Protect and Serve

Introduction

This is the Official Handbook used by the Los Santos Police Department and contains information that is aimed towards our staff as a guide for common practice and code of conduct, and also as a reference for Aplicants and the public who wish to have knowledge about us.



To the Public


The Los Santos Police Department has an important mission to complete, that mission is to protect this city and make it a safer place for you and future gernations. With your best interests at heart and a strong disciplined police force, we will achieve this.



Protect and Serve

Calling for help or assisstance

If you are in the need for emergency
services you are able to contact both the LSPD and LSFMD by dialing 911 (( /call 911 )) and advise the dispatcher where you are and what is happening, and if required (and possible), a description of the suspect. We will attempt to respond to all 911 calls, however, if for some reason we do not report you may need to call again.


Encountering the Police


In the Los Santos Police Department we pride ourselves in being professional, fair, and helpful. If you are stopped by an officer of the LSPD, do not run, that will only cause trouble for yourself. Be compliant and respectful (refer to us as officer, sir, or ma'am) and you will be shown respect back.

Police may conduct routine searches for illegal items, generally speaking unless you are behaving suspiciously you will not be searched. However, again, compliance is always taken into consideration.



Officer Information


Firstly, and most importantly, when you spawn you must make sure you are on duty, have full armour and have an MP5. If not you should go to the locker room inside the station and get on duty (or reduty for armour) or buy your MP5 from the Armory. The command is /LSPD. If you don't want to lose any weapons (Rifle, M4A1, SPAS12, etcetera) you can ride a LSPD car and it will respawn back to your weapon slots.

Vehicle Information



LSPD Patrol Cruiser




The main vehicle of the LSPD. Able to be driven by any rank, Cadets not alone of course, it is the standard patrol car for all.



LVPD Patrol Car




Able to be driven by Sergeants and above, it has different handling and is better for off-road driving. Captains may give permission for you to drive this (Officer).



SAPD Rancher




Able to be driven by Sergeants and above, it is extremely capable of off-road driving and P.I.T. manuevering. Captains may give permission for you to drive this (Sr. Officer).



SAPD Motorbike




An excellent support vehicle, this motorbike is able to keep up with some of the faster cars, making chases a lot easier to keep an eye on via GPS beacon. Usable with permissions from Sergeants and above. Never use it with a passenger.



SWAT Tank




The SWAT Tank, often called "Mr Splashy" is a riot vehicle equipped with a water tank, hence the name, and also gets brought along for SWAT and blockades. Usable in situations with orders from Captains and above or SWAT Commanders.



SWAT Van




A strong vehicle that is able to move surprisingly fast despite its size. Easily keeping up with standard cars, it is great for P.I.T. manuevers. Should only be used in situations and trainings.



SAPD Enforcer




A heavy, but slow, vehicle. The Enforcer is used to transfer SWAT personnel. It may be used in situations only and is great for blockades if placed properly. Usable with permissions from Captains and above or SWAT Commanders.



SAPD Maverick





This helicopter is useful in pursuits to keep an eye on felons. Keeping up with fast vehicles easily, it is not able to stop them meaning it may only be used to give GPS co-ordinates to drop off passengers via parachute or emergency landing. Usable with permissions from Sergeants and above.



SAPD Predator





An extremely useful, but underused, boat. Used in water pursuits, of course, it is equipped with a set of machine guns and able to keep up with standard boats. It's not very useful against speedboats since it can't move as fast. Can be used for water pickups and to chase water-bound suspects without permission. Patrol with it is restricted for Senior Officers and above.

Miranda Rights


The Miranda Rights are an important part of the constitution. If a Police Officer were to forget to read the suspect his or her rights the suspect would be able to have all charges dropped and possibly be fired. Everytime a suspect is cuffed they must have their rights read to them, regardless of the location or situation you must read these rights each and every time.
Failure to do so will result in an infraction.


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 said them?

Refueling Vehicles

You must keep all Police vehicles fuel tanks with a minimum of 50% fuel at all times. If you get in a chase you must have enough fuel to finish the duration of that chase. If you are running low on fuel in a chase and you know you won't be able to keep up, make sure you inform us all and have your car refueled immediately.
Before going off duty you must return your car to the garage with a full tank.




Central Dispatch Radio

Being connected to the Radio (( Ventrilo )) while on duty is mandatory. If you are not connected while you are on duty you had better have a decent reason or you may receive Internal Affairs infraction strikes for it. When you are connected you should stay in the Main Radio Channel to be assigned to a Unit or you can assign yourself with somebody. When assigned, you must move to the Unit Channel with your patrol partner so you can talk without constant chatter when seperated. You should always have a secondary Radio button for contacting all other Units in emergencies.
You must also have a patrol partner at all times, unless instructed otherwise - Cadets may never patrol together or alone.




Chain of Command

If you are a Cadet, you are in your position for one reason, to obtain a better understanding of how the Police Department works. If somebody is a higher rank than you and tells you something, you had better do it. As a Cadet you may feel like you know everything there is to know. Trust us, you don't.
Keep in mind, once you screw around at any rank then chances are you will be removed. Respect everyone in the Police Department, no matter what their rank is.

Courtesy Be polite
Professionalism Show extreme competency
Respect Show consideration

Other Important Information


Going Away / Inactive
If you know you will be gone for a while you need to make a thread in the (Private) section of the LSPD forums to let us know, otherwise you may be uninvited while offline. This is extremely important to do if it applies to you, seriously if you go inactive for over one to two weeks and don't post a thread then you're gone.

Recommending a Cadet
We would like to remind everyone about the "Recommend A Cadet Program". The program was setup to make it easier for us High Command Members to learn who is working hard and deserves the title of Officer. Basically we want this thread to get used more often, Cadets you are reminded that you can remind Officers about this topic, found by clicking this. Now when I say this I don't mean go annoy a Officer saying post please until he does. If your seen doing that you will be in trouble, but anyway if the Officer has been saying good things about you like your doing very well or something, just simply remind the Officer about the topic, don't bug/spam/annoy him

The Roster
Now incase you don't know already, we have a roster posted listing all current members serving in the L.S.P.D. This roster can be found by clicking here. On the roster you can find out everyones rank and or position in the L.S.P.D. along with what timezone they are in. Please remember that if you aren't on the roster, it is very very important for you to let us know by posting the correct information in the topic. We strive to keep the roster as up to date as possible, so again please help us by making sure you are listed on the roster and the information provided on it is all one hundred percent up to date.

Ventrilo Channel Info Alright so whenever the channel password to dispatch is changed, everyone freaks out. Instead of doing the right thing and looking in the topic specifically about the dispatch channel everyone spams the Chiefs saying "PASSWORD PLOX???". This is the wrong move, whenever you can't join dispatch, simply go to this link and it will tell you the updated channel password. This also applies to other channel passwords. If your in a the Internal Affairs. simply look into your private division forum for the topic called something something channel password.

Obtaining a Blue Forum Name
This is commonly asked within the LSPD: How can I get a blue name on the forums? This question requires a simple solution: apply for the LSPD group in the group membership section, which can be found here. Getting accepted into the LSPD group entitles you to a blue forum name, along with access to the private LSPD forums.

NOTICE: When you apply for the usergroup, always include your in-game LSPD name along with your rank, otherwise you will likely be denied. If you are no longer an active member of the LSPD, we would like to ask that you remove yourself from the usergroup, or identify yourself under another group if possible. Either option can be accomplished from the above link. Also keep in mind that if your forum name doesn't match your in game name you may also be denied. It is recommended that you post in the admin requests section of the forums to get a forum name change to match your in game name.

Clarifications relating to Internal Affairs

There has been some misgivings relating to internal affairs, specificly their powers and abilities.

Internal Affairs is and always has been a separate entity from the LSPD's main body. Although they generally have rank two or three in-game, OOCly they are in fact unlisted ranks. In essence, IA officers have no authority over LSPD units excluding in matters of Internal Security, stability, and in all matters of IA investigation, also the same applies in reverse. However, since IA Officers are also kept secret from everybody but the Director and the Chief's they will follow orders unless they are working on an IA case, in which case they will not be required to follow that. Also note that only one Captain and one Sergeant will be in the IA and these people will be public and also able to give/take orders, unless the orders taken are in conflict with the IA.

They are both above and below the authority of all ranks but the Chief(s) and the divisional leader of the Internal Affairs department. As the Chief is immune to infractions as is the IA commander.

Deputy Chiefs and below are however not immune to Internal Affairs jurisdictional matters and can receive infractions. Although this as far as I can recall has never happened, yet it is possible.

IA officers although generally are shall we say keeping an eye on things during quiet times it has been permitted to assist in patrols, pursuits or respond to crimes. Although that is not their focus.

IA officers are able to use LSPD cars if desired along with civilian cars.

IA is not here to mess up your day or get you into trouble, generally it was established to point out officer mistakes and offer advice. We're not here for a witch hunt and unless a serious accusation or suspicion is relevant. We generally don't follow you around. You don't need to be so concerned when there's an IA operative around.

Pertaining to Lawyers



I'm sure all of you have noticed how Lawyers tend to come and go as they please in the PD and don't usually RP the job. Well, I've devised a few steps to control some of this chaotic and Non-RP behavior.

Step 1: Ask them for "documents" (( /showlicenses )).
Step 2: Have them get against the wall, then frisk them.
Step 3: Ask for the client's name.
Step 4: Have the Lawyer wait outside the door and go check for their client in the cells.
Step 5: If client is present, alert them that their Lawyer has arrived, if not then have the Lawyer leave the PD.
Step 6: Go escort the Lawyer in, to the Cells. After, wait for the two to roleplay the situation and do not allow the Lawyer to lower more than one person's time.
Step 7: After the Lawyer is done with their client escort him out of the building, and the client if he/she has been released from Jail.
