  1. Usage of IRL location names and terms Introduction A lot of people don´t understand that the world of Grand Theft Auto V or any other open-world games that are built based on real-life locations is practically a whole new universe. The world of Grand Theft Auto V is based on the real-life State of California, especially Los Angeles. As the developers of Grand Theft Auto V created their universe and named it The State of San Andreas, all players are supposed to stick to the given universe and use only official location names as long as they are In-Character. Common usage As Grand Theft Auto V only covers the city of Los Santos and its County region, we should only stick to using the terms of the city of Los Santos and Los Santos County as a placeholder for the city of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County. The State of San Andreas term is therefore a placeholder for the State of California. That means concretely that the terms of Los Angeles and the State of California don´t exist in our universe. The Grand Theft Auto History The Grand Theft Auto series has mentioned multiple locations over time such as Vice City, Liberty City, San Fierro and Las Venturas. As for now, these locations also doesn´t exist in our universe. Everything that is outside the Grand Theft Auto V universe, is not to be used. Therefore talking about Las Vegas or Miami Beach In-Character is legit. If someone asks your character about Las Venturas, your character would have no idea where or what that should be. Examples of official location names in our universe In-Character In Real Life The State of San Andreas The State of California Los Santos Los Angeles Vinewood (Sign/Bowl) Hollywood (Sign/Bowl) Del Perro Pier Santa Monica Pier Vespucci Beach Venice Beach Los Santos Forum Los Angeles Forum Jefferson Towers Watts Towers Los Santos Storm Drain Los Angeles River The Alamo Sea, AKA Sandy Shores Salton Sea Galileo Observatory Griffith Observatory Marlowe Vineyard Malibu Rocky Oaks Mount Chiliad Mount San Jacinto Conclusion As the universe has its locations and terms, everything that exists in the Grand Theft Auto V game should act as a placeholder, if possible, or as a whole new location that doesn´t have to exists in real life. Only use location names and terms that belong to the universe. That also includes street names, zones, areas, neightborhoods, building names, vehicle names, postal codes, etc. Useful links San Andreas Postal Codes San Andreas Street Names & Regions

  5. 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.

  14. Implement realistic budgets and stick to them! Others have attempted this but it just ends with staff spawning money. LAPD and every other department in the US. work off a tight budget that is voted on annually. Depending on where it falls it can adversely effect a number of things. New Officer hiring could increase or decrease based on the budget. Officer retainment could suffer, budget shortcomings could result in less officers. Department expansions hinge on the budget, the all mighty dollar and it takes a lot of them to run. This s a source of contention for almost every large department in the US. Lawsuits affect the departments funds and in return puts very realistic pressure on the department heads to make sure people are on point and money isn't wasted. Host a community fundraiser to help raise money. It happens all the time in the US to fund even the necessities... Example 1 Example 2 This could easily provide RP that isn't about kicking in doors and shooting people... its community outreach. Budgeting for employee ammunition would be critical and put much needed checks and balances into the department. Why did Officer J. Smith request and use over 1000 rounds over the past month? All interactions with LEO's don't need to end in gun fights, arrests or police chases. Lets put initiatives forward to get cops out of cars and walking, doing beat work or other examples like.... Outreach Project in the Projects - These officers show up and coordinate with the community leaders to host a cookout, a charity event... a game of pick up basketball or maybe there is some excess budget for the year and they purchase and donate bicycles to the inner city youth gangbangers in Rancho, just a quick example. Pancake Charity Breakfast - Raising funds to get officers some new equipment.
