Instructor Introduction Script
Below is an Introduction Speech / Script you can use during the first phase of any DHS training session. This version highlights that the training will occur in three distinct phases: the Explanation Phase, the Theoretical Phase, and the Test Phase. Feel free to adapt the script to fit your server’s specific procedures, divisions, or training environment.
Scene Setup
Location: Classroom inside the police department building.
Characters: Instructor (Trainer), Trainee (New Recruit).
Phase 1: Entering the Classroom
Instructor (leading the trainee into the classroom, gesturing toward desks or chairs):
“Please come in and take a seat. We’ll be starting shortly.”
(The trainee sits down, and the instructor positions themselves in front of a whiteboard or projector.)
Phase 2: Welcome & Introduction
Instructor (facing the trainee, speaking clearly):
First Message
“Welcome to today’s DHS training session. My name is [NAME], and I’ll be your instructor for this phase. Over the course of this training, we’re going to cover everything you need to know to serve under the Department of Homeland Security.”
Second Message
“As you may know, the DHS is responsible for the security of our nation—protecting high-profile individuals, mitigating internal threats, and keeping our borders safe. Our mission is crucial, and we rely on well-trained personnel like yourself to carry it out.”
Training Overview
“Our training today will take place in three phases: (1) The Explanation Phase, which is what we’re doing right now—covering the basic concepts in this classroom setting. (2) The Theoretical Phase, where we’ll move onto the field for a more hands-on demonstration and practice of the procedures. (3) Finally, the Test Phase, during which you’ll complete a short questionnaire to ensure you’ve grasped the essential points.”
(Pause briefly to let the trainee absorb the information.)
Phase 3: Explanation Phase (Current Classroom Session)
Instructor:
“Before we dive into the practical aspect, let’s talk about the fundamentals: uniforms, weapons, gear, as well as our vehicles, liveries, and divisions.”
Uniforms
“All recruits and most divisions start with the DHS Class A or Class C uniforms, depending on their rank and function. Some divisions, like OIA (Office of Intelligence & Analysis), use DHS suits. Trainees typically wear a distinct uniform so they’re easily identifiable.”
“It’s important to maintain a professional appearance, so keep your uniform clean and follow any additional dress guidelines set by your division.”
Weapons & Gear
“Each division has different weapons authorizations, but generally you’ll be introduced to basics like the Glock 17 or Shield 9. Always remember: weapon discipline is paramount.”
“You’ll also have access to a Taser for non-lethal engagements, a duty belt (handcuffs, flashlight, radio, etc.), cones, barriers, and other items for traffic or checkpoint control. Divisions like TRT (Tactical Response Team) have extra SWAT-level gear if they have the right training and clearance.”
Vehicles & Liveries
“Each division has designated vehicles. For example, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) uses the 2020 Flacon Utility with the ICE livery. CBP (Customs and Border Protection) does the same but with CBP livery, and so on. Some divisions like OIA or CISA use undercover liveries. It’s crucial to use the correct livery for identification and operational integrity.”
“Check your vehicle’s fuel level and condition at the start of every shift—running out of fuel or driving a damaged vehicle mid-operation isn’t just inconvenient; it’s a breach of protocol.”
Rules & Regulations
“Familiarize yourself with the DHS Handbook, which includes our core policies, chain of command, and the constitution that outlines our mission and values.”
Shift Logging
“It’s crucial to log every shift using the ERM Bot or the designated system. That ensures you get credit for your service and helps us track activity.”
DHS Divisions
ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement)
CBP (Customs and Border Protection)
Secret Service (SS)
Office of Intelligence & Analysis (OIA)
CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency)
TRT (Tactical Response Team)
OEM (Office of Emergency Management)
OSO (Office of Security Operations)
CTD (Counterterrorism Division)
Instructor: “We’ll go deeper into these divisions later in the training, but this gives you a sense of where you might specialize.”
Division Preference
“Do you have a particular division in mind? Let me know if any of these pique your interest, and we’ll make sure to include more details about that division as we move forward.”
"Alright, I’ve taken note of your division preference. We’ll tailor the next phases of your training to meet that division’s requirements."
(Log the trainee’s response for future reference.)
Phase 4: Transition to Theoretical Phase (On the Field)
Instructor:
“Now that we’ve covered the basics here in the classroom, we’ll move on to the Theoretical Phase—a hands-on field experience. You’ll observe how to properly perform traffic stops, set up checkpoints, or respond to certain calls depending on the division you’re aiming for. During this phase, feel free to ask questions, and be prepared to practice key procedures under guidance.”
(Briefly outline what the field exercises might look like—e.g., patrolling, mock arrests, etc.)
Phase 5: Test Phase (Mini Questionnaire)
Instructor:
“After the theoretical training on the field, we’ll return here for the Test Phase. You’ll complete a short questionnaire that covers everything we’ve discussed—from uniforms and gear to vehicle use, division roles, and basic protocols. Passing this test will confirm that you’re ready to move on to your specific division’s advanced training.”
(Explain how the test will be administered—e.g., on paper, via Discord bot, in-game quiz, etc.)
Phase 6: Conclusion of the Classroom Session
Instructor (smiling and addressing the trainee):
“That’s the outline for your training today: Explanation, Theoretical, and Test Phases. This classroom briefing is just the beginning. The DHS is only as strong as its members, so your dedication to learning and following protocols will be crucial for your success here. Let’s get ready for the next stage, and I look forward to seeing how you perform.”
