What do you want to see out of the Los Santos Police Department?

[danielswe]

Hello everyone,

 

I am Daniel Swenson and I am the current Chief of Police of the Los Santos Police Department and I am really excited for LS-RP V and I am sure that my faction members are also excited!

 

The purpose of this thread is to gather feedback and suggestions from the community to make the Los Santos Police Department as good as it can be.

 

If you have been in the faction before from 2018 and forward, as a Police Officer II or above, and want to come back to Los Santos Police Department, the you are more than welcome to send in a reinstatement request on the 1st of November. You can read more about the reinstatements here: Reinstatement information.

One thing I disliked about a lot of LEO roleplayers in SA-MP is when they ignored situations. I've witnessed it a lot of times when for example, someone is being beaten up on the street, and a LEO drives past, just watches the situation then drives off like nothing happens, especially when the person is asking for help. Always felt so unrealistic to me. No matter how trollish they deem the situation, it's still occurring IC and should still be responded to.

Just going to chime in on this, with the map on GTA V being a lot larger, I'd expect contact with civilians/gang members to be a lot lesser in comparison to what it was on GTA SA. One of the stigma's of both PD and SD on GTA SA (not saying everyone done it) was that people would hop from shootout to shootout. After experiencing the police scene in another community both internally and externally along with the map in consideration, the roleplay is a lot more passive in comparison to what it was in GTA SA so that's something I'd like to see a lot more of.

More roleplay and less shootings, and ego. Police from time to time can give chances to those who committed their first crime, to cut loose before deciding to ruin someone's life. Unless it's not serious of course. It has to be improved by not being a robocop as it was defined on SA-MP, I give my hopes that everyone will be able to encounter with PD properly.

This was a massive problem on lsrp, it was always active pursuits over anything else. I remember attending a callout from PD when I was in FD and the 3 cops that were with me with a victim ran off without saying anything, when I PMed one of them he said "sorry, there's another pursuit." I want to see PD seeing out situations to the very end with barely any of them breaking off to do something else in the meantime, it's a huge immersion breaker and it's a main gateway to the later robocops we saw.

 

Anyone who wants to join PD with the mindset of chasing people down or attending shootouts all day long doesn't belong in the faction, there has to be room for development in other areas. If a criminal faction were to look for action every minute of their playing time they'd be shut down by FM faster than you can blink.

Cops roleplaying actual characters and not the usual robocops only going on-duty to perform traffics stops and participating in shootouts.

You took my words. Don't be rocobops and that's it.

Cops that are actually gonna care about others when it comes to a penaltie. I think that in real life it's not that easy to just put man behind bars without listening to his part of the story. Most of the time it's just "you are guilty, welcome to the jail" - you're CKed. It looks like they have something wrote on the notepad and copy-paste it whole time. 

[tokyos067]

Just hire people that are willing to develop the character even off duty. In my 5 years of RPing I have seen like a total of 5 people that were RPing off duty cops.

Wish I was a part of it man...

Hi Tokyos,

 

Unsure of whether you were on LSRP in the last 18 - 24 months, however we cracked down on character development and had strict emphasis on it department wide. If faction members have questionable development or do not promote realism they are subject to a warning, and ultimately a removal from the faction. This will be continued in V.

Good call Cofii. This is definitely something also that we’re aware of, we care about the experience that we provide to players — I’ll make sure all of our supervisory staff keep this in mind.

Something again that we are conscious of, and if you read my message to the first quote I explained our policy faction wide on this.

Absolutely, thanks for the feedback. :).

fun and not 1:1 with real life.

Leadership team welcoming constructive criticism rather than labeling it as slandering the faction. In the past, I myself have tried giving criticism which resulted in being pointed at as a problem starter and toxic. The leadership team needs to be open to taking suggestions and advice from both it's subordinates and those outside of the faction. There's nothing wrong with not understanding how to resolve every problem as a leader. It takes a good leader to listen and resolve the issue(s) in a way that benefits everyone. Also, the leadership team should try to voice their own individual opinions rather than just agree with what other members of top brass think. We don't need yes men.

Ive always wanted to see a PD that actively does investigations aswell. 

 

It would have to be higher ranking people but for example, looking at wealthy individuals that are involved in crime. 

 

You see people living in the hood driving around $120,000 cars... shouldnt that raise a little suspicion?

Where can I make an application for LSPD? I've made an account on the forum, could somebody link me?
