INFORMATION The Los Santos Police Department take pride in our integrity, transparency, and commitment to the public. In order to ensure fairness and adherence to procedures and law, we created the Internal Affairs, a division under our Professional Standards Bureau. Internal Affairs consists of a Commanding Officer, Assistant Commanding Officer, and Internal Affairs Investigators, all who work under a Professional Standards Bureau Coordinator, who reports to the (Assistant) Chief of Police directly. To ensure proper and thorough investigations, Internal Affairs doesn't consist of many investigators, the process of becoming an Internal Affairs investigator is lengthy and requires an exemplary record of impartial and honest police work in the Los Santos Police Department. We take allegations of misconduct very seriously, but it's also imperative that our system doesn't get flooded. There's a difference between a severe misconduct allegation and poor professionalism (for example), and for the latter, you can file a complaint directly with a Police Supervisor. The Los Santos Police Department's supervisory team consists of Sergeants and Detectives, all who have gone through a lengthy program to train and evaluate their performance and knowledge, thus they are entrusted with the task of taking complaints. Examples of misconduct, but not limited to; Wrongful Imprisonment / Conviction or Citation Overuse of Force / Questionable Force Gross Misconduct / Unprofessionalism et al. As a faction, we also pride ourselves in the RP standard that we've set, as we intend to lead by example. Because of that, we also accept OOC reports on our forums. Important to note; If you want to report an officer for e.g. demonstrating lower quality RP, then you should first ensure that you play on the RP level that you advocate for. As with any investigation by the Police Department, the evidence is crucial to helping us reach the appropriate outcome of your case. Please include ALL the information and evidence available at the time of the report to obtain the best results. Even if you have no evidence available, your report will be treated the same and your allegation(s) will be investigated 1. REPORT SUBMITTED When a report is submitted to Internal Affairs, it will be reviewed by a supervisor of Internal Affairs who will determine if the report should be forwarded to our investigations database. If the supervisor determines that it's not a legitimate report for any reason, they will send you an e-mail stating why it will not be forwarded. 2. THE REPORT IS FORWARDED TO OUR DATABASE & INVESTIGATION BEGINS Once a report has been forwarded, the supervisor will assign one or more investigator(s) to initiate the investigation around the allegation(s). Investigators will seek out factual evidence pertaining to the report through statements, recordings or any other means (e.g. forensics). Depending on what the report pertains, this process varies in time length, it can be anywhere between 2 days and up to 2 weeks before they've concluded their investigation. An Internal Affairs Supervisor and/or Internal Affairs Command will monitor the investigation thoroughly and give guidance to investigators should they need it. 3. CONCLUSION Once the investigation has been concluded, the investigators will give their recommended conclusion to an Internal Affairs Supervisor and/or Command and they will conclude the report. An e-mail will be sent to your e-mail once the report has been concluded where they will inform you of the conclusion. If the report is found sustained, then the officers it pertains will be disciplined according to LSPD policy, which should be anything from a verbal warning, written warning, suspension, wage garnishment, demotion to a dishonorable discharge. 4. COMPENSATION The Los Santos Police Department will also offer compensation if certain specific allegations are found sustained, e.g. wrongful convictions/imprisonments or citations. This compensation will cover any fines that you had to pay, plus for any other expenses (or lost thereof). Can I appeal the decision made by Internal Affairs? Yes, with the Board of Commissioners on the Government forum. The (Assistant) Chief of Police oversees the Internal Affairs system and cases that come through them. How are members of the LSPD held responsible for wrong-doings? The LSPD has an extensive disciplinary system with a wide variety of disciplinary punishments. Depending on the severity of the incident and the record of the officer(s) in questioning, the disciplinary punishment could be anything from a verbal warning to a dishonorable discharge from the faction. I believe a member of the LSPD broke server rules, what can I do? The Internal Affairs Division doesn't investigate around server rules. You need to post a player report here on the Eclipse forums. Once it has been resolved, you can submit an OOC IA report with the report as a reference and we will look into potentially disciplining the member within the faction. Can I report concerns about role-play quality from members? Yes, Internal Affairs accepts Out of Character reports. Why is my evidence not being used? Internal Affairs will not use any evidence unless it's in compliance with server rules. If /record isn't used, there needs to be proof of RP from prior to the incident of recording equipment being obtained and installed. It also needs to be properly relayed to people in your vicinity. However, we recommend that you include any OOC footage from the incident as we can use that as a point of reference whenever and if we role-play checking e.g. CCTVs, dashcams, body cams etc.

APPLICATION PROCESS When the Los Santos Police Department announces a recruitment drive and opens its doors for new applicants, you may submit your application digitally on our Government Website. It's important that you read over our Application Information prior to applying to make sure that you meed the requirements and criteria for becoming a member of the Los Santos Police Department. Some requirements to be highlighted: You need at least 5,000 experience on the character which you are applying with, and you need to have had a clean admin record for 45 days from the date you submitted your application. We also require that you have a functional microphone that you can use when needed. INTERVIEW PROCESS If you have passed the initial stage of the hiring process, you will need to partake in two interviews - one which is Out of Character and done on our discord server, and one which is In Character and done entirely In-Game. Both these interviews serve a purpose, we will test your knowledge on server rules and role-play terms in general, and we will also test your ability to role-play and communicate. ACADEMY TRAINING If you have passed your interview, you will be scheduled to participate in a Police Academy. The purpose of the Academy is to introduce you to the Los Santos Police Department and its principles and values. You will get taught and evaluated on the basic but vital procedures and protocols, as well as commands. You will also get to participate and try out certain things during the academy. The duration of an academy varies between 60-180 minutes depending on the size, amount of questions and other unforeseen issues. INTRODUCTORY TRAINING & EVALUATION Once you have completed the Police Academy, you will be sworn in as a Police Cadet. Depending on your intentions, personality and goals, the Cadet period may not be the most fun period in the faction, but it's important to us that each and every member that represents the faction, is properly trained and evaluated before they represent the faction on a larger scale. If you like training and learning new things, then this period will definitely be fun and rewarding for you. I was denied, can I apply again? Yes, next Recruitment Drive unless otherwise specified in your denial message. I failed one of the stages, can I apply again? Yes, next Recruitment Drive unless otherwise specified in your denial message. I have recently been removed from a faction because of poor OOC conduct or other OOC reasons, can I still apply? You will most likely not be allowed to partake in the Police Recruitment Process unless you have shown that you are in good standing with the community and other factions for a consistent time period. I am from a different region than the one that you are looking for members in, can I still apply? No. Can I appeal my denial or any of the stages that I failed? No. All denials and recruitment stages are supervised by Senior Members of the faction. Is it easy to progress or gain higher ranks in this faction? No. Like the LSSD, the LSPD believes in good and proper character development as well as a somewhat realistic portrayal of a Law Enforcement agency. Higher up positions like supervisor and above are also limited and have added responsibilities both IC and OOC, and we need to make sure that no one gains the power to fast and that they earn their position in the faction by experience and knowledge. In turn, this results in better obedience in terms of upholding our regulations & standards, which results in better relations with the Eclipse Community. Members that perform good and don't get disciplined either IC or OOC can expect a promotion every 1-2 months, however, certain members may hit a wall when they reach the final rank of whichever group they're apart of (e.g. Field Staff, Supervisory Staff and Command Staff). The higher you climb in the faction, the more responsibilities you will have whether that's out of the game or in the game. We do not "force" paperwork (forum work) on anyone, people choose if they want to progress or not themselves when we offer it to them. Will I be able to get a heavy weapon quickly in the faction? No. Police Officer II is the lowest rank that can apply for a certification which will allow you to use a shotgun on duty under strict regulations. Progression takes time in the Police Department and that includes access to new equipment and vehicles.

You can! You'd have to do something like /me speaks in Russian. Before you use VOIP or text chat. Another indicator when you text chat is to add [Language] before the text. So i.e. [Russian] Hello. Edit, to clarify. You do the RP of you speaking in Russian in /me but you still have to speak English.

Los Santos Police Department "To Protect and Serve" The Los Santos Police Department was reformed in May 2017 to what it is today, and it has since then, strived to provide the community with realistic role-play. The Los Santos Police Department adapts our structure and standard operating procedures to real-world policing in the United States, with a specific focus on the Los Angeles Police Department. The fundamentals of the faction are to have strict In-Character as well as Out-of-Character policies, regulations, and procedures, as we believe that it is the core to ensure that we can provide the community with the best realistic police role-play. This faction thread is purely Out of Character and aims to introduce you to the Los Santos Police Department, as well as inspire you by showing what type of role-play that our members get to involve themselves in. Government Homepage Press Releases Recruitment & Employment Internal Affairs Complaints Los Santos Penal Code 1. INTRODUCTION AND FACTION LEADERSHIP 2. RANKING HIERARCHY & DEPARTMENT STRUCTURE 3. RECRUITMENT & MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION 4. INTERNAL AFFAIRS During the San Andreas Gold Rush, the State of San Andreas was guarded by its County Sheriff and multiple militias that were created to aid the already existing County Sheriff. It wasn't until 1869 when the first paid police force created, to what we today know, as the Los Santos Police Department. The force started with six paid Police Officers that served under City Marshal Jackson White, however, White was shot by one of his deputies in 1870 and was soon replaced by John F. Smith, by the newly created Board of Commissioners. Smith's succession as the City Marshal lasted only a year, as he was replaced by a saloon owner, William Harris. During the years of 1876 to 1889, the Police Force had fifteen different police chiefs. The Los Santos Police Department did not provide its officers with official training until 1916 when the first police training was introduced. This is the police training that has been the fundamentals of what we know today and it is the reason why the Los Santos Police Department is one of the largest and statistics-driven Police Department. Chief Gas Ketse was appointed Chief of Police on January 21, 2017, but soon found himself replaced by Chief Sebastian Freeman in May 2017. Chief Sebastian Freeman and his staff began the reform of the Los Santos Police Department shortly afterward, successfully managing to re-create the entire structure of the Los Santos Police Department, Bureaus and Divisions within. After a successful reform of the entire department, with the help of his staff, Chief Freeman was appointed to become one of the city's first Government Commissioners in July 2017, and his successor, Chief Ramon Carter took over reigns in the Los Santos Police Department. Chief Ramon Carter followed the path of his predecessor and continued to improve and push the Department to strive further success and improvements. Chief Carter, just like his predecessor, was appointed the second Government Commissioner on September 19th, 2017. His successor, Chief Samuel Osborn, was appointed Chief of Police the same day. Chief Osborn's reign only lasted until October 20th, when he stepped down and allowed his successor, Chief Katherine Taylor to take reigns of the Los Santos Police Department. Chief Taylor was the longest-serving Chief of Police of the Los Santos Police Department, she was appointed Chief of Police on October 27th, 2017 until she stepped down on September 28th, 2018 and assumed a new role in the Los Santos Police Department. During Chief Taylor's reign, she pushed for further success and improvements in the Departments and to further strengthen the relations between the community and the Police Force. Chief Taylor and her staff pushed for the Department's second-biggest structural revamp on July 21st, 2018, and that's when the Department expanded the previous 5 Bureaus, to 7 Bureaus divided into 3 Offices. Chief Osborn was re-appointed and sworn in as the Chief of Police on September 28th, 2018. During his reign, the department saw more changes to its structure and new appointments were made into High Command and Command Staff. On July 10th, 2019, Chief Osborn put in a retirement request to the San Andreas State Government, and his successor, Chief Mick Reefer, was inaugurated as the Chief of Police on July 21st, 2019. On November 24th, 2019, following Chief Reefer's immediate resignation, both the San Andreas State Government and the Assistant Chief of Police, Alex Donnelly, put forth a request for Chief Osborn's return. Chief Osborn had been out of retirement for three months, serving as the Sheriff of the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department. He accepted their request and transferred to the Los Santos Police Department. On the 27th of February, Chief Osborn was presented with the opportunity to join the Board of Commisioners, to which Chief Osborn accepted without hesitation and was made the third Government Commissioner. His successor, Chief Donnelly, was later inaugurated as the Chief of Police on March 10th, 2020.

I support this for all cars. All cars should come with more costs than just the vehicle and fuel cost. There should be more vehicle maintenance required, crashed vehicles should require vehicle parts to be repaired. The most expensive the vehicle, the more expensive the maintenance. This should discourage people from using sport/supercars on a daily basis for practically everything if they have to continuously pay money for more than $150 visual repair at Bayview/LSC. A lot fewer supercars/ sports cars would allow PD to willingly nerf their vehicles if we saw more regular cars being used. But that's not the case right now, 1/5 of our vehicle pursuits is of a regular vehicle, whereas the other 4 is with a fast vehicle. One of the old SA-MP servers that I played on used to have a % life on battery and engine. When you crashed your car so hard that it went kaboom, about 25% of the engine went out and the battery would always gradually decrease its lifespan. You could replace your engine with a new engine, but that was expensive as hell. This encouraged people to drive responsibly, and we rarely had pursuits with sports cars because of said reason, most of the time it was stolen sports cars that we chased. You should post this in the suggestion forum, I think it could be nice to have in there for the developers when they look for ideas.

At least in Europe, from the countries I've visited, it's pretty common that it goes from red > yellow > green or from green > yellow > red. But aside from that, the traffic lights work the way Rockstar Games made them work. I'm very doubtful that we'd be able to adjust the lights if we even wanted to do so.

Just a slight improvement to 911 calls to make sure that players get the fastest response. When someone calls 911, add a Location: #Neighborhood to the text so that we can see which neighborhood they've called from. That way the closest unit to that neighborhood can respond to the 911 call. Neighborhoods as in, i.e. - Vespucci, Alta Street, Vinewood, Rancho etc. So the new layout would look something like: [911] [Hour:Minute] [Caller Text] [GPS Location] i.e. [911] [22:47] [I've been shot. Help me!] [Rancho]

+1 Or let us use a command like MD has to put someone in the car. That way we can put 2 people in the same car.

Vehicle missing, parked in a house when i dont own a house
Osborn replied to xSmokieMcPotx's topic in Archive
I'm not following. Did someone steal it from an NCZ and then chop shop it? Unfortunately, we have no way of telling who did that, but if they did, it should be back in Mors Insurance & be available to you after 3 hours. The scrap yard shouldn't have your vehicle in it. That's only temporary illegal vehicles with no registration. -

Uh, I'm not In-Game to give you a picture of it, but it's a bit west (left from PD), there's a big square (Legion Square) and it's to the northern side of that. It should be marked on your map. It's one block to the left away from the Police Station in Mission Row. Let me know if you find it! -

Hey, have you checked the Legion Square parking lot @xSmokieMcPotx? -
Hey @Dmitrij Nagiev , this is, unfortunately, Rage MP desync. It's still in development of course, and until they manage to sync everything perfectly,, you simply will need to adapt to lag shooting. I'll show you a video from SA-MP to demonstrate what I mean by lag shooting. The concept of lag shooting also applies to the car, when you PIT a car, you'd realistically aim for the rear-right or left side of a car, but on Rage, you don't connect with the car, depending on your ping and the player's ping, you aim somewhere behind the car. It took SA-MP quite some years to fix the shooting sync to be 'perfect', we can only hope it takes a bit faster for the Rage MP Development team.

"Make only light kevlar invisible and make it avaible for civilians. Readd a script with guns/items shown on body then ez pz remove name colours. " I don't know what you expect me to take these two sentences as. "Make x invisible and make it available for civilians. Re-add the script with guns/items shown on body. THEN remove name colors." What I'm simply asking is why do we have to do x and y before we remove name colors? What's the purpose you're trying to get at? Don't get me wrong, I'm simply trying to understand. My post was also a recommendation for you to make your own suggestion since you're going off this topic's suggestion by suggesting things that weren't brought up in the main post, such as making light kevlar vests invisible and adding it for everyone. The main post is suggesting: - Make /togglemask a command accessible by all faction members. - Make all factions have white names.

+1 plus it's not only Detectives in plain clothes. You seem to be referring to an incident at Bayview the other day, and that wasn't detectives. If a criminal can carry an arsenal of weapons on them, why can't a police officer do so? Do you hold us to a higher standard? Why? PD has a development request for scripted gun-racks and armory so we don't have to carry these guns on us (although a very small % in PD has bigger guns than a shotgun). It'll probably be made once we have a script again that shows if you're carrying a big weapon on your person. But that is beside the point. Why are ya'll be worried about blue nametags or masks? The main purpose is to decrease potential METAGAMING. Why does any faction have to "compensate" to prevent metagaming?
