## Why play a legal job?

- **Steady income** without combat risk
- **RP variety** — not everyone wants to be a criminal
- **You serve the city** — cops keep order, EMS keep players alive
- **Whitelist gates** apply to most roles — apply via admin or Discord
- **Pay rates** are generally lower than crime, but predictable

## How to start a job

Most jobs require:

1. Be on the **whitelist** — admin approval (usually via Discord application)
2. Visit the job's **duty location** (police HQ, hospital, business)
3. Use the **clock-in** prompt (ox_target or menu)
4. You're now on duty — gear/uniform applied automatically
5. Clock out the same way

> 💡 **Some jobs are open to all (no whitelist).** Check with admin which.
