HomeDUTIES AND GENERAL ENFORCEMENT
Jurisdiction Lines
The Los Santos Police Department is a local law enforcement agency that ensures that the entire unity of Los Santos is protected and served under the San Andreas Constitution. We are paid to patrol and provide police service to the City of Los Santos.
With that being said, our jurisdiction lines go to the beginning of Flint and Red Country. Officers may leave their jurisdiction if responding to an emergency situation, or for other lawful reasons in the course of their duty, such as a pursuit.
Vehicles
The garage for the Los Santos Police Department has many different kinds of vehicles parked inside it, this section will inform you about most of those vehicles as well as rules concerning them. It is extremely important that after patrolling you park your car into the appropriate parking space, disable the lights and engine.
Many people feel that since they are an officer that can park their vehicle wherever they like inside the garage or just outside, this belief is incorrect. Cadets and Officers must park their vehicle in the Courthouse Parking Garage, even if it is a LSPD Cruiser. If you are a Corporal or above, or you are a member of SWAT, you may park your vehicle in the parking lot outside the garage. Anybody who parks their car inappropriately will have it ticketed and impounded.
LSPD Cruiser
The standard patrol vehicle of the Los Santos Police Department. It may be driven at any rank, however Cadets must be supervised at all times.
SAPD Motorcycle
A highly maneuverable vehicle that is able to move at high speeds through any terrain. It may be used by Corporals as long as sufficient safety gear is worn.
Great for tailing a suspects vehicle to keep units updated.
MPS Towtruck
The towtruck, often just referred to as MPS, is an important vehicle within the department that can be used by anybody at anytime. While using it you are permitted to ticket and impound vehicles, as long as procedure is followed.
SWAT Enforcer
The Enforcer is a big heavy armored vehicle that is mostly used for transporting dangerous criminals or VIPs. In bomb threat situations it is called out to transport the bomb if it can't be disarmed in time.
SAPD Maverick (Polair)
The Maverick is an extremely useful in pursuits to keep an eye on suspects. Keeping up with fast vehicles easily, it is not able to stop them meaning it may only be used to give locations or transporting officers to other locations easily.
LVPD Cruiser
This is the LVPD cruiser. It's restricted for the LSPD High commanders only. It used to watch the LSPD general duties work and to patrol city-wide. It's upgraded engine provides a faster acceleration than the LSPD crusier. Only Captains and above may patrol in the LVPD cruiser.
SAPD Rancher
A sturdy vehicle with decent speed, the Rancher is great for off-road chases. It may be used by Sergeants and above.
SWAT Splashy
The S.W.A.T. Splashy is a heavily armoured vehicle that is mostly used to water the suspects down to disable them from shooting and/or running away. It's used in the most hard situations only by S.W.A.T. members and Captains and above.
SWAT Cruiser
This S.W.A.T crusier. It is only for the SWAT high commanders when they want to patrol or watch S.W.A.T. duties. It's mostly used in the convoy's and for big transports to secure the areas.
If you are found driving vehicles ,without permission from the Chief, that are not consistent with your rank, you will be suspended and/or terminated from the LSPD.

Procedures and Duties of Officers
Station Duty
When assigned to station duty, your job is to simply stay inside the LSPD and manage lawyers, loiterers, and maintain control. You are to watch the civillians who enter the LSPD and determine whether or not they will cause trouble. Your sole job is to maintain the peace and order of the station and to watch what's happening. If someone begins to loitering and acts disrespectful and or disorderly, you kindly ask them to leave. If someone trespasses beyond the LSPD door which separates the lobby from the lockers, ask them to leave, if they refuse call for additional back up and arrest the trespasser for failure to comply and trespassing.
If anyone enters asking how to apply for the LSPD inform them how to apply, if they are asking for an FTO, refer them to one.
Lawyers
Lawyers are people who will commonly come to LSPD asking permission to see their clients. You are to ask for their Lawyer papers then frisk them for illegal weapons or drugs. If they possess either yo uare to arrest the suspect. You are also to make sure the lawyer isn't armed, if he is you are to take his weapon before allowing him to enter. If a lawyer enters without permission to are to ask them to leave, if they refuse you are to arrest them for trespassing. Before allowing a lawyer to enter make sure that there are actual suspects inside the cells. Be sure that he is actually dressed like a lawyer and not a gangster.
Metro Parking Service
While patrolling in a MPS Tow-truck there is a high likelihood that pedestrians will ask you for help with a multitude of things. Simply explain to them that you are on MPS duty and are not permitted to leave your vehicle to take on any additional tasks. If a situation seems serious request for a unit to come to your position over the radio. Remember, as with patrolling, if you are caught doing a side job you will be punished depending on the circumstances.
Cadets will often be driving around in tow-trucks so that they can get driving experience, learn their way around Los Santos, and hopefully get experience as a Police Officer - as an officer on MPS Duty, it is your job to maintain the streets. You will often find many disabled or illegally parked vehicles around Los Santos and it is your job to move them, ticket them, or impound them. It is important that you keep an eye open and search areas like Ganton Gym or Pay n Spray's for cars, and even more important to search for any abandoned LSPD vehicles.
When you find a vehicle take notice of its condition, if a car is totalled then it likely isn't parked in its location by choice so just move it to the side of the road and leave it as it is; however if you find a perfectly healthy car or a car that is partially damaged parked illegally then move it to the side of the road and ticket it. Any vehicle with 2 outstanding tickets is to be impounded.
Patrolling
When you're on patrol you are to report over the radio that you are going on duty, then you are to update your status as to where you are actively patrolling.(Using the new Sector System) You're only job whilst patrolling is to patrol, patrolling is searching for law breakers, when you find a law breaker who is driving you are to pull them over, if they refuse you report a 10-80, if you find a law breaker on the ground, then you call for additional backup on the radio then proceed to the suspect telling them to put their hands up, MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE FORCE MATRIX.
When it comes to going 10-7 or 10-6 you need to request permission over the radio. The only people who can grant this is Sergeants and Above.
NOTE: CADETS CAN NEVER PATROL ALONE, IF YOU ARE CAUGHT YOU WILL BE FIRED ON SPOT.
Arresting Suspects
When beginning an arrest, the person at question must have committed a crime. If they have and you have seen it, you must instruct them to put their hands up, if they fail to do so or turn and run, you have permission to use your tazer to stop the suspect.(DO NOT RUSHTAZE) once the suspect is stopped you are to cuff them and detain them.(YOU MUST ROLE PLAY THE DETAIN)
Afterwards you are to take them to the LSPD, once there you MUST GET THEIR NAME BEFORE ADDING CHARGES, it is mandatory, and if you do not get their name and they fail to comply you can role-play frisking them and in /do ask if you find an ID. If there is no ID you can always go for the last option, which is fingerprinting them, you must roleplay this again, if you can't get there name is absolutely no other way, you will label them as a [J. Doe] at the end of each charge. When arresting them make sure you frisk them for illegal items and make sure you do not stack any charges. If you charge stack you will most likely be demoted/removed from the LSPD. Make sure you use appropriate charges when adding them(No /su'ing "Car Park")
Once all the appropriate charges are added you are to go to the arrest star.(/arrest (Fine) (Time) (Bail on/off 0/1) (Bail price) DO NOT MAKE SOMEONE MOST WANTED FOR PUNCHING YOU, that is abuse and you could find yourself demoted.)
Ticketing Drivers
Ticketing civilians generally will happen because of traffic stops. What usually happens is that you pull someone over, and since they broke the traffic law, you give them a ticket! Based on their offense will determine whether or not you ticket them and or how much you will ticket them for. There is an appropriate way to pull someone over however, and there is an inappropriate way. The appropriate way is to turn your sirens on and notify them over the megaphone to pull over. If they comply and pull over, you report a 10-26 over the radio, however, if they do not comply and they evade, you report a 10-80 over RTO.
Once they pull over you are to order them to turn off their engine.(Role play) Once they have you exit your own vehicle and walk up to the window of theirs, then you ask in /do if their windows are down or up. If down you ask them if they know why they were pulled over, then tell them why. After that your ask them to hand your their licenses (More role play) once they show you their licenses you go back to your own cruiser and search them up in the MDC(Do not Metagame their licenses plate etc, you only know their name if you get their licenses) if everything checks out you go back up to the car you've pulled over and determine whether or not you want to ticket them, if you do, then you give them a ticket according to the offense they broke.
If they do not have a valid licenses or refuse to comply through the whole thing you can ask them to exit their vehicle and put their hands up then arrest them.
Off Duty and On Duty
There has been a wide variety of going off duty in the Los Santos Police Department. Everyone applied to the police department to "work" not to go off duty twenty-four seven whenever they feel like it. Please read below to find out the current rules on going off and on duty. Cadets must be on duty all the time. The only time they're allowed to be off duty is when they clock out at night. (( log off. )) Everyone else within the Los Santos Police Department must be ON DUTY at all times unless given permission by a Sergeant or above. The rule of going off duty as a Officer or above has been abolished. If anyone is caught going off duty, they may receive disciplinary action.So please, just stay on duty unless it's really needed that you go off.
Miranda Rights
The Miranda Rights are a warning that is required to be given to detained criminals by a Law Enforcement Officer before they are interrogated to inform them about their constitutional rights. This is the rights as spoken by members of the Los Santos Police Department.
"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do or say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney after initial processing has been completed. Do you understand these rights as I have read them?"
If the Miranda Rights are not read to someone whom has been detained or arrested, the arrest is considered void and will not be completed in the court of law. The subject may be released at once if the rights were not read.

Divisions
Field Training Operations
The Training and Recruitment Division, known as FTO, is ran under the supervision of the appointed director. This division consists of Corporals and Officers who are doing the job of reviewing applications and taking applicants on their training run to become Cadets and get into the department itself. Without these fine members, we would have no staff. This division has a staff limit.
Traffic Enforcement [TE]
Traffic Enforcement is in charge of everything related to traffic. TE members will be in charge of regular patrol along with operations involving drunk drivers checkpoints and speed traps. TE has to patrol in uniform and in a marked cruiser at all times.
Internal Affairs
The Internal Affairs strive for fairness, professionalism and respect. Members of the Internal Affairs have the authority to administer I.A. strikes. Everyone who is involved in a strike is given fair time to explain themselves, proper evidence supporting the strike, as well as possible reconciliation for the strike. Without coordination and cooperation, the LSPD cannot function properly and efficiently. The I.A department deals with all kinds of problems from Officer to Officer feuds, general misconduct within the P.D, or even an officers personal problems.
Special Weapons and Tactics [S.W.A.T]
S.W.A.T handles all high risk situations. S.W.A.T will be in charge of ALL Hostage Situations, Bank Robberies, and but not limited to, apprehending most wanted suspects.

Jurisdiction Lines
The Los Santos Police Department is a local law enforcement agency that ensures that the entire unity of Los Santos is protected and served under the San Andreas Constitution. We are paid to patrol and provide police service to the City of Los Santos.
With that being said, our jurisdiction lines go to the beginning of Flint and Red Country. Officers may leave their jurisdiction if responding to an emergency situation, or for other lawful reasons in the course of their duty, such as a pursuit.
Vehicles
The garage for the Los Santos Police Department has many different kinds of vehicles parked inside it, this section will inform you about most of those vehicles as well as rules concerning them. It is extremely important that after patrolling you park your car into the appropriate parking space, disable the lights and engine.
Many people feel that since they are an officer that can park their vehicle wherever they like inside the garage or just outside, this belief is incorrect. Cadets and Officers must park their vehicle in the Courthouse Parking Garage, even if it is a LSPD Cruiser. If you are a Corporal or above, or you are a member of SWAT, you may park your vehicle in the parking lot outside the garage. Anybody who parks their car inappropriately will have it ticketed and impounded.
LSPD Cruiser
The standard patrol vehicle of the Los Santos Police Department. It may be driven at any rank, however Cadets must be supervised at all times.
SAPD Motorcycle
A highly maneuverable vehicle that is able to move at high speeds through any terrain. It may be used by Corporals as long as sufficient safety gear is worn.
Great for tailing a suspects vehicle to keep units updated.
MPS Towtruck
The towtruck, often just referred to as MPS, is an important vehicle within the department that can be used by anybody at anytime. While using it you are permitted to ticket and impound vehicles, as long as procedure is followed.
SWAT Enforcer
The Enforcer is a big heavy armored vehicle that is mostly used for transporting dangerous criminals or VIPs. In bomb threat situations it is called out to transport the bomb if it can't be disarmed in time.
SAPD Maverick (Polair)
The Maverick is an extremely useful in pursuits to keep an eye on suspects. Keeping up with fast vehicles easily, it is not able to stop them meaning it may only be used to give locations or transporting officers to other locations easily.
LVPD Cruiser
This is the LVPD cruiser. It's restricted for the LSPD High commanders only. It used to watch the LSPD general duties work and to patrol city-wide. It's upgraded engine provides a faster acceleration than the LSPD crusier. Only Captains and above may patrol in the LVPD cruiser.
SAPD Rancher
A sturdy vehicle with decent speed, the Rancher is great for off-road chases. It may be used by Sergeants and above.
SWAT Splashy
The S.W.A.T. Splashy is a heavily armoured vehicle that is mostly used to water the suspects down to disable them from shooting and/or running away. It's used in the most hard situations only by S.W.A.T. members and Captains and above.
SWAT Cruiser
This S.W.A.T crusier. It is only for the SWAT high commanders when they want to patrol or watch S.W.A.T. duties. It's mostly used in the convoy's and for big transports to secure the areas.
If you are found driving vehicles ,without permission from the Chief, that are not consistent with your rank, you will be suspended and/or terminated from the LSPD.

Procedures and Duties of Officers
Station Duty
When assigned to station duty, your job is to simply stay inside the LSPD and manage lawyers, loiterers, and maintain control. You are to watch the civillians who enter the LSPD and determine whether or not they will cause trouble. Your sole job is to maintain the peace and order of the station and to watch what's happening. If someone begins to loitering and acts disrespectful and or disorderly, you kindly ask them to leave. If someone trespasses beyond the LSPD door which separates the lobby from the lockers, ask them to leave, if they refuse call for additional back up and arrest the trespasser for failure to comply and trespassing.
If anyone enters asking how to apply for the LSPD inform them how to apply, if they are asking for an FTO, refer them to one.
Lawyers
Lawyers are people who will commonly come to LSPD asking permission to see their clients. You are to ask for their Lawyer papers then frisk them for illegal weapons or drugs. If they possess either yo uare to arrest the suspect. You are also to make sure the lawyer isn't armed, if he is you are to take his weapon before allowing him to enter. If a lawyer enters without permission to are to ask them to leave, if they refuse you are to arrest them for trespassing. Before allowing a lawyer to enter make sure that there are actual suspects inside the cells. Be sure that he is actually dressed like a lawyer and not a gangster.
Metro Parking Service
While patrolling in a MPS Tow-truck there is a high likelihood that pedestrians will ask you for help with a multitude of things. Simply explain to them that you are on MPS duty and are not permitted to leave your vehicle to take on any additional tasks. If a situation seems serious request for a unit to come to your position over the radio. Remember, as with patrolling, if you are caught doing a side job you will be punished depending on the circumstances.
Cadets will often be driving around in tow-trucks so that they can get driving experience, learn their way around Los Santos, and hopefully get experience as a Police Officer - as an officer on MPS Duty, it is your job to maintain the streets. You will often find many disabled or illegally parked vehicles around Los Santos and it is your job to move them, ticket them, or impound them. It is important that you keep an eye open and search areas like Ganton Gym or Pay n Spray's for cars, and even more important to search for any abandoned LSPD vehicles.
When you find a vehicle take notice of its condition, if a car is totalled then it likely isn't parked in its location by choice so just move it to the side of the road and leave it as it is; however if you find a perfectly healthy car or a car that is partially damaged parked illegally then move it to the side of the road and ticket it. Any vehicle with 2 outstanding tickets is to be impounded.
Patrolling
When you're on patrol you are to report over the radio that you are going on duty, then you are to update your status as to where you are actively patrolling.(Using the new Sector System) You're only job whilst patrolling is to patrol, patrolling is searching for law breakers, when you find a law breaker who is driving you are to pull them over, if they refuse you report a 10-80, if you find a law breaker on the ground, then you call for additional backup on the radio then proceed to the suspect telling them to put their hands up, MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE FORCE MATRIX.
When it comes to going 10-7 or 10-6 you need to request permission over the radio. The only people who can grant this is Sergeants and Above.
NOTE: CADETS CAN NEVER PATROL ALONE, IF YOU ARE CAUGHT YOU WILL BE FIRED ON SPOT.
Arresting Suspects
When beginning an arrest, the person at question must have committed a crime. If they have and you have seen it, you must instruct them to put their hands up, if they fail to do so or turn and run, you have permission to use your tazer to stop the suspect.(DO NOT RUSHTAZE) once the suspect is stopped you are to cuff them and detain them.(YOU MUST ROLE PLAY THE DETAIN)
Afterwards you are to take them to the LSPD, once there you MUST GET THEIR NAME BEFORE ADDING CHARGES, it is mandatory, and if you do not get their name and they fail to comply you can role-play frisking them and in /do ask if you find an ID. If there is no ID you can always go for the last option, which is fingerprinting them, you must roleplay this again, if you can't get there name is absolutely no other way, you will label them as a [J. Doe] at the end of each charge. When arresting them make sure you frisk them for illegal items and make sure you do not stack any charges. If you charge stack you will most likely be demoted/removed from the LSPD. Make sure you use appropriate charges when adding them(No /su'ing "Car Park")
Once all the appropriate charges are added you are to go to the arrest star.(/arrest (Fine) (Time) (Bail on/off 0/1) (Bail price) DO NOT MAKE SOMEONE MOST WANTED FOR PUNCHING YOU, that is abuse and you could find yourself demoted.)
Ticketing Drivers
Ticketing civilians generally will happen because of traffic stops. What usually happens is that you pull someone over, and since they broke the traffic law, you give them a ticket! Based on their offense will determine whether or not you ticket them and or how much you will ticket them for. There is an appropriate way to pull someone over however, and there is an inappropriate way. The appropriate way is to turn your sirens on and notify them over the megaphone to pull over. If they comply and pull over, you report a 10-26 over the radio, however, if they do not comply and they evade, you report a 10-80 over RTO.
Once they pull over you are to order them to turn off their engine.(Role play) Once they have you exit your own vehicle and walk up to the window of theirs, then you ask in /do if their windows are down or up. If down you ask them if they know why they were pulled over, then tell them why. After that your ask them to hand your their licenses (More role play) once they show you their licenses you go back to your own cruiser and search them up in the MDC(Do not Metagame their licenses plate etc, you only know their name if you get their licenses) if everything checks out you go back up to the car you've pulled over and determine whether or not you want to ticket them, if you do, then you give them a ticket according to the offense they broke.
If they do not have a valid licenses or refuse to comply through the whole thing you can ask them to exit their vehicle and put their hands up then arrest them.
Off Duty and On Duty
There has been a wide variety of going off duty in the Los Santos Police Department. Everyone applied to the police department to "work" not to go off duty twenty-four seven whenever they feel like it. Please read below to find out the current rules on going off and on duty. Cadets must be on duty all the time. The only time they're allowed to be off duty is when they clock out at night. (( log off. )) Everyone else within the Los Santos Police Department must be ON DUTY at all times unless given permission by a Sergeant or above. The rule of going off duty as a Officer or above has been abolished. If anyone is caught going off duty, they may receive disciplinary action.So please, just stay on duty unless it's really needed that you go off.
Miranda Rights
The Miranda Rights are a warning that is required to be given to detained criminals by a Law Enforcement Officer before they are interrogated to inform them about their constitutional rights. This is the rights as spoken by members of the Los Santos Police Department.
"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do or say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney after initial processing has been completed. Do you understand these rights as I have read them?"
If the Miranda Rights are not read to someone whom has been detained or arrested, the arrest is considered void and will not be completed in the court of law. The subject may be released at once if the rights were not read.
