Los Santos County Sheriff

The Los Santos County Sheriff's Department (LSSD) is the local county law enforcement operating in Los Santos County, San Andreas. The Los Santos County Sheriff is based on the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The LSSD also seem to have jurisdiction to operate in Blaine County. It is unknown why their units patrol Blaine County, since it is a different county. The county sheriff can be found doing traffic enforcement along the Great Ocean Highway, Senora Freeway, and Senora Way.

Trivia

 * Their badge features a beaver in the center, instead of the bear that's in the center of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's badge.
 * The sheriff's offices in Blaine County belong to the Los Santos Sheriff's Department as their units patrol the area and there is a flag atop of the buildings bearing the LSSD's badge.
 * On rare occasions, one or two cars may respond to something the player does, along with the LSPD, when at Vespucci Beach. This is likely just a glitch.
 * LSSD deputies have country accents, unlike the LSPD who have more urban accents.
 * The unnamed sheriff for the LSSD makes his only appearance during the The Paleto Score mission. He is presumably killed in the mission.
 * The abbreviation of the Los Santos Sheriff (LSSD) is similar to the abbreviation used by the drug Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).
 * Occasionally while pursing NPCs or the player, LSSD deputies will erroniously be given LSPD voice lines and announce themselves as such. This appears to frequently happen with female deputies.
 * Like the LSPD, the LSSD has both male and female officers. The female officers seem to spawn more frequently than the LSPD.
 * When deputies wear body armor, it reads "Police" as opposed to "Sheriff". This is likely a developer oversight.
 * The Paleto Bay Sheriff's Office was enterable in the beta version.
