The Los Santos Police Department are the overarching antagonists of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and major antagonists in Grand Theft Auto V.
They are responsible for cleaning up the streets of the city and are known for their brutal methods of doing so including shooting to death a suspect who resists arrest, shooting at a vehicle they've pulled over, killing suspects and arresting someone without reason. Their methods in real life would get an officer suspended, fired and/or arrested along with the department getting sued. The LSPD is well-funded and has several pieces of police equipment, stations and thousands of cops prepared.
According to their police badges, the LSPD was established in 1889.
Overview[]
The L.S.P.D. was founded in 1889, a century after Los Santos. This is the police department of the city of Los Santos as well as its annex service of Blaine County, the Los Santos County Sheriff.
Their equipment can include pistols and pump shotguns, some even use Micro Sub-Machine Guns when on Predator boats. If the player gains a three-star wanted level, officers will begin to wear body armor for extra protection. Police Officers can gain Carbine Rifles when guarding the Los Santos International Airport and other important locations. If cops fail to take down the criminal, NOOSE (National Office of Security Enforcement) Officers will be sent out.
It is undoubtedly one of the most corrupt, violent and incompetent police services in the history of video games. The L.S.P.D. is indeed known for its radical and racist methods. They act in their interest and sometimes that of the government and do not really care about the population they are supposed to protect. In the chase, they will be able to crush or shoot down civilians without worrying about it, attack the player when they are responsible, arrest someone for no reason or attack civilians. It is even shown in several missions that they intimidate their suspects and sometimes even threaten them with bodily penetration if they refuse to confess crimes they have not committed or to force them to cooperate. L.S.P.D. officers are also suspected of hiring prostitutes and scheming with local gangs, which would explain the abnormal number of prostitutes and street criminals in the city.
In Grand Theft Auto Online, the LSPD Officers are even more aggressive as they will not even attempt an arrest and just kill the player for committing even the most minor of crimes such as bumping into people. Their impressive accuracy makes them a far more threatening and lethal challenge for the players.
The L.S.P.D. is the very image of the accusations of corruption and uselessness against the police. In fact, the Los Santos police are very unpopular among civilians. Their corrupt and powerful nature is even found in their recruitment ads, where they promises a career of only 10 years of work, a very well-paid salary and unlimited access to firearms.
Vehicules[]
They are several vehicles the cops can use including:
- Police Cruiser—One of the two main police cars that officers use. This is a four-door sedan vehicle which are commonly used.
- Police Interceptor—One of the two main police cars that officers use. This is a four-door sports sedan which are commonly used.
- Police Buffalo—A four-door muscle sedan.
- Police Transporter—A three-door police van which can be used to form roadblocks and carry extra officers.
- Unmarked Police Cruiser—A 4-door sedan.
- Police Maverick—A police adaption of the civilian Maverick helicopter. It can hold a pilot and up to three passengers.
- Police Predator—A police boat which chases after criminals in water areas. It can have a driver and up to three passengers.
