It was a sad day when I heard Chief Osborn was going to retire. He had been a massive part of the improvement within the Los Santos Police Department for several years. Having worked alongside him for a large portion of that time, I knew it was going to be a big loss and even bigger shoes to fill. When Osborn came to me and said he would be supporting me to take over as Chief of Police, I felt a mixture of different feelings. On the one hand I was very honored to be considered for such a hugely important role, but on the other hand I felt I would perhaps struggle to fill the void he was going to be leaving behind. There was a big aura of uncertainty to begin with. That said, I had a job a do.
After a meeting with Commissioner Carter where I was officially named as the next LSPD Chief, it was time to start putting my stamp on the department. The plan was never going to be to suddenly make masses of changes, it was always going to be a case of steadying the ship and slowly implementing improvements as we saw fit.
Around the same time Chief Osborn retired, the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department was opening up outside of the city. We had a number of officers transfer from the city over to the county to begin work with the department up there. This of course made things a little more complicated in terms of finding replacements to fill up important roles that needed to be consistently staffed for the successful daily operation of the LSPD. I knew I had a solid team around me though and with a little consideration, I feel we now have the right people in the right places for the department to continue to flourish.
So what happens now? Well as I said, no large changes would be coming in yet and we still have work to do to make sure the LSPD remains the best law enforcement agency in the country. I am happy with the direction things are going and I am confident that the future is bright for the City of Los Santos. Anything further down the line than that is still a mystery.
I want to thank everyone for their support so far and ask that you all continue doing the excellent work you have been doing.

- Police Officer III Robert Jeys was born in San Francisco, California. He was born to a normal family that loved him very much. In higher education he studied computer science at the state university until he reached the age of 23. During his education he made many friends and committed himself to his studies fully. After his graduation and the unfortunate loss of his parents Robert decided to travel across states to Los Santos in hope of making his mark on the world.
After arriving at the city, Officer Jeys began working low end jobs to cover his living costs. Although they were not the most fortuatus there were some occasions that he got to show off his talents with technology. The exposure to the city he received from this made him very aware of the high rates of crime in Los Santos. He decided to do something about it and applied for the Los Santos Police Department.
Since joining the department Robert has been an exemplary officer. He commits himself to his job and always has a smile on his face. More often than not Jeys can be found training other officers or taking point in general operations. Having recently progressed to the rank of Inspector in the traffic enforcement division and placed in charge of Traffic enforcement field training we are sure that he will do on to do big things in the department. We would all like to wish him the best of luck with his career and hope to keep on seeing that happy face around.

Statistics
During the month of July, there has been 56 total deployments. 14 of them were David Patrols, 12 passive deployments, and 30 Active Deployments. This means 54% of all S.W.A.T. Deployments in July were extreme situations. Compared to last month, the number of Active Deployments and Passive Deployments have remained fairly consistent however there has been a slight rise in serious situations that require SWAT personnel
We would like to send a reminder with regards to the importance of logging all types of deployment. If people are seen failing to log their deployments then warning will start to be administered.
Final Thoughts and Moving Forward
This month we saw the departure of many officers and supervisors in the department, many of which held a rank in SWAT. As a result applications were reopened allowing the addition of many new determined officers to join the ranks whom we hope to see excel in the division. Furthermore SWAT command has seen some dramatic changes also. SWAT Commander Enzo Buzzuto and SWAT Sergeant Harry Payne resigned from the department welcoming the promotion of Josh Paige to take lead of SWAT and continue from the hard efforts of Enzo. Paulo Witherfork was appointed the Assisting Commanding Officer of SWAT to work alongside Josh to help improve and run the division and both Victor Einhart and Phillipe Sanchez joined the command team holding the rank of SWAT Sergeant to aid in supervising the division. I would also like to congratulate Marco Davis on coming the new Director of Special Operations. We hope to see continuous improvement from within the division and thank you all for your hard work in ensuring the safety of your colleges and the citizens of Los Santos!

Los Santos Police DepartmentBasic Training - July Update
Basic training has seen its old Commanding Officer: Lieutenant Daniels Shelby resign from his command position, and I was appointed as Commanding Officer, with Police Officer III Scott Dunbar named as Assistant Commanding Officer shortly after.
I've been in the division for a rather long time now, and I have discussed quite a few drastic changes with ACO Dunbar, and our Bureau Coordinator. However, they are still being discussed, and as such, I wouldn't want to announce anything yet. If they do make it however, the next round of applicants will experience a totally different academy, and the changes will impact officers as well.
We are also looking into updating our divisional recruitment thread, to contain more information, and to hopefully bring two new instructors onto the team.
Sincerely,
Detective II Jason Steel,
Basic Training Division Commanding Officer,
Gangs and Narcotics Asst. Commanding Officer,
Investigations Bureau, Los Santos Police Department.Field Training Program - July Update
Dear Field Training Officers,
It's been no secret that July has seen many changes to the field training program both in personnel and format. I (Sergeant Sanchez) was appointed Commanding Officer of an extremely crucial division to the LSPD - the field training program. I was left with big boots to fill in Sergeant Wallace's departure but I hope that I am able to do half as good a job as he did and allow the program to thrive. Additions have been made to sessions so that cadets can gain more in-depth experience in their training and FTP command is always happy to receive feedback and values any input from any field training officer. This month, 11 FTOs were recruited and have been valued members of the team since joining.
Throughout the month of July, 117 unique FTP sessions and 35 formal observations were conducted meaning that there were over 150 formal interactions with cadets throughout July - Well done all!
Another big change to the FTP this month was that Detective Eleanor Quinn was appointed as the Assistant Commanding Officer of the division. Her promotion to ACO was a no-brainer for myself and high-command due to her high commitment to the division and her proficiency in paperwork pertaining to the progression of cadets. With her promotion to ACO saw her previous position (FTP Supervisor) open up which will be opened up for applications in the near future.
The month of June saw us introduce 11 new Field Training Officers into the Field Training Program.
- Police Officer II - Marcus Levonn
- Police Officer II - Audrey Sanchez
- Police Officer II - Oluntaji Osas
- Police Officer II - Lex Roth
- Police Officer II - Earnie Shavers
- Police Officer II - Mikael Cowell
- Police Officer II - Adam Williams
- Police Officer II - Jimmy Jonway
- Police Officer II - Zoey Deul
- Police Officer II - Cleetus Sanchez
- Police Officer II - Samuelle Colonna

For the month of June, the Field Training Program Command has decided to make Police Officer III Robert Jeys our Field Training Officer of the Month. This award entitles Officer Jeys to a salary bonus of $5000 (($50,000)) paid directly from the Commanding Officer of the Field Training Program.
Furthermore, this month, FTP Command are proud to present Police Officer III Scott Dunbar with the exemplary field training officer award due to his high levels of commitment to paperwork, feedback and critical assessment of cadets.
Be sure to congratulate both Police Officer III Dunbar and Jeys whenever you see them on duty.
Regards,
Sergeant II Phillipe Sanchez

Hello Investigators and Detectives, and welcome to the twelfth monthly update of the Investigations Bureau! With this update, we would like to introduce everyone to all changes and updates that have been made within the Bureau last month, as to let you all know and include you all in what is happening in the Bureau.
During the month of July, we have had several roster changes within the Investigations Bureau ranging from internal changes or promotions to Investigators or Detectives progressing through the ranks in the Police Department.
During the month of July, the following Investigators and Detectives have been promoted. Congratulations!
Police Officer III → 
Police Detective I
- Damien Blix
Police Detective I → 
Police Detective II
- Alex Keller
- Logan Cross
Police Commander → Deputy Chief of Police
- Elena Blake
- Ryan Torres
- Detective II Logan Cross has been appointed as the Assistant Commanding Officer of the Robbery Homicide Division.
- Detective II Xoza Shadow has been appointed as the Assistant Commanding Officer of the Detective Support and Vice Division.
Following a phase where the Detective Performance Reviews, which previously covered the self-evaluation forms filled in by Detectives of the Investigations Bureau, were reviewed, it was concluded that the system did not work as intended.
Whilst there are several reasons for the system not operating well, the most prominent reasons are the lack of feedback provided to the Detectives who sent in a self-evaluation form, the lack of activities that could be disclosed by Detectives themselves as some Detectives are more busy with other divisional duties than other Detectives, and the fact that it was a form that was filled in by Detectives themselves without fact-checking being done upon receiving of the self-evaluation form from the Detective, making it a rather flawed reviewing system that became abandoned.
Moving forward, self-evaluation forms will be decommissioned and no longer sent out. At the end of every month, Detectives will receive a performance review which consists of a summary of their statistics during that month, a short written summary about their general performance, what they have done well and what they could improve on. The statistics will focus on but are not limited to internal statistics, as such they will also include other things of importance, such as participation within the Field Training Program and so forth.
These Detective Performance Reviews will be sent out from August 2019 onward.
In July 2019, major changes were made to the Detective Training Program and the, then, Sergeant Training Program.
Detectives holding the rank of Detective I who are interested in becoming a supervisor-in-training will have to apply to the revamped Supervisor Training Program (previously; Sergeant Training Program). These applications will be reviewed by the Los Santos Police Department's Command Team, just as the Sergeant Training Program applications were reviewed.
What this means is that upon reaching the rank of Detective I, Detectives will no longer be a supervisor-in-training immediately. They have the choice to apply to the Supervisor Training Program to start their training as a supervisor and to progress through the ranks of the department. As such, Detectives have the choice to remain a Detective I to focus solely on the Investigations Bureau - this, however, does mean they will not be able to progress further up the ranks past Detective I.
This change was introduced to make the Detective Training Program a more smooth process. This allows us to internally focus on the Detective Evaluations, as Detectives will now partake in an already established Supervisor Training Program.
During the month of July:- A total of 8 cases have been opened.
- A total of 12 cases have been closed.
- A total of 8 cases are currently being actively investigated. (Excluding Gangs and Narcotics statistics)
- A combined total of 48 Investigation Patrol Logs have been posted.
- 2 Investigator has passed their Detective Evaluative Test.
- 1 Detective has passed the Supervisor Training Program.
On a final note, we would like to thank you all for reading through the twelfth monthly Investigations Bureau update post. We greatly appreciate all the work every single one of you puts in every day to make the Investigations Bureau successful.
Once again, congratulations to all those who got promoted, and keep up the good work!

We are looking to get these made for each month to let you all know what is happening within the division, and any upcoming changes to the division.

Roster changes
We have recently bought on several new pilots to the Junior Pilot Program. We would like to take this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to the following talented individuals:

We are planning on changes that will increase our ability to look over pilots performance more easily and in more detail as to reward the pilots who put in exceptional work into the division and give a nudge to those pilots who are under performing.
We are also looking at changing the training process of becoming a pilot. We hope to implement this in the near future.
There are a lot more changes we are going to make inside the division but we will notify you of them when we are ready to announce them.
This month we are going to congratulate Edward Sharp as our featured Pilot! He has logged a total of 20 hours in the month of July which is the highest of any pilot in the division and has always posted detailed flight logs. He has also recently been promoted to Pilot First Class for his efforts inside the division. For being the featured pilot this month he will receive a bonus of $25,000. Congratulations Edward Sharp, please see the Commanding Officer for your bonus.
I would like to remind all Junior Pilots that you are responsible for obtaining 10 flight hours and conducting your 10 hour flight check within 30 days to progress to Pilot. Junior Pilots not meeting this criteria will be removed and made to reapply when they have the time required to dedicate to the division. Several junior Pilots are eligible to schedule their ten hour flight check but have failed to do so.
On a last note, thank you all for reading this update for the Air Support Division for July 2019. Good job on the flight hours for the month of July, and we hope to see a better increase for August. Welcome to the team, all new members within the division!
