RTO Standards
In the Los Santos Police Department, Officer's follow a protocol whilst being connected to the LSPD's Dispatch Frequency (( dispatch channel on teamspeak )). From time to time, you might see RTO: Passive, RTO: Mild, or RTO: Aggressive. Both the (1) the current members online, (2) the crime rate can depend on whether the RTO's status is set specifically or not. If you do not know already, RTO stands for Radio Transmission Only.
RTO Aggressive: is also known as strict RTO (( in teamspeak )). Whilst set on 'aggressive', members in dispatch can only strictly update the situation on pursuits, traffic stops, or other emergency situations. All other conversing must be dealt with over the secondary radio (( /r )). If an Officer is updating, you are expected to be completely quiet.
RTO Mild: is also between passive and strict RTO (( in teamspeak )). Whilst set on 'mild', members in dispatch may speak freely (( ICly )) until an emergency situation is to be conversed or updated. All other conversing must be dealt with over the thirdary (( ooc )) radio (( /pr )). If an Officer is updating, you are expected to be completely quiet
RTO Passive: is also known as light RTO (( in teamspeak )). Whilst set on 'passive', members in dispatch may speak freely (( IC and OOC )) until an emergency situation is to be conversed or updated. All other conversing must be dealt with over the secondary (( /r )) or thirdary (( /pr )) radio. Even though the RTO is set to light, if an officer is updating, you are expected to be as quite as you can to hear all updates clearly.

Daily Encounters
SAN ANDREAS POLICE DEPARTMENT
Metropolitan Services
Metropolitan Service Units tend to be Cadets. What MPS units do, is tow vehicles that consist of $2,000 worth of fines or over. Once a vehicle is towed by the driver, they will bring it to the impound garage at LSPD, then immediately transferred to the Dillimore DMV, where the vehicle owner can pay their fines due to the vehicle. MPS truck drivers are only allowed to give vehicles fines if they are illegally parked. Illegally parked vehicles consist of parked in the middle of the street, parked in a no parking zone, or not parked with two of the vehicles tires parked on the road, the other two on the sidewalk. As a Cadet, this is their primary job to do unless patrolling with another Officer or doing station work.
Standard Patrolling
Standard patrol units are officers patrolling in marked vehicles. A normal day for a patrol officer can consist of issuing vehicle citations for parking illegally, initiating traffic stops on reckless drivers or citizens possibly evading their debt, citating people for reckless driving or minor offenses not including arrests, and arresting criminals that break the law. Standard Marked Units may only go by the book to prevent any corruption or doing their job incorrectly. A Standard Patrol Unit's rank varies as it could be a standard patrol Officer, Corporal, Supervisor, or even Watch Commander. You can find more about the day in the life of an Officer down lower in the habdook, providing exact instructions on what to do during any encounters.
Traffic Stops
When pulling someone over for a normal traffic stop, you should 100 percent of the time warn the driver over your megaphone to avoid any misunderstandings. When the subject pulls over, you should always warn them to turn their engine off, giving you a bit of an extra advantage if they run off. Once they completely pull over and follow both orders, you mustn't refuse to request an extra unit, ranging from another Standard Marked Patrol Unit to Watch Commander to arrive on scene for backup. We advise you to do this so if the subject evades, the secondary unit in the traffic stop can immediately go after the suspect. Read 'Pursuits' down below to learn more about the process of conducting any pursuit. After the secondary unit arrives, you should exit the vehicle, walk up to the drivers window, checking to see if the WINDOWS are down (( /do Window Status? )) and checking for any clear-sight illegal items in the vehicle. You mustn't refuse to tell the subject why you are pulling them over. Start off with an introduction, ie. "Hello, I am Officer Doe from the Los Santos Police. I pulled you over today for driving erratically." Once said, wait for the subject to say anything. If nothing said, ask for their license and proof of vehicle ownership. If the vehicles registration doesn't match license provided, you shouldn't hesitate to call the owner, verifying if the subject is given permission to drive this vehicle. Once the license and registration is given, you must go back to your cruiser and check the current records of the driver and check their license status. Once done, log out of the MDC and either give the driver a warning and give their license and registration back, or give them their license and registration back, prior to that, giving them a citation.
Issuing Citations
When in mid-traffic stop and you wish to give the driver a fine for what you pulled them over for, you must fill out the ticket in this order: (( /ticket )), 'Subject Name' (( ID )), followed by the 'Fine Amount', then lastly the 'reason'. All ticket books are attached to a stand on your cruisers dashboard. One done filling it out, rip off the citation at the crease, place the ticket book back onto the stand, and give it to the driver. Once the ticket is taken by them, that is when you may give them their license and registration back to reduce the chance of forgetting the suspects name if they evade once given the ticket or refusing to accept the citation.
High-Risk Traffic Stops
When a vehicle is pulled over for being wanted or committing a crime and not charged yet, you must pull over the vehicle, place your vehicle at a 45 degree angle so the nose is facing outwards, protecting you. Do not exit the vehicle. Once that is done, request 3 to 4 additional units to respond. They shall do the same arrangement of their vehicle. Once done, all units will exit the vehicle, aiming either a Desert Eagle or an M4A1 depending on the severity of the crime. The driver initiating the High-Risk traffic stop a.k.a. the vehicle behind the suspect, must use their megaphone to: 1. Ask the driver and any other suspects to exit the vehicle with their hands up, not facing the Officer's direction, 2. Asking the suspect(s) to back up still with their hands up, 3. Once at mid-point from the driver's DOOR and the cruiser, ask the suspect(s) to stop. After the suspect is at mid point, the primary unit shall cuff the closest suspect, if any other suspects, the secondary takes the next closest, the thirdary takes the next closest, etc. (( Make sure you roleplay taking out your cuffs and placing them on. Ask over /do if they decide to resist the cuffs or not )).
Pursuits
In an attempted traffic stop and the suspect evades, a pursuit is then initiated. The primary unit a.k.a. the closest cruiser to the suspects vehicle must callout in dispatch, "UNIT-XX-### (( Replace XX with your division (FT, GD, etc.), and ### with your badge number within that division )), I got a 10-80 on a vehicle color vehicle name, occupied times how many suspects in vehicle. We're going to be heading direction at closest landmark on road on street name in neighborhood. Requesting immediate assistance." Once stated, the primary unit must keep updating their location as it changes. When in a pursuit, do not attempt to overtake any units, stay in a line and stay in formation. We ask you to do this to prevent any collisions with the suspect. When a pursuit has been initiated for officially 2 minutes and there is a primary, secondary, and thirdary unit on the scene, in formation, the primary unit may attempt to PIT the vehicle (( lag slam preferably )). If the suspect's vehicle flips or disables and the suspect(s) run out of the vehicle, shout for them to place their hands up and stop. If they continue to evade, you may either taze them if you are not the required rank, or beanbag them if the suspect is slow and you are a Sergeant. If the suspect dies in the collision from the vehicle disabling, an officer must take a DNA sample, and immediately start adding charges on the suspect. At this point, if the name is known, officers can track the suspect to find the location of the hospital of where they're behind held. At this point, the stop and hands up procedure will repeat.
Arresting & Detaining Suspects
When detaining a suspect to bring them to a station and arrest them, they must be in one of the back seats. Detaining in a two door vehicle or motorcycle is strictly prohibited. At this point when the suspect is due to be detained, the suspect must be cuffed and restrained. Suspects may not be unrestrained without consent of a Sergeant or higher. Officers may override the decision by a Sergeant if they believe the suspect is not trustworthy. At the point when an Officer is driving the suspect to a station of their choice, they must ask for their name and date of birth. Requesting the date of birth is not required. When at the cells or the green door, leading down to the cells in the no parking zone, you may fingerprint scan the suspect to tell if the suspect lied about their identification provided. Once done, you must turn off the fingerprint scanner, take out a pair of white gloves provided in your back PANTS pocket, and attempt to frisk the suspect for any illegal goods consisting of weapons, narcotics, etc. (( Must ask for any resistance over /do )). When that is complete, if the suspect is found with any illegal narcotics or weapons, you may attempt to take them. (( Ask for the location of the illegal narcotics/weapons over /do, followed by a /do asking for any resistance on taking them, once replied to the location. )) At this point, you may start to fill out the arrest report (( /arrest command )). Providing your badge number is required, not your full name. Bail is strictly prohibited for prisoners. (( place two zero's after the minutes, ie: /arrest 500 10 0 0 )). If a bail is placed, you will first be striked, then suspended if repeated. Once a suspect is brought down into the cells by two big security guards, you must call in over the radio (( /r )) that you are resuming 10-8, and the 10-15 is now in jail. After that, you may resume your duties.
Dispatch Priority
In dispatch, there are three settings for priority. These three settings are called relaxed, priority, and RTO. RTO stands for radio transmission only. If the setting is on 'relaxed', then chatter over the dispatch radio is not prohibited (( IC or OOC )). When a call is called out over dispatch, the setting of dispatch is automatically set into priority without warning, strictly refusing any free chat over the updater of the call. If the dispatch setting is on 'priority', then chat in the dispatch radio should be minor (( IC )). When a call is called out over dispatch, just like the relaxed, the setting is automatically set into RTO meaning radio transmission only without warning. When the dispatch setting is on 'RTO', otherwise known as 'radio transmission only', dispatch radio chat is strictly prohibited (( IC updates only )). The only time the dispatch radio should be used at this point is for requesting assistance of a brawl, high-risk traffic stop, or pursuit etc.. At this point, all traffic stops will remain over the secondary radio (( /r )). If anyone disrupts the priority of an updater, or breaks the rules of the current dispatch setting, depending on the severity they may be striked or suspended for 2 days. If it is severe enough that they are suspected once from it and it is repetitive, they will be discharged.
Going On/Off Duty
As a Cadet, going off duty is strictly prohibited. As a Cadet you must be either studying for your OIE, doing your training(s), going on MPS truck duty, or patrolling with another Officer. If a personnel has achieved the rank of Officer or higher, they must request to go off duty over the radio (( /r )) with a good, inexcusable reason. At this point, Sergeants or higher are only allowed to grant/deny permission to go off duty for an Officer or Corporal. If a Sergeant or higher is requesting to go off duty with a good, inexcusable reason, a Sergeant or higher may grant/deny their permission, disregarding their division/authority. You may not grant yourself to go off duty. If a higher rank overrides the decision of a Sergeant granting or denying the permission to go off duty, they may do so. All off duty requests may only last for exactly an hour. This rule is strictly enforced. If the off duty officer does not come back to the station to go back on duty exactly after an hour or after, they will be given a suspension lasting 3 days for disrespecting high commands orders and going on extended off duty without permission. Requesting for any additional off duty hours 4 hours after the last time you went off duty, will get your permission to go off duty revoked for 24 hours. Note to all Sergeants+: There should only be one person off-duty at most when 7 officers are on duty (( not afk )). When 13 officers or more are on duty (( not afk )), then a total of two officers may be off duty at once.

Divisions
SAN ANDREAS POLICE DEPARTMENT
Field Training Operations
The Field Training Operations division is intentionally one of the most IMPORTANT divisions dealing with low ranked staff. Field Training members are responsible for reviewing applications (background checks, accepting/denying applications), training Cadets to make sure that they are qualified enough to become an Officer. To tell if a Cadet is qualified to become an Officer, Field Training staff measure their Cadets knowledge by giving them a test. This test is named OIE (Officer Introductory Exam). Not only Cadets can be trained, any Officer whether reinstated, transferred, or recently promoted can request a Field Training officer to give them a specific training to make sure their knowledge of the department is completely up to date.
Traffic Enforcement
The Traffic Enforcement division are highly trained drivers, giving them permission to drive fast vehicles to assist in pursuits with muscle and sport vehicles that may have a faster speed than a standard LSPD cruiser. Traffic Enforcement members are members of the department that undergo multiple trainings to be able to maneuver fast vehicles to their best capability. Traffic Enforcement staff are also responsible for enforcing safe driving to the fullest, attempting to save you money from having to pay for vehicle damages.
General Duties
All members not assigned to a division or are not busy doing divisional work are required to go on General Duties patrol. A General Duties patrol consists of checking different areas of Los Santos to make sure crime is not being committed, giving citations illegally parked vehicles, initiating traffic stops on reckless drivers and wanted suspects, issuing citations to reckless drivings, and arresting wanted suspects and suspects breaking the law. Unlike the other divisions, instead of a Lieutenant leading and supervising a division, a two Sergeants co-lead the division, enforcing all the basic rules of patrolling and maintaining safety in Los Santos.
Internal Affairs
The Internal Affairs division is intentionally another one of the most IMPORTANT divisions dealing with staff members of the department. When a High Command doesn't see it, they do. Internal Affairs agents oversee all members of the department, making sure that what was trained by a Field Training Officer to them matches with Officers acts. Internal Affairs agents have the right to request to have a strike against an officer, or request to have a officer suspended for misbehaving. The only rules enforced by Internal Affairs are provided in the Code of Conduct, found on the bulletin board, and making sure the force matrix is completely followed and enforced. Internal Affairs is a division that requires all members of such division to be highly trained, mature, and responsible enough for the division.
Special Weapons & Tactics
The SWAT division are highly trained members of the department, assisting in high-risk situations. SWAT members are given permission to use heavy-weaponry to have an easier defeat in dangerous situations such as kidnaps, and most wanted suspects. SWAT members will undergo constant training to be able to move quick, have a rapid response and be completely professional in all situations requiring them when they are not on standard patrol. This division requires maximum confidence in situations, teamwork and a lot of effort.

RTO Standards
In the Los Santos Police Department, Officer's follow a protocol whilst being connected to the LSPD's Dispatch Frequency (( dispatch channel on teamspeak )). From time to time, you might see RTO: Passive, RTO: Mild, or RTO: Aggressive. Both the (1) the current members online, (2) the crime rate can depend on whether the RTO's status is set specifically or not. If you do not know already, RTO stands for Radio Transmission Only.
RTO Aggressive: is also known as strict RTO (( in teamspeak )). Whilst set on 'aggressive', members in dispatch can only strictly update the situation on pursuits, traffic stops, or other emergency situations. All other conversing must be dealt with over the secondary radio (( /r )). If an Officer is updating, you are expected to be completely quiet.
RTO Mild: is also between passive and strict RTO (( in teamspeak )). Whilst set on 'mild', members in dispatch may speak freely (( ICly )) until an emergency situation is to be conversed or updated. All other conversing must be dealt with over the thirdary (( ooc )) radio (( /pr )). If an Officer is updating, you are expected to be completely quiet
RTO Passive: is also known as light RTO (( in teamspeak )). Whilst set on 'passive', members in dispatch may speak freely (( IC and OOC )) until an emergency situation is to be conversed or updated. All other conversing must be dealt with over the secondary (( /r )) or thirdary (( /pr )) radio. Even though the RTO is set to light, if an officer is updating, you are expected to be as quite as you can to hear all updates clearly.

Daily Encounters
SAN ANDREAS POLICE DEPARTMENT
Metropolitan Services
Metropolitan Service Units tend to be Cadets. What MPS units do, is tow vehicles that consist of $2,000 worth of fines or over. Once a vehicle is towed by the driver, they will bring it to the impound garage at LSPD, then immediately transferred to the Dillimore DMV, where the vehicle owner can pay their fines due to the vehicle. MPS truck drivers are only allowed to give vehicles fines if they are illegally parked. Illegally parked vehicles consist of parked in the middle of the street, parked in a no parking zone, or not parked with two of the vehicles tires parked on the road, the other two on the sidewalk. As a Cadet, this is their primary job to do unless patrolling with another Officer or doing station work.
Standard Patrolling
Standard patrol units are officers patrolling in marked vehicles. A normal day for a patrol officer can consist of issuing vehicle citations for parking illegally, initiating traffic stops on reckless drivers or citizens possibly evading their debt, citating people for reckless driving or minor offenses not including arrests, and arresting criminals that break the law. Standard Marked Units may only go by the book to prevent any corruption or doing their job incorrectly. A Standard Patrol Unit's rank varies as it could be a standard patrol Officer, Corporal, Supervisor, or even Watch Commander. You can find more about the day in the life of an Officer down lower in the habdook, providing exact instructions on what to do during any encounters.
Traffic Stops
When pulling someone over for a normal traffic stop, you should 100 percent of the time warn the driver over your megaphone to avoid any misunderstandings. When the subject pulls over, you should always warn them to turn their engine off, giving you a bit of an extra advantage if they run off. Once they completely pull over and follow both orders, you mustn't refuse to request an extra unit, ranging from another Standard Marked Patrol Unit to Watch Commander to arrive on scene for backup. We advise you to do this so if the subject evades, the secondary unit in the traffic stop can immediately go after the suspect. Read 'Pursuits' down below to learn more about the process of conducting any pursuit. After the secondary unit arrives, you should exit the vehicle, walk up to the drivers window, checking to see if the WINDOWS are down (( /do Window Status? )) and checking for any clear-sight illegal items in the vehicle. You mustn't refuse to tell the subject why you are pulling them over. Start off with an introduction, ie. "Hello, I am Officer Doe from the Los Santos Police. I pulled you over today for driving erratically." Once said, wait for the subject to say anything. If nothing said, ask for their license and proof of vehicle ownership. If the vehicles registration doesn't match license provided, you shouldn't hesitate to call the owner, verifying if the subject is given permission to drive this vehicle. Once the license and registration is given, you must go back to your cruiser and check the current records of the driver and check their license status. Once done, log out of the MDC and either give the driver a warning and give their license and registration back, or give them their license and registration back, prior to that, giving them a citation.
Issuing Citations
When in mid-traffic stop and you wish to give the driver a fine for what you pulled them over for, you must fill out the ticket in this order: (( /ticket )), 'Subject Name' (( ID )), followed by the 'Fine Amount', then lastly the 'reason'. All ticket books are attached to a stand on your cruisers dashboard. One done filling it out, rip off the citation at the crease, place the ticket book back onto the stand, and give it to the driver. Once the ticket is taken by them, that is when you may give them their license and registration back to reduce the chance of forgetting the suspects name if they evade once given the ticket or refusing to accept the citation.
High-Risk Traffic Stops
When a vehicle is pulled over for being wanted or committing a crime and not charged yet, you must pull over the vehicle, place your vehicle at a 45 degree angle so the nose is facing outwards, protecting you. Do not exit the vehicle. Once that is done, request 3 to 4 additional units to respond. They shall do the same arrangement of their vehicle. Once done, all units will exit the vehicle, aiming either a Desert Eagle or an M4A1 depending on the severity of the crime. The driver initiating the High-Risk traffic stop a.k.a. the vehicle behind the suspect, must use their megaphone to: 1. Ask the driver and any other suspects to exit the vehicle with their hands up, not facing the Officer's direction, 2. Asking the suspect(s) to back up still with their hands up, 3. Once at mid-point from the driver's DOOR and the cruiser, ask the suspect(s) to stop. After the suspect is at mid point, the primary unit shall cuff the closest suspect, if any other suspects, the secondary takes the next closest, the thirdary takes the next closest, etc. (( Make sure you roleplay taking out your cuffs and placing them on. Ask over /do if they decide to resist the cuffs or not )).
Pursuits
In an attempted traffic stop and the suspect evades, a pursuit is then initiated. The primary unit a.k.a. the closest cruiser to the suspects vehicle must callout in dispatch, "UNIT-XX-### (( Replace XX with your division (FT, GD, etc.), and ### with your badge number within that division )), I got a 10-80 on a vehicle color vehicle name, occupied times how many suspects in vehicle. We're going to be heading direction at closest landmark on road on street name in neighborhood. Requesting immediate assistance." Once stated, the primary unit must keep updating their location as it changes. When in a pursuit, do not attempt to overtake any units, stay in a line and stay in formation. We ask you to do this to prevent any collisions with the suspect. When a pursuit has been initiated for officially 2 minutes and there is a primary, secondary, and thirdary unit on the scene, in formation, the primary unit may attempt to PIT the vehicle (( lag slam preferably )). If the suspect's vehicle flips or disables and the suspect(s) run out of the vehicle, shout for them to place their hands up and stop. If they continue to evade, you may either taze them if you are not the required rank, or beanbag them if the suspect is slow and you are a Sergeant. If the suspect dies in the collision from the vehicle disabling, an officer must take a DNA sample, and immediately start adding charges on the suspect. At this point, if the name is known, officers can track the suspect to find the location of the hospital of where they're behind held. At this point, the stop and hands up procedure will repeat.
Arresting & Detaining Suspects
When detaining a suspect to bring them to a station and arrest them, they must be in one of the back seats. Detaining in a two door vehicle or motorcycle is strictly prohibited. At this point when the suspect is due to be detained, the suspect must be cuffed and restrained. Suspects may not be unrestrained without consent of a Sergeant or higher. Officers may override the decision by a Sergeant if they believe the suspect is not trustworthy. At the point when an Officer is driving the suspect to a station of their choice, they must ask for their name and date of birth. Requesting the date of birth is not required. When at the cells or the green door, leading down to the cells in the no parking zone, you may fingerprint scan the suspect to tell if the suspect lied about their identification provided. Once done, you must turn off the fingerprint scanner, take out a pair of white gloves provided in your back PANTS pocket, and attempt to frisk the suspect for any illegal goods consisting of weapons, narcotics, etc. (( Must ask for any resistance over /do )). When that is complete, if the suspect is found with any illegal narcotics or weapons, you may attempt to take them. (( Ask for the location of the illegal narcotics/weapons over /do, followed by a /do asking for any resistance on taking them, once replied to the location. )) At this point, you may start to fill out the arrest report (( /arrest command )). Providing your badge number is required, not your full name. Bail is strictly prohibited for prisoners. (( place two zero's after the minutes, ie: /arrest 500 10 0 0 )). If a bail is placed, you will first be striked, then suspended if repeated. Once a suspect is brought down into the cells by two big security guards, you must call in over the radio (( /r )) that you are resuming 10-8, and the 10-15 is now in jail. After that, you may resume your duties.
Dispatch Priority
In dispatch, there are three settings for priority. These three settings are called relaxed, priority, and RTO. RTO stands for radio transmission only. If the setting is on 'relaxed', then chatter over the dispatch radio is not prohibited (( IC or OOC )). When a call is called out over dispatch, the setting of dispatch is automatically set into priority without warning, strictly refusing any free chat over the updater of the call. If the dispatch setting is on 'priority', then chat in the dispatch radio should be minor (( IC )). When a call is called out over dispatch, just like the relaxed, the setting is automatically set into RTO meaning radio transmission only without warning. When the dispatch setting is on 'RTO', otherwise known as 'radio transmission only', dispatch radio chat is strictly prohibited (( IC updates only )). The only time the dispatch radio should be used at this point is for requesting assistance of a brawl, high-risk traffic stop, or pursuit etc.. At this point, all traffic stops will remain over the secondary radio (( /r )). If anyone disrupts the priority of an updater, or breaks the rules of the current dispatch setting, depending on the severity they may be striked or suspended for 2 days. If it is severe enough that they are suspected once from it and it is repetitive, they will be discharged.
Going On/Off Duty
As a Cadet, going off duty is strictly prohibited. As a Cadet you must be either studying for your OIE, doing your training(s), going on MPS truck duty, or patrolling with another Officer. If a personnel has achieved the rank of Officer or higher, they must request to go off duty over the radio (( /r )) with a good, inexcusable reason. At this point, Sergeants or higher are only allowed to grant/deny permission to go off duty for an Officer or Corporal. If a Sergeant or higher is requesting to go off duty with a good, inexcusable reason, a Sergeant or higher may grant/deny their permission, disregarding their division/authority. You may not grant yourself to go off duty. If a higher rank overrides the decision of a Sergeant granting or denying the permission to go off duty, they may do so. All off duty requests may only last for exactly an hour. This rule is strictly enforced. If the off duty officer does not come back to the station to go back on duty exactly after an hour or after, they will be given a suspension lasting 3 days for disrespecting high commands orders and going on extended off duty without permission. Requesting for any additional off duty hours 4 hours after the last time you went off duty, will get your permission to go off duty revoked for 24 hours. Note to all Sergeants+: There should only be one person off-duty at most when 7 officers are on duty (( not afk )). When 13 officers or more are on duty (( not afk )), then a total of two officers may be off duty at once. Oh, and just to be sure you read all of this, and the end of your application where you create a biography, please include your favorite flavor of ice cream somewhere in the story.
Divisions
SAN ANDREAS POLICE DEPARTMENT
Field Training Operations
The Field Training Operations division is intentionally one of the most IMPORTANT divisions dealing with low ranked staff. Field Training members are responsible for reviewing applications (background checks, accepting/denying applications), training Cadets to make sure that they are qualified enough to become an Officer. To tell if a Cadet is qualified to become an Officer, Field Training staff measure their Cadets knowledge by giving them a test. This test is named OIE (Officer Introductory Exam). Not only Cadets can be trained, any Officer whether reinstated, transferred, or recently promoted can request a Field Training officer to give them a specific training to make sure their knowledge of the department is completely up to date.
Traffic Enforcement
The Traffic Enforcement division are highly trained drivers, giving them permission to drive fast vehicles to assist in pursuits with muscle and sport vehicles that may have a faster speed than a standard LSPD cruiser. Traffic Enforcement members are members of the department that undergo multiple trainings to be able to maneuver fast vehicles to their best capability. Traffic Enforcement staff are also responsible for enforcing safe driving to the fullest, attempting to save you money from having to pay for vehicle damages.
General Duties
All members not assigned to a division or are not busy doing divisional work are required to go on General Duties patrol. A General Duties patrol consists of checking different areas of Los Santos to make sure crime is not being committed, giving citations illegally parked vehicles, initiating traffic stops on reckless drivers and wanted suspects, issuing citations to reckless drivings, and arresting wanted suspects and suspects breaking the law. Unlike the other divisions, instead of a Lieutenant leading and supervising a division, a two Sergeants co-lead the division, enforcing all the basic rules of patrolling and maintaining safety in Los Santos.
Internal Affairs
The Internal Affairs division is intentionally another one of the most IMPORTANT divisions dealing with staff members of the department. When a High Command doesn't see it, they do. Internal Affairs agents oversee all members of the department, making sure that what was trained by a Field Training Officer to them matches with Officers acts. Internal Affairs agents have the right to request to have a strike against an officer, or request to have a officer suspended for misbehaving. The only rules enforced by Internal Affairs are provided in the Code of Conduct, found on the bulletin board, and making sure the force matrix is completely followed and enforced. Internal Affairs is a division that requires all members of such division to be highly trained, mature, and responsible enough for the division.
Special Weapons & Tactics
The SWAT division are highly trained members of the department, assisting in high-risk situations. SWAT members are given permission to use heavy-weaponry to have an easier defeat in dangerous situations such as kidnaps, and most wanted suspects. SWAT members will undergo constant training to be able to move quick, have a rapid response and be completely professional in all situations requiring them when they are not on standard patrol. This division requires maximum confidence in situations, teamwork and a lot of effort.
