Los Santos Police Department (HD Universe)

The Los Santos Police Department (LSPD) is the police department for Los Santos featured in Grand Theft Auto V. The LSPD is based on the Los Angeles Police Department  (LAPD). It is speculated that they are more professional than the prequel's police department and that there will also be female police officers in the game. The LSPD is cooperating with the Los Santos County Sheriff Department.

Vehicles
In Lower Wanted Levels, LSPD Officers can been seen driving two variants of Police Cars and Police Bike on the streets:


 * A Police Bike, possibly for Highway Patrol.
 * A Vapid Stanier Police Cruiser, based on the 1998-2011 Ford Crown Victoria; marked and unmarked. Originally based on the GTA IV model.
 * In Higher Wanted Levels, NOOSE Officers can been seen driving four variants of Police Cars on the streets along with the Police Maverick
 * A new Police Vehicle, designed after the new Ford Taurus Police Interceptor showcasing new LED style lightbars, working alley lights, wig wag tail lights, flashing head lights, grill lights, windshield and back windows lights and push bar lights.
 * A new Sheriff's/NOOSE Police SUV, Declasse Granger.
 * A Police Buffalo, based on the Buffalo.
 * A Police Van, based on a 4WD Declasse van with a single sliding door (possibly a Moonbeam)

The LSPD also extends their authority in the air in with the use of Police Mavericks, based on the real-life American Eurocopter AS350B-2 A-Star, replacing the Bell 206 on which the beta Maverick was originally based.

Uniform
LSPD Offficers wear all navy blue uniforms resembling their real life counterparts in the LAPD. They wear either long or short-sleeved duty shirts, on which their badges, resembling the LAPD silver badge, is displayed on their left side. They wear long duty pants and are also equipped with a duty belt, which incases a radio, a pair of handcuffs, ammo  cases, and what appears to be what resembles a Glock 22. Some can also be seen wearing a police hat.

Members

 * Officer Ronson
 * Officer Vasquez

Weapons and Equipment
Police Officers carry a range of weapons that they use to deal with crime in the city, including Nightsticks and customized carbine rifles with Laser sight attachments. Glock may be seeing a return as normal duty weapon. Possibly the Glock 22 or 17. Suggestions from gaming magazines suggest that Tasers may be primary weapons for lower stars, possibly one or two star wanted levels.

Trivia

 * In GTA V, what appears to be Bigfoot appears on the LSPD Emblem, possibly a nod to the Bigfoot rumors from GTA San Andreas.
 * Their slogan is "Obey & Survive".
 * The Wanted Level in GTA V is likely to be more advanced than in previous games, as a police helicopter seen in a screenshot chases the player nearly at ground level wth officers engaging with advanced weapons.
 * This will be the first police department in the GTA series to have female recruits.
 * Unlike other GTA games where the police is chasing the player with the police car, the police have better driving skill, and they drive much faster compared to other GTA games even at lower wanted level.
 * The news article that says a man was arrested for using his camera to film the cops and they shot his dog for "good measure" is likely based on the real life incident that happened earlier this year. A man filmed cops at a crime scene and had his car radio on very loud and was arrested for it, while being handcuffed, his dog jumped out of the car window and barked and leaped at (but not attacked) the cops while trying to get to his owner. One of the cops responded by shooting the dog dead. This obviously caused uproar and anger from the public.
