The Los Santos Police Department (LSPD) is the law enforcement agency serving the city of Los Santos. With over 12,000 sworn officers and thousands more civilian staff, it is one of the largest metropolitan police departments in the United States. 

Divisions and Resources

The LSPD consists of numerous divisions and resources coordinating to police a vast, densely populated urban landscape.

  • Patrol Bureau - Uniformed officers responding to calls across 21 area divisions.
  • Traffic Bureau - Traffic enforcement and accident investigations on city streets.
  • Detectives Bureau - Investigating crimes from robbery to homicide to organized crime.
  • Counter-Terrorism Bureau - Preventing and responding to threats of extremist violence.
  • Special Operations Bureau - Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT), harbor patrol, K9, air support and other specialized teams.

The department operates 50 stations, 9 helicopters, 300+ patrol cars, armored vehicles, and a vast arsenal of tactical equipment in serving a city of over 5 million. Advanced systems like ShotSpotter gunshot detection assist efforts.

Challenges

An evolving metropolitan landscape poses continual challenges ranging from cybercrime to police accountability. 

LSPD leadership contends reform requires long-term investments in training, technologies and progressive policies prioritizing de-escalation over confrontation.
