Promotional Cooldown Requirements

As of the 2025 APF Upgrade, we have slightly modified our promotional cooldown requirements for our officers within APF.

Promotional Cooldown refers to the amount of time an officer must wait until being able to reach the next rank. Officers can still receive promotional points during this time.
