The Los Santos County Sheriff's Department (LSSD), officially the County of Los Santos Sheriff's Department, is a law enforcement agency serving Los Santos County, San Andreas. LSSD is the largest sheriff's department in the United States. The LSSD houses approximately fifteen thousand employees—7560 sworn deputies and 7924 unsworn members.

 

The department's two main responsibilities are to provide municipal police services within Los Santos County and courthouse security for the Superior Court of Los Santos County. In addition to providing municipal police services to the unincorporated communities within Los Santos County, it has contractual arrangements to provide services for 42 of the 88 independent cities withing Los Santos County. The LSSD also has contracts to provide services for the Los Santos Transit.

 

In 2021, it was confirmed that numerous seperate gangs of deputy sheriffs within the LSSD had been known to be operating since the 1960s. These gangs engaged in a pattern of on/off-duty behaviour that intentionally violated the law or the fundamental principles of policing, including but not limited to, racial profiling, police brutality and police corruption.

 

History

Main article: History of the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department

 

The Los Santos County Sheriff's Department, which was founded in 1850, was the first professional police force in the Los Santos area. The volunteer, Los Santos-specific Los Santos Rangers were formed in 1853 to assist the LSSD. They were succeeded by the Los Santos City Guards, another volunteer group. Neither force was deemed efficient and Los Santos became known for its violence, gambling and 'vice'.

 

On December 20, 2008, the Los Santos County Board of Supervisors voted 4 to 1, to merge the Los Santos County Office of Public Safety into the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department. The merger took place on August 20, 2010.

The first deputy gang acknowledged by the LSSD was the "Little Devils" in an internal memo in the 1970s, although they are believed to have been involved in the death of Los Santos Times reporter and law enforcement critic Rubian Salazer during the National Chicano Moratorium March against the Vietnam War on August 29, 1970. They operated out of the East Los Santos station and sported tattooed caricatures of a small, red devil on their left calves. They were known at the time to have at least 47 members.

 

The "Wayside Whities" operated out of the Peter J. Pitchess Detention Center throughout the 1980s, their alleged mission being to "bring to heel" any incarcerated black men, especially those who fought with white prisoners.

 

Los Santos blog outlet Knock LS has published a database of hundreds of LSSD employees found in court documents to be associated with deputy gang activity, including names of officers, gang affiliation, case number, deputy/badge/serial number, and department title.
