- Not to be confused with Illegal Swimming.
Swimming in a Prohibited Area is a Reported Incident in 112 Operator that is only available with the Water Operations DLC. It can only occur on water, and reached only by water or airborne vehicles. This uncommon incident requires only police response, though it can turn into a purely medical situation in some circumstances. It has only one incident site. It can start occurring on the very first duty of any game.
The incident involves a person who has been spotted swimming in a dangerous area that is normally prohibited. The person must be arrested and taken to prison, and will not offer any resistance. In some cases, failing to reach the person within a rather short amount of time results in them drowning, and requiring substantial medical treatment and transport to hospital instead.
Conditions to Spawn[]
The Swimming in a Prohibited Area incident requires the Water Operations DLC to be installed and active. This incident can spawn on any Duty in any game mode. It is normally uncommon among water incidents.
This incident may only spawn in a Water district. If the player does not control any water districts, the incident cannot spawn. This incident will always spawn close to the shore.
This incident is more than twice as common during Hot weather. It becomes rare during Cold, Windy, or Rainy weather. It cannot occur at all during Snowy weather.
Resolution[]
The Swimming in a Prohibited Area incident must be reached within 700 seconds of real time (on SLOW game speed) or it will automatically fail. However, there is a chance that within 450 seconds, this incident will turn into a purely medical incident, requiring a completely different kind of response. It is best not to take that chance.
The reputation reward for resolving this incident is +1.
The penalty for ignoring this incident is -1, subjected to multipliers from the current difficulty setting.
Scene Elements[]
This incident contains one scene with only a single police element. However, a hidden timer could change it into a medical element.
Description[]
The scene takes place in open water. By default, the illegal swimmer is still swimming in the water. They require arrest and transport to prison.
However, in 30% of all cases, there is a hidden timer that begins to tick as soon as this incident spawns on the map. Within 450 seconds of real-time (on SLOW game speed) the timer elapses, reducing the swimmer's Hit Points to only 5. This turns them from a suspect into an heavily injured person, at which point they no longer require arrest, and instead require substantial medical treatment followed by transportation to hospital.
Due to the risk of this timer, it's best to respond to the incident as quickly as possible. If no police units are free or near enough to the site, consider sending a medical boat in the meanwhile, just in case the person drowns before police can get to him.
