Part 1:
Vehicles, Firearms, LSPD Job Information.
1. Reverence for the Law
The main thrust of a peace officer’s duties consists of an attempt to enforce the law. In our application of the law, we must do it within a legal spirit which was so clearly set forth by the framers of the Bill of Rights, an original part of our Constitution. That bill had as its purpose elevating the rights of each citizen to a position co-equal with the state which might accuse him. Its purpose was to provide for an enforcement of the law with fundamental fairness and equity. Because of the Bill of Rights, the dignity of the individual person in America was placed in an almost sacred position of importance.
A peace officer’s enforcement should not be done in grudging adherence to the legal rights of the accused, but in a sincere spirit of seeking that every accused person is given all of his rights as far as it is within the powers of the police.
In the discharge of our enforcement of criminal statutes, the peace officer must scrupulously avoid any conduct which would make him a violator of the law. The solution of a crime, or the arrest of a lawbreaker, can never justify the peace officer committing a felony as an expedient for the enforcement of the law.
We peace officers should do our utmost to foster a reverence for the law. We can start best by displaying a reverence for the legal rights of our fellow citizens and a reverence for the law itself.
2. Crime Prevention Top Priority
The basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder as an alternative to repression by military force and severity of legal punishment. When the police fail to prevent crime, it becomes important to apprehend the person responsible for the crime and gather all evidence that might be used in a subsequent trial.
3. Public Approbation of Police
The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval of police existence, actions, behavior, and the ability of the police to secure and maintain public respect.
4. Voluntary Law Observance
The police must secure the willing cooperation of the public in voluntary observance of the law in order to be able to secure and maintain the respect and approval of the public.
5. Public Cooperation
The degree of public cooperation that can be secured diminishes, proportionately, the necessity for the use of physical force and compulsion in achieving police objectives.
6. Impartial Friendly Enforcement
The police seek and preserve public favor, not by catering to public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to the law without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance of individual laws; by readily offering individual service and friendship to all members of society without regard to their race or social standing; by the ready exercise of courtesy and friendly good humor; and by readily offering individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life.
7. Minimum Use of Force
The police should use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order when the exercise of persuasion, advice, and warning is found to be insufficient to achieve police objectives; and police should use only the reasonable amount of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for achieving a police objective.
8. Public Are the Police
The police at all times should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police; the police are the only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interest of community welfare.
9. Limit of Police Power
The police should always direct their actions strictly toward their functions and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary by avenging individuals or the state, or authoritatively judging guilt or punishing the guilty.
10. Test of Police Effectiveness
The test of police effectiveness is the absence of crime and the presence of public order. It is not the evidence of police action in dealing with crime and disorder.
11. People Working with Police
The task of crime prevention cannot be accomplished by the police alone. This task necessarily requires the willing cooperation of both the police and the public working together toward a common goal.
12. People Working with People
Since the police cannot be expected to be on every residential or business block, every hour of the day, a process must be developed whereby each person becomes concerned with the welfare and safety of his neighborhood. When people are working with other people in their neighborhood, they can effectively reduce crime.
13. Managers Working with Police
Only line police officers perform the tasks for which police were created. They are the operating professionals. Supervisors and managers exist to define problems, to establish objectives, and to assist line police officers in the accomplishment of the police mission.
The evaluation of a manager should be based on the improvement and excellence of his subordinates in the achievement of organizational goals. The life’s blood of good management is a thoroughly systematic, two-way circulation of information, feelings, and perceptions throughout the organization.
14. Police Working with Police
For many reasons, some specialization of work is necessary. Specialization should be created only when vitally necessary. When specialization is created, organization should be adjusted to ensure that the specialists and generalists who serve the same citizens work closely together on the common problems in as informal an organizational structure as possible. This will tend to ensure a unity of effort, resources, and the effective service to a common goal.
15. Police Working with Criminal Justice System
It must be recognized that the police and the people alone cannot successfully resolve the problems of crime. The criminal justice system as a whole, in order to properly serve the public, must operate as a total system with all of its various elements working together. The close cooperation of the police with prosecutors, courts, and correctional officers is necessary in order to ensure the development of a safer community.
16. Police/Press Relationships
One of the first and most fundamental considerations of this nation’s founders in drafting the Bill of Rights was to provide for a free press as an essential element of the First Amendment to the Constitution. They recognized that a well-informed citizenry is vital to the effective functioning of a democracy. Police operations profoundly affect the public and therefore arouse substantial public interest. Likewise, public interest and public cooperation bear significantly on the successful accomplishment of any police mission. The police should make every reasonable effort to serve the needs of the media in informing the public about crime and other police problems. This should be done with an attitude of openness and frankness whenever possible. The media should have access to personnel, at the lowest level in a Department, who are fully informed about the subject of a press inquiry. The media should be told all that can be told that will not impinge on a person’s right to a fair trail, seriously impede a criminal investigation, imperil a human life, or seriously endanger the security of the people. In such cases, the minimum information should be given which will not impinge on the four areas and we should merely state that nothing more can be said.
In all other matters in our relationship with the media in dealing with current news, every member of the Department should make every reasonable effort consistent with accomplishing the police task in providing the media representatives with full and accurate material.
17. Management by Objectives
In order to effectively deal with the most important problems, objectives must be established. The establishment of objectives and the means used to ensure that they are reached must include the participation of those involved in the task. The setting of an objective has very little meaning without the participation of those involved.
18. Management by Participation
Since employees are greatly influenced by decisions that are made and objectives that are established, it is important for them to be able to provide input into the methods utilized to reach these decisions. Employees should be encouraged to make recommendations which might lead to an improvement in the delivery of police services and assist in the furtherance of the Department meeting its objective.
19. Territorial Imperative
Police work is one of the most personal of all personal services. It deals with human beings in life and death situations. The police officers and the people they serve must be as close as possible, and where possible must know one another. Such closeness can generate the police-citizen cooperation necessary for the involvement of the whole community in community protection. Organization of assignments should ensure that the police and the same citizens have an opportunity to continuously work for the protection of a specific community. Strength through interacting together and working together on common problems can be enhanced through officers and the people feeling at home with one another in an atmosphere of mutual cooperation. This may be described as a utilization of the "Territorial Imperative."
20. Openness and Honesty
For police-public cooperation, there must be respect of the police by the public. This is best ensured by optimum openness of the Department in its operations. A general feeling and reality of openness must pervade the police organization. Above all, the police officer must be consistently open, honest, and trustful in all matters. A combination of honesty and openness will effectively develop respect in the community for the police and make it possible for citizens to come to them with problems and information. Where this trust does not exist because of a lack of honesty or openness, the channels of communication between the police and the public are clogged and the police must desperately struggle on alone.

II. Duties and General Enforcement
II. A. Jurisdiction Lines
The Los Santos Police Department is a local wide law enforcement agency that makes sure that the entire unity of Los Santos is protected and served under the United States Constitution. However, there is a state police department nearby known as the San Andreas State Police Department. With them being where they are, the Los Santos Police Department has a tendency to stay away from the borders of Los Santos.
With that being said, the Los Santos Police Departments' jurisdiction lines range from any area within the local area of San Andreas staying in the Los Santos area only. All other boundaries such as Red County, San Fierro and Las Venturas are off limits to the department except for the FBI and SASD. Officers may enter their jurisdiction with permission and if they are responding to emergency calls.

Part 3
Chief
-> The Chief of the Los Santos Police Department is the senior most and highest rank within the force. He is the sole leader of the entire agency and keeps everything in perfect order. He has the power to hire, demote, fire, and suspend anyone he chooses as well as make new rules, units, divisions, and assign different division leaders to run certain units. He should be recognized and spoken to with a great amount of respect at all times.
Deputy Chief
-> The Assistant Chiefs is the second in command of the entire department. The people who attain the rank of Assistant Chief are the right hand men and women of the Chief. They make sure everything is ran in proper order and maintain a good name for the Chief. They have more or less the same powers as the Chief, except they don't have the power to add or remove divisions without the approval of the Chief. Again, these are people who need to be treated with greats amount of respect.
Captain
-> The Captains of the Los Santos Police Department are the division leaders. They are the third in command of the department and run special divisions. The divisions are as followed:
~ Training & Recruitment
~ Special Weapons and Tactics
~ Internal Affairs Bureau
~ Patrol Division
The men and women who attain this rank are the highlight of each division. They have the power to hire and suspend anyone from the rank Cadet to Officer if needed. They are allowed to demote people with permission from a higher command. Anything else needs to be taken up with the higher command at all times. They are able to hire people into their division and also remove people from their division. They must keep a high quality status of their division at all times to stay at that rank. It's a well earned and trusted position.
Sergeant
-> The Sergeants of the Los Santos Police Department are normally the fourth in command of the department. They're also the second in command of divisions that are led by the Captains These men and women are very familiar with how the police department works and are chosen by the Captains to work side by side with them to keep their division afloat. They are the right hand men to the Captain's and follow their ever order. These people have the power to hire (Training & Recruitment FTOs) and suspend certain members with the approval of a Captain.
Corporal
-> The Corporals of the Los Santos Police Department are the next step from the rank Officer. These are the trusted members of the LSPD who have performed very well in terms of patrolling and are finally stepping up to become a new rank in the force. These members are the fifth in command of the department and may be the third in command of the divisions under the Sergeants and Captains. There are very fewer Corporals than Officers because the force needs a good background of Officers.
Officer
-> The Officers of the Los Santos Police Department are the back bone of the entire department. They probably do some of the most heavy and most needed work in the force. They're the men and women out there day after day working in patrol vehicles and doing the beat constantly around Los Santos. Their constant job is to work and patrol with the Cadets to train them to become a Officer some day and do basic patrol with a vehicle to enforce the traffic and normal based laws of Los Santos.
Cadet
-> The Cadets of the Los Santos Police Department are the members at the bottom of the food chain. They're the newly accepted members of the force who are still undergoing greats amount of training. In order for them to become a Officer, they must do 1-2 weeks of service and then taker a Cadet-to-Officer exam at the end with surrounds all the basic information they should know in the LSPD to move on. The Cadets are to patrol with a Officer or above at all times. Remember there are a limited amount of weapons they can carry, and are to be watched 24/7 by the members around them.

V. Standard Ordinances
V. A. Miranda Act
The Miranda Act is a warning that is required to be given by police in the United States to criminal suspects in police custody (or in a custodial situation) before they are interrogated to inform them about their constitutional rights.
There are numerous versions of the Miranda Act but the most basic is as followed:
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say, can and will be used against you in the court of law.
You have the right to be appointed an attorney during any questioning.
However, if you can not afford one, an attorney will be provided for you at the governments expense.
Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?
If the Miranda Act is not read to someone whom has been detained or arrested, the arrest is considered invalid and will not be completed in a court of law. The subject may be released at once if the rights were not read.
V. B. Force Continuum
In lamest terms, the force continuum or the force matrix simply means the amount of equal force used upon a suspect whom is being arrest or secured. Please follow the list of examples that are given below.
Force Level 1
- Suspect may be verbally assaulting you or others
- Suspect starts to show aggression in his tone of speaking
- Suspect may be taunting you, or using foul language
Your Actions:
At this point in time you are not authorized to use any physical means of force at all. You may issue verbal warnings at this point in an attempt to calm down the suspect. No hands on or support equipment required.
Force Level 2
- Suspect has committed a crime
- Suspect is disobeying direct orders from a LEO
- Suspect is starting to hint at violent actions
- Suspect is starting to make aggressive movements with his body
- Suspect may seem to be preparing for a physical engagement
- Suspect is increasingly getting worse with his aggression in his tone against you, or others
- Suspect is showing disrespect against you or another person
Your Actions:
At this point in time you are not authorized to use any secondary equipment. Call for assistance using a Code 2 Backup request, and move to a hands on approach of trying to escort the person from the situation or away from potential victims using voice commands and light gestures. ((* Jesse Ventura gently pushes the man in the other direction)).
Force Level 3
- Suspect has committed a crime
- Suspect may be using physical contact against you or another person
- Suspect may be using a non lethal weapon on you or another person
- Suspect may be threatening your life or another persons life
- Suspect is actively involved in any physical fight
Your Actions:
At this time you are only allowed to only use a tazer, pepper spray or a nightstick to detain the suspect. You are to call in for code three backup from other Troopers at this time. Under no circumstances should you withdraw your firearm unless the situation reaches force level 4 for a serious assault or crime.
Force Level 4
- Suspect has done or is committing a felony crime
- Suspect is brandishing a firearm
- Suspect is assaulting another person with a vehicle
- Suspect has placed your life or another persons life in danger
- Suspect is seriously assaulting another person ((causing the person or you to be on low health))
Your Actions:
At this point and time we observe that the suspect is possibly threatening another human life. At this point and time you are allowed to upholster your firearm and take aim on the suspect. Under no means should you ever fire unless the force level reaches 5. Also you are NEVER to tazer any suspect that is actively discharging a firearm. Note: If you warn someone to put away/drop a firearm and they do not comply, after the fifth warning you are expected to use your own judgment on how to handle the situation.
Force Level 5
- Suspect has done or is committing a serious felony crime
-Suspect is in the act of seriously assaulting you or another person to near death
- Suspect has a firearm and is aiming at you or other civilians
- Suspect may be firing the firearm at you or other civilians
- Suspect may be in a car attempting to hit you or other civilians
- Suspect is fleeing in a vehicle after three warnings have been issued
- Suspect has a hostage
Your Actions:
At this point you are allowed to open fire at the suspect and shoot to kill. You are to do your best to avoid these situations but if they occur you are authorized to use deadly force. In regards to the suspect fleeing in a vehicle after you have gave him his ample supply of warnings your partner may shoot out his tires with approval. Once you hit one tire you should not be shooting anymore. You should radio in for code 3 assistance.
V. C. Internal Affairs Strikes
The whole point in the department having an Internal Affairs is to keep a written record of members within the department who commit a crime or break an certain rule of conduct. The strikes range from lowest to highest and also depend on if you stay or leave the department. Please read the list below to see what charges can be placed on a member and how many strikes they can earn for it. With choices comes consequences.

VI. Standard Procedures
VI. A. Arrest Procedure
Most, if not all ticket procedures begin when someone performs a traffic violation. This guide will go off that. Feel free to alter this procedure in any way to match the situation.
First thing you do when you notice a traffic violation is you turn on your sirens. This lets the person know your behind them. After that, announce your presence via megaphone. If they continue to drive, wait a few seconds (( 15-20 seconds )) and then warn them again. Wait one more time for 15-20 seconds. If they continue to drive, give them their third and final warning to pull over. If they still don't pull over in 15-20 seconds, you are allowed to hop to Force Matrix level 5.
Allow your passenger to shoot at the vehicle. Once two tires are popped, stop shooting. If possible, don't let the car blow up. It might save the lives of a few pedestrians. At this time, you may perform any PIT maneuvers as well.
Once the suspect is out of the car, get out of your car and chase him on foot. Once your within shooting range, taze him. If he shoots, use common sense and shoot back to protect yourself. Make sure he is cuffed after you manage to taze him.
Bring the car around and detain the suspect to the car and take him to the police station for processing.
Before starting any processing, read him his miranda rights. These should be read right after they are cuffed, but it is allowed to be said anytime before interrogation. Remember, interrogation is asking them questions against their will. If they are cuffed and are being asked their name, they are being interrogated. So remember the miranda rights.
Once he is safe in the garage, proceed to gather his name. This can go three ways. Either an ID, a name which is matched to a photo via MDC, or the finger-print scanner. Either method is acceptable in this case.
Once you have the name, frisk him for any illegal items. They do not need to consent to a frisk when they are being arrested. At any other time, they must be asked. If the suspect has weapons, take them, otherwise proceed to the next step.
Begin to add charges. Make sure they every crime they commit is a separate charge. Don't put multiple crimes on one charge. After they are charged up, take over to the arrest station and place them in the cells. After that, you are free to patrol once more.
VI. B. Ticket Procedure
Most, if not all ticket procedures begin when someone performs a traffic violation. This guide will go off that. You may alter the procedure anyway you like to to fit the situation. Memorize and learn this well.
First thing you must do when you notice a traffic violation is turn on your sirens. This lets the person know your behind them. After that, announce your presence using the megaphone. I will assume the person stopped after the first warning.
Once the person pulls over, you may tell them one of two things. Either "get out of the car with your hands up" or "turn off your engine and remain seated."
After they listen to your command, approach them with every weapon holstered. Make sure they are aware of why they got pulled over. If they don't know why they got pulled over then you are not allowed to ticket them. Establish your reason for the traffic stop prior to ticketing, always.
After they understand what they did, proceed to gather their name. There are two ways this can be confirmed. Either picture ID or by them tell you verbally and the name being matched to a picture via MDC. If they lie about their name, then proceed to the arrest procedure since they failed to comply. (( You MUST get a name to ticket. Don't meta-game or you will be fired. ))
After you gather the name, run a check over the MDC to see if they are wanted. (( RP it, but use /wanted for a list of wanted people. )) If they turn out to be wanted, arrest them, otherwise, hand them back their ID, if they gave you one.
Now ask them if they are able to pay the ticket. Tell them how much the ticket will be. If they can't pay the ticket, they will need to be arrested. If they say they can, then write up the ticket and hand it to them. Once they pay the ticket, they may go on their way.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 5:
VI. C. Detain Procedure
Whenever you have someone cuffed, it is necessary to detain to a vehicle to transport them. To do it RPly, you would detain them to the nearest seat to them once you parked the car. You would also detain in an empty seat. Here is a small diagram which should better help you understand which seat is where. Obviously you can't detain someone to the driver seat, so that is left blank.'
VI. D. Off Duty and On Duty Procedure
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.
