Los Santos Police Department

[Stults]

[Consistency]

The Los Santos Police Department is based on and inspired by the Los Angeles Police Department. We strive to accurately and realistically portray the LAPD. Founded in 1869, the LAPD is one of the oldest law enforcement agencies in the United States. Having a documented history of systematic corruption, discriminating policing and police brutality, the LAPD was placed under federal oversight in 2001 by the U.S. Department of Justice. It then went on to see numerous large reforms up until 2013, turning it into the transparent and diverse department that it is today. With nearly 9,000 officers and 3,000 civilian staff, it is the third largest municipal police department in the United States. Its rich history, culture and traditions, as well as its iconic motto "To Protect and to Serve", makes the LAPD unrivaled .

The Los Santos Police Department has established faction lore for it and it's members to use and reference when roleplaying the ins-and outs of a Police Officer. The faction lore is inspired by events and moments of significance of the Los Angeles Police Department

ACCESS FACTION LORE

As we have the opportunity to head back onto RAGE, we've made significant changes to the way we want to be perceived. While the rhetoric may sound familiar, we wish to re-iterate that our focus is to provide quality police roleplay to the server as an integral part of the community and in-character ecosystem. While our faction members are tasked with enforcing the Law and Maintaining order we emphasize that we are players first and foremost.

We've committed to setting a higher standard for the portrayal of law enforcement and we intend to follow through on this. We educate our faction members to follow the rules, but we recognize this is not enough to guarantee abuse of power. We've made it clear since the relaunch was announced that we will not tolerate those who wish to exploit the power invested in them.

Accountability is a two-way street, and we want to emphasize that while the faction is structured to oversee itself we cannot detect all wrong-doing without a heads up. Should you as a player believe that faction members are breaking the rules we urge you to come forward in the form of a Forum PM to @Consistency
