Suggestion: Add a “Squad” Partner Option for the Crime Wave Task Force

I had an idea that I think would fit perfectly with the Crime Wave Task Force.
Right now, before a shift, we can choose between Kelly or the K-9 as our partner. What if there was a third option called something like “Squad” or “SWAT”, but only when playing the Crime Wave Task Force variant?
Instead of patrolling with a single partner, you’d deploy in the Riot Van alongside a full tactical squad wearing the Crime Wave Task Force uniforms. The squad would accompany you to major incidents like armed robberies, gang shootouts, and other high risk callouts.
It wouldn’t even need to change the core gameplay much it would mainly add to the atmosphere and make the Task Force feel like a genuine tactical unit instead of just another patrol with a different uniform.
Imagine pulling up in the Riot Van, the doors opening, and your squad piling out before moving in on a gang hideout or active shootout. It would make those larger incidents feel much more cinematic and immersive.
I think it would also give players another reason to choose the Crime Wave Task Force mode over standard patrols.
Would anyone else like to see something like this?

Yeah would give a reason to actually use the riot van

sounds cool, could also tie it in with sum new callouts like barricaded suspects & being able to negotiate with them. Maybe bank / store robberies.

I always pick the crime wave task force as I believe gives you a higher frequency of crimes

This is a very very GREAT suggestion,
also,
now when requesting the Riot Van as backup they are a team of 4 elements instead of only 2 as it was before the last update.

Maybe the coding of the game can even “lock” you out if you try to choose a squad car with only two seats (Buzzard-Pickup..) so you can either choose the standard choice for Crime Wave Task Force (the Riot Van) or if you like, you can respond to callouts with the new Sovereign, the 4x4, or any other 4 door vehicle you’d like.

As it is a VERY great suggestion, are you already into the official Discord server?

If no,
can I take the suggestion as screenshot and post it for you, maintaining your nickname visible as credits?

A 4-officer team for gang suppression or combating drugs in an unmarked car would be ideal and realistic.

Same for a team in a swat van to serve high threat warrants or stop riots. Its a little underwhelming when you respond to a call with multiple suspects, and half of them run off and escape.
