The Los Santos Police Department (LSPD) here at the New Team of Weapons and Tactics is tasked with maintaining public order in the virtual rendition of Los Angeles, known as Los Santos, within the Grand Theft Auto Online universe.
Operating as a standalone department within the New Team of Weapons and Tactics organization, officers and other members of the department promptly respond to emergency situations and offer a range of public safety services during online freemode sessions. Specialized services, including standalone police protection and protective custody, are available upon request. Moreover, in light of the closure of other departments, our officers also extend their assistance to civil matters such as transportation, fire rescue, and emergency medical aid.

Security Advisory Update - September 22, 2024
The Los Santos Police Department is pleased to announce that a recent update to the PC version of GTA Online has introduced a new third-party anti-cheat solution, BattlEye. This move marks a notable shift for Rockstar Games, who have traditionally relied on in-house methods to manage the persistent issue of cheating. While these previous efforts have had mixed success, particularly following the removal of key anti-cheat measures (as highlighted in our October 2022 Security Advisory), the introduction of BattlEye represents a potentially significant improvement.
Although BattlEye is not a new technology, this may be the first time Rockstar Games has directly integrated a dedicated third-party anti-cheat solution into one of their titles, entrusting an organization whose primary focus is combating cheating.

It has been some time since our last news update, and much has transpired in the interim. Unfortunately, the combined effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the substantial increase in cheating within GTA Online have presented significant challenges. Many officers of the Los Santos Police Department have transitioned to other consoles or games, seeking relief from the persistent frustrations caused by the rampant cheating epidemic.

Merge of Los Santos Police Department and Los Santos Sheriff's Department
Effective March 1, 2020, the Los Santos Sheriff's Department has merged with the Los Santos Police Department, forming a unified entity under the name Los Santos Police Department. This change, prompted by the unforeseen circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, aims to streamline operations.
Members of the Sheriff's Department may continue using their standard-issued uniforms, vehicles, and weapons. However, all future arrests and records will be managed by the Los Santos Police Department. Existing records have already been migrated.
Personnel may identify as part of either the Sheriff's Department or the Police Department based on preference, but all official records and paperwork will be under the Los Santos Police Department.
