Secure the Crossroad is a Reported Incident in 112 Operator. This incident may only occur as part of the VIP Transit event, and is the most common incident to be spawned in all cases of that event. It is a work-intensive police incident that does not speed up with equipment or skills - only the number of officers present. It has only one incident site.
The incident involves an intersection that lies on the route of a VIP's motorcade. Police must arrive at the intersection and set up a blockade to prevent traffic and pedestrians from crossing the road until the VIP has passed.
Failure to resolve this incident in time will result in a delay of the motorcade's movement through the city, which reduces your Reputation reward for that event.
Conditions to Spawn[]
The Secure the Crossroad incident cannot spawn at all during normal play; it will only ever spawn as part of the VIP Transit event. It is the most common incident that spawns as a direct result of this event.
Each time a VIP makes a journey through the city, the game marks out five locations along the path between the VIP's origin point and destination. One incident will spawn in each of these locations. No matter the nature of the VIP in question, most of the five locations (and potentially all five) will have Secure the Crossroad incidents spawn on them. Read the article on the VIP Transit event to see what else might spawn.
This incident will always spawn on a road - specifically, on the road that the VIP will take to the summit.
Resolution[]
The Secure the Crossroad incident must be reached within 40,000 seconds of real time (on SLOW game speed) or it will automatically fail. Since this is equal to 5 whole Duties, it's just another way of saying "this incident can't expire".
However, that does not mean the incident isn't urgent: The VIP will usually start moving after only a few hundred seconds, and if the motorcade reaches this incident before it is resolved, your Reputation reward for the VIP Transit event begins to decrease rapidly until the VIP is cleared to move again.
The reputation reward for resolving this incident is +10. Note: This reward will only be given once the VIP's motorcade passes through the incident site.
This incident cannot be manually ignored and cannot expire; it must be resolved sooner or later. The script does define a -10 point penalty for failing the incident, but unless you want to wait 30 minutes on full game speed, you'll never hit that penalty.
Scene Elements[]
The Secure the Crossroad incident contains one scene with only a single police element.
Description[]
The scene takes place in the open. The only element on the scene is the crossroad itself, which is a Policework element. This element can be worked by up to 4 police officers simultaneously, and is performed faster by experienced officers, but does not benefit from any type of equipment.
The element requires 600 Work Seconds to resolve. Even 4 officers working together will take a while to resolve it. Therefore, it's important to send units to the area quickly.
Note that resolving the Policework element does not resolve the scene. Police will wait at the site even if they have nothing more to do here. The scene will only be resolved once the VIP's motorcade reaches it.
