![]() ![]() ![]() If this ambient event occurs near a police station, other officers in a vehicle and on-foot will find a way to join the pursuit (unless the event goes out of range). NOOSE in a Police Maverick can also spawn in these events. One police vehicle can be encountered chasing NPCs (ranging from 2–4 NPCs) until they come to a complete stop. Occasionally, an ambient chase will occur randomly throughout San Andreas. Once they pass the intersection, they will switch the sirens back to the usual "wail" tone. They are, however, shown to follow at least one realistic procedure: if their lights and sirens are on, and they approach an intersection, they will slow down (unless close to suspect's vehicle) and switch their siren to the "phaser" tone at the intersection. Their actions include, but are not limited to, severely damaging their own cars during pursuits, driving recklessly at full speed, standing still in the open while being shot at, shooting at armored and/or heavily armed vehicles with their mostly-inferior weapons, not calling for backup when overwhelmed by groups of suspects, driving over clearly visible spike strips and blowing out their own tires, taking cover behind or standing near a vehicle which is on fire and about to explode, shooting at oncoming vehicles, setting up roadblocks on the wrong side of the highway, rushing into areas that are obviously being watched and guarded by armed suspects, hitting other officers with their cars and sometimes killing them as a result, blindly charging a heavily armed suspect with no regard for their own life, completely ignoring orders to stay in formation or retreat, and firing their guns in a dark area which causes the muzzle flash to give away their position. This results in the LSPD appearing to be extremely incompetent and dim-witted. LSPD officers are often too aggressive for their own good, letting their aggression take charge instead of common sense. However, despite these, it is implied by the LSPD pilot in Eye in the Sky that there are actually good, non-corrupt officers in the LSPD. It is implied that the LSPD is heavily corrupt and systematically racist, and that they also hire and have sex with prostitutes, although this cannot be seen in-game. LSPD officers are shown to be very aggressive and violent, with police brutality being very common, such as an officer shown pressing his baton against a suspect's neck in the lobby of the Mission Row Police Station during the mission Eye in the Sky. In other areas of Los Santos however, it is rare to find an occupied patrol car unless it is in pursuit of an NPC driver. In Downtown Los Santos, foot patrols of two officers can be found within a two-block radius of the Mission Row Police Station, often interacting with the homeless that frequent the area. Arrow stations also usually have an officer or two, particularly the underground ones. The only sure ways to find LSPD officers are at LSIA, directly outside police stations, during pursuits of Street Criminals, or by dialing 911 in the in-game phone for the Police. They also have jurisdiction over Los Santos International Airport and the Port of Los Santos, despite their real-life counterparts having their own police departments ( Los Angeles International Airport having the Los Angeles Airport Police and the Port of Los Angeles having the Los Angeles Port Police respectively). This includes Del Perro, Davis, and Rockford Hills, despite those being different cities, though they may have contracted the LSPD for policing. The LSPD has jurisdiction over the entirety of Los Santos. For them, there are only two character models: black and white, and each of them has their own voices. Grand Theft Auto V is the first game in the series to also feature female officers however, they are very rare. While the black and white character model have dedicated voices (each having six voices), the Hispanic character model will have a random NPC voice (sometimes using a female NPC voice). Being a large police force, the LSPD appears to be well-funded and equipped, although unlike previous games, LSPD officers and cars very rarely appear on the streets of Los Santos.įor male officers, there are three character models: black, white, and Hispanic, but their facial features differ. ![]() According to the badges on officers, the LSPD was established in 1889, nearly a hundred years after Los Santos was founded. ![]()
