Los Santos Police Department (3D Universe)

The Los Santos Police Department (LSPD) is a branch of the San Andreas Police Department servicing the city of Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description
Modeled after the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the LSPD are a prominent part of the storyline in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

The LSPD houses a branch known as C.R.A.S.H. ( C ommunity R esources A gainst S treet H oodlums, based on an anti-gang branch of the LAPD), of which officers Frank Tenpenny, Eddie Pulaski, and Jimmy Hernandez are members. Tenpenny is also represented as the main antagonistic element throughout the game's entire storyline, and he, along with Pulaski, who is also an antagonist, use their authority as LSPD officers to achieve their sinister ends.

The LSPD seems to host the only SWAT team in San Andreas as the Enforcers that appear when the player has a 4-star wanted level have LSPD markings on them regardless of the player's location.

Uniforms
LSPD officers wear a black shirt, black pants, black shoes and a golden shield badge. C.R.A.S.H. members wear the same uniform as above, except with an additional patch on the right arm. LSPD SWAT officers wear a dark blue long-sleeved shirt with a dark blue body armor, dark blue pants with a holster, black boots, dark blue gloves, black balaclava and a dark blue combat helmet with combat googles.

Vehicles
The Police car is the main vehicle of the LSPD. It is a modified Premier with a custom paint job and a light bar. The same vehicle is also issued to C.R.A.S.H. members. LSPD SWAT officers respond in the Enforcer when the player reaches a 4-star wanted level. LSPD officers may be also seen using the Predator around Los Santos waters. Also, the LSPD uses Police Maverick, HPV-1000 and S.W.A.T. in the missions like Reuniting the Families and End of the Line.

Weapons
Every patrol officer carries a pistol and a nightstick as their main weapons, although they will also use shotguns when the player has a 3-star or more wanted level. Additionally, officers are seen using SMGs during Reuniting the Families and Micro SMGs in End of the Line.

Police Stations
The department's headquarters sit adjacent to Los Santos City Hall in the Pershing Square district of Los Santos, San Andreas. This is where the player re-spawns after being arrested anywhere within Los Santos city limits.

There is another LSPD station in Verona Beach, unlike the other police stations, it does not serve as a spawn point after the player is arrested within Verona Beach.

While the LSPD does not have any jurisdiction in Red County, there is a police station just outside Los Santos in Dillimore, it shares the same interior as the LSPD headquarters, indicating it is a joint police station between the Los Santos Police Department and the San Andreas State Patrol, due to the town's close proximity.

Cut C.R.A.S.H. model
A cut C.R.A.S.H. model exists in the game files. Some people think that this is a beta model of Eddie Pulaski since the model's name is csplas1. This also may be a beta cutscene model for a generic C.R.A.S.H. member since the beta LSPD officer has almost the same appearance.

Vehicles

 * The LSPD markings on the HPV-1000 were cut.
 * The LSPD markings on the FBI Truck were cut.
 * The LSPD markings on the S.W.A.T. were cut.

Trivia

 * In the underground garage of the Los Santos Police Department headquarters, the player can witness police brutality in the form of one police officer repeatedly punching a random pedestrian model while a second officer taunts or cheers on. This set piece may be inspired by the real-life beating of Rodney King by the Los Angeles Police Department, which eventually triggered the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
 * , who would go on to voice act Dutch van der Linde in the  series, provided some voice lines for the LSPD officers.
 * In a beta screenshot, it is possible to see a blond officer, implying they were originally the main officer models before being replaced by the final models with black hair.
 * Curiously, LSPD officers in the Definitive Edition release of San Andreas wear HD Universe LSPD badges. This is a developer oversight, similar to the HD Universe LCPD patch being used for LCPD vehicles in the Definitive Edition of GTA III.
 * Interestingly, C.R.A.S.H. members still retain their 3D Universe-style badges, with the edition of enhanced badge textures.
