# Prevent Police Weapons from Being Stolen

> Restrict specific weapons so only players with the police job can move them into their inventory

Want to make sure only police officers can move police weapons to their inventory? This guide shows you how, step-by-step.

This feature prevents non-police players from moving police weapons into their personal inventory. If a player tries to steal a police weapon, they'll get an error message and the transfer will be blocked.

<Note>
  This functionality is automatically provided by the `_hooks/sv_policeonly.lua` hook (in case you want to edit it). You just need to mark your weapons as police-only.
</Note>

## Step-by-step guide

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the items file">
    Open your server files and navigate to: `jaksam_inventory/_data/items.lua`
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find or create the weapon">
    Find the weapon item you want to protect (or create it if it doesn't exist).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Mark it as police-only">
    Add `policeOnly = true` to the item definition.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Restart">
    Save the file and restart the script/reload the server.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  That's it! Now only players with the "police" job can move that weapon to their personal inventory.

## Examples

### Example 1: Combat Pistol

```lua theme={null}
['WEAPON_COMBATPISTOL'] = {
    label = 'Combat Pistol',
    weight = 1.0,
    stackable = false,
    close = true,
    description = 'A combat pistol',
    type = 'weapon',
    ammo = 'ammo_9mm',
    throwableOptions = {
        model = nil,
        coords = {x = 0.08, y = 0.03, z = -0.06},
        rot = {x = -25.45, y = -3.76, z = 49.99}
    },
    policeOnly = true  -- Only police can move this weapon
},
```

### Example 2: Stun Gun

```lua theme={null}
['WEAPON_STUNGUN'] = {
    label = 'Stun Gun',
    weight = 1.0,
    stackable = false,
    close = true,
    description = 'A police stun gun',
    type = 'weapon',
    policeOnly = true  -- Only police can move this weapon
},
```

## How it works

The `sv_policeonly.lua` hook automatically checks every time someone tries to move a weapon with `policeOnly = true` to a player inventory. If the player doesn't have the "police" job, the transfer is blocked and they see an error message.

<Warning>
  This only blocks transfers to **player inventories**. Police weapons can still be moved between other inventory types (like storage, vehicles, etc.) by anyone.
</Warning>
