What it does

This is a bail enforcement job for FiveM. It covers both sides of the system: officers can place players on parole, and licensed bounty hunters chase down anyone who skips out. A player on bail has to report to an NPC Parole Officer every day of their sentence. Miss a meeting and bail is automatically revoked, which drops them straight onto the bounty list for hunters to capture.

Bail and parole

• Players placed on bail must attend daily parole meetings with their Parole Officer (NPC).
• Each meeting sends them out into the community to complete community service and stay compliant.
• Missing a meeting automatically revokes bail and opens the player up to bounty hunters, who detain them for a reward.
• Everyone on bail wears an ankle monitor that shows their position to all on-duty officers.
• The monitor can be cut off, which alerts police (requires configuring your dispatch event).
• Any officer with bail management permission can pardon or revoke a bail.

Bounty hunting

• Players with bounty hunting permission clock in and receive a loadout. The default Tazer only works on active bounty targets, so taze abuse against random players is off the table.
• NPC bounties generate automatically at low, medium, or high risk levels.
• Risk level drives how the NPC behaves when you close in:
• - Fleeing on foot
• - Fleeing via vehicle
• - Assault
• - Deadly assault with a weapon
• Bounties can be taken on together. When a hunter turns in your shared bounty, both of you get paid.
• Handing a player bounty over to an officer pays a bonus multiplier to the officer and the hunter.
• Works with ox_target, qb-target, qtarget, or with targeting disabled entirely.
• Runs on ESX and QB out of the box, and the bridge is fully open if you want to wire up another framework or target system.

Requirements

• ESX (1.1+), QBox, or QB. The bridge is fully accessible if you want to code your own.
• ox_lib (required, works anywhere).
