Upgraded Crime Reports

Anyone that has a PD/EMS/DOC character knows that every now and then you are spammed with calls like, "Shots Fired" or "Vehicle Theft" or "Brandishing". It can become quite annoying, especially when the calls take up half your screen and repeatedly make the ping noise. What I am suggesting aims to get rid of this common issue and advance the way crime is reported to players with government jobs.

Picture this; Instead of a Shots Fired call being spammed, it is upgraded to a Level 2 priority call and renamed to something like Excessive Shots Fired. If the shots are coming from multiple parties, it may be upgraded to a Level 3 priority and renamed to a Gunfight/Shootout. What if police are involved and several officers trigger their 13-A? It could be compacted into a slightly larger tile that persists and adds the count of down/up officers to the tile.

Another way this system could innovate is by combining related calls into a single tile. For example; PD receive a Brandishing call, followed by a Mugging, followed by a Vehicle Theft, all in the same area. The most likely scenario is that someone pulled a gun on a local, mugged them and stole their car. Instead of keeping the three calls separate, they could build on top of one another based on the order that they were reported in, and upgrade from a Brandishing, to a Mugging, and then to a Carjacking respectively.

The reason for this is simple. We don't wanna see all that. We don't need to see all that. It's annoying and doesn't make sense.

Thank you!
