    Yet another month has swung past us, and the Los Santos Police Department face new challenges. Our tourism has decreased to a manageable level, but we face the issue of organized crime in Los Santos. Over the past few weeks, our Investigations Bureau has concluded that there's an illegal gang war in Los Santos, one which we cannot recover from unless you put an end to it. The Los Santos Police Department is working closely with the Commissioner's Office and the Los Santos Government to come up with a solution to this problem, recently, the Commissioner's have been talking about enforcing the RICO act (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) which would give the Los Santos Police Department the upper-hand and possibly prevent further violence. I am asking that citizens remain vigilant and call 911 should you spot an unusual gathering, or hear something unusual, and I am asking my officers to remain safe in the field, prioritize safety above all else.

    To combat the drastic increase of gun-related crimes, the Los Santos Police Department have been working together with the Los Santos Government as gun laws have been tightened. We saw the introduction of the Firearms and Licensing Division mid-April, and I must say, we are very pleased with the effect that this has caused and the significant decrease in gun-related crimes it has resulted in. Many concerned citizens have raised questions about whether their second amendment is being violated, which it isn't. The right to bear arms is a privilege for our law-abiding citizens, federal law already defines unlawful acts (ref. 18 U.S. Code § 922. Unlawful acts). The Los Santos Police Department will continue the battle as we seek to exponentially lower the rate of gun-related crimes even further.

    I'd also like to give special recognition to our Recruitment & Employment Division, Basic Training Division, and Field Training Program. This month we saw one of the biggest recruitment drives that the Los Santos Police Department has ever had, bringing in over 40 new Cadets in a single month. This has put a lot of pressure on our Field Training Program and its officers, however, they have handled it surprisingly well. The Field Training Program is important to the development of a good officer, and it's the foundation which the Los Santos Police Department stands on. I am very proud of what we've accomplished, and I can only see a bright future for the Department moving forward.

    I would also like to recognize and congratulate Commander Elena Blake, who on April 17th assumed the position of Commander. Commander Blake is a veteran of the Los Santos Police Department and she has led our Investigations Bureau since September 2018. During her tenure, we've seen significant improvements to the Bureau all throughout, and an increased interest in it. I hope that Commander Blake and her personnel continues on the same path and that they are able to put a stop to this recent increase of gang-related crimes.

    Moving onto the month of May, we're officially one month away from summer. Remember to keep yourself hydrated, look after one another and be vigilant. The heat can cause issues which results in unexpected events. The Department has no major changes planned for the month of May, we hope that everything will continue as smooth as it has been.

  • Micky Reefer was born July 15th, 1973 in the United Kindom in a place called Dagenham in east London. In 1980 at the age of 7, he moved over to Los Santos with his family where they applied for citizenship to become permanent residents. He attended & graduated from Los Santos High School in 1990, and continued his education at the University of Los Santos where he obtained a Bachelor of Science in Administration. Micky is divorced and has 3 children who live in Liberty City Micky currently resides in West Vinewood.

    Having begun his career in the Paleto Bay Sheriffs Department, Micky transferred to the Los Santos Police Department on June 7th, 2017. He worked a variety of precincts within the General Operations Bureau as a police officer, which included Rampart Precinct, 77th Precinct, and Vinewood Precinct. His assignments included frank patrol detail, patrol officer, field training officer, and recruitment officer. After a period of time with the General Operations Bureau, he applied for and was accepted into the Investigations Bureau, where he started off as an Investigator and was eventually promoted to Detective after successful completion of the Detective Training Program. Here he worked a variety of different cases from smaller theft crimes all the way up to major gang-related activity within the Detective Support and Vice Division as well as the Gang and Narcotics Division.

    On November 12th, 2017, Micky was promoted to Sergeant II where he left the Investigations Bureau and moved back to the General Operations Bureau to focus on working with the Recruitment and Employment Division within the Los Santos Police Department. He also applied and became a part of the Air Support Division as an X-Ray unit, flying the LSPD Maverick Helicopter.

    On the 5th December 2017, he was promoted to Lieutenant and became a member of the Command Division in the General Operations Bureau where he also took a temporary role as the Vinewood Precinct Watch Commander. His role was to monitor and evaluate all the officers and patrol sergeants within that precinct.

    He was promoted to Captain on February 28th, 2018 and appointed as the Recruitment and Human Resources Commanding Officer, which is part of the Administrative Services Bureau within the Office of Support Services. His role here was to work on all the recruitment process involving new applicants within the department as well as the internal side of the administration which involved officer promotions, demotions, suspensions, discharges and all the paperwork which came along with it.

    On the 4th August 2018, he was promoted to the rank of Police Commander and became a member of the department High Command. He is currently the Administrative Services Bureau Coordinator where he oversees everything involving the Recruitment, Employment, and Administration within the Los Santos Police Department. Micky also works closely with the Police Training Bureau to ensure a smooth transition for new applicants to move onto their Police Academy training.

    After spending 5 months as a Police Commander and the Administrative Services Bureau Coordinator, due to Deputy Chief Crosby's retirement, Micky was promoted to the rank of Deputy Chief of Police and appointed as Director of the Office of Support Services in Chief Crosby's stead. This meant extra responsibility as now he was not only the head of the Administrative Services Bureau, but he was also given the task of fully overseeing the Police Training Bureau. This consisted of both the Basic Training Division and the Advanced Training Division.

    The police department has slowly gone from strength to strength and with such a large influx of new officers the Chief of Police Samuel Osborn needed a right hand man to help him with the overall operations of the department. This included help with big decisions as well as staff management. On March 26th 2019, after the Chief had a discussion with the board of commissioners, Mick was offered the position as the Assistant Chief of Police (Chief of Staff) within the Los Santos Police Department. Having shared many similar views on the direction the department should be heading, both the Chief of Police and the Chief of Staff will work closely side by side to make sure that the LSPD becomes one of the best and most respected departments in the US. The plan is to make sure the LSPD function at the highest possible level, more so than anything seen before in the department's history.

    Police Officer II Victor Einhart joined the Los Santos Police Department after serving 9 years in the United States Military serving in the 7th Cavalry Regiment, stationed in Fort Hood, Texas. There, his occupation was that of an Airborne Weapons Infantryman which he was in charge of. There, he holding the rank of Sergeant, specialized with deploying equipment to active battles from airborne support services. Equipment that Officer Einhart was responsible for reinforcing included, Heavy Machine Guns, Grenade Launchers, Wire-guided Missiles, Mortars, and other explosives.
    With the extensive training that Officer Einhart was given he was capable of parachuting from C-130 Aircrafts and UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.

    After finishing his military service, Officer Einhart moved to the City of Los Santos searching for a new career. Beginning his life in Los Santos as a bus driver, Officer Einhart soon noticed how many people were constantly breaking the law. Officer Einhart eventually joined the Los Santos Police Department on the 17th of February in order to assist the fight against crime and make sure all citizens of Los Santos are safe. Shortly after joining the department, Officer Einhart progressed to the rank of Police Officer I, soon after reaching the rank of a Police Officer II. Currently, he's a proud member of both the Field Training Program Division and Special Weapons and Tactics Division.

    Officer Einhart is a great example of an Officer, he's an active and friendly member of the department, always assisting when needed. He is a walking handbook and a very skilled operative within the Special Weapons and Tactics Division. We wish him the best of luck with his future endeavors and wish him good luck in the Sergeant Training Program which he wishes to join, or the Detective Training Program if he wishes to take that path instead.

    Division Updates

    Statistics
    During the month of March, there has been 119 total deployments across 17 people. 16 of them were David Patrols, 21 Passive Deployments, and 82 Active Deployments. This means 69% of all S.W.A.T. Deployments in March were extreme situations. This is our second month tracking a month at a time. Compared to last month, the number of Active Deployments and Passive Deployments rose, while the number of David patrols dropped by over 50%.



    Final Thoughts and Moving Forward

    I believe we have been doing well as a division in the last month and we are working on improving team work within the division and how efficient we are, again moving onto required training's of which some have taken place but will have more. We are also moving on with trying to remove all heavy weaponry from the streets. Due to the attack on the supervisor meeting we will be improving response times and how we tackle people in the streets and neighbourhoods. So expect training around this soon.

    Thank you all for your hard work and dedicating your lives to protect the civilians of Los Santos.

    Air Support Division Update - April 2019
    "TO PROTECT AND SERVE"

    Hello Pilots!
    Welcome to the Eighth update of the Air Support Division where we would like to introduce you all to the updates within the division for the month of April. 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. We hope this will help to include you all more, and inform you of changes prior to them happening, so you can all come forward with suggestions of things that you all would like to see change within the Air Support Division.

    Roster changes
    We have not received any new applications for Junior Pilots in the Month of April.

    The following Pilots resigned or been removed from the Air Support Division and we thank them for their service to the division.
    • Freyja Rias
    • Thomas Bennet
    • James Dickson
    The following promotions have also happened within the month of April. Congratulations to the following Pilots, and remember to reach out to a Senior Pilot or higher and schedule the Junior Pilot Examination with them if you have reached the requirement of 10 flight hours and feel ready to take on the test.

    • Freyja Rias | Junior Pilot -> Pilot
    Division Information

    In the near future we are looking to bring out a Civilian Aviation License program.

    We will be looking to revamp the Tactical Pilot Program in the near future to enable members of ASD to better assist the LSPD and the people of Los Santos. In particular, this will be beneficial for Pilots who are interested in helping out with S.W.A.T. Operations. We will keep you updated once more information is available.

    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 April 2019. Good job on the flight hours for the month of April, and we hope to see a better increase for May. Welcome to the team, all new members within the division!

    Field Training Program April Update
    Image
    Dear Field Training Officers,

    It has once again been a very busy month for the Field Training Program and Field Training Officers. We have, for the first time ever, consecutively broken the record for the number of FTP sessions being conducted each month, with this month being the most of all time and we at the same time saw the largest introduction of Cadets to the department in a very long time, with over 40 Cadets at one point.

    Once again, I am very happy with many of the Field Training Officers performance, with plenty of FTOs putting in astonishing effort and generally the workload has been shared across the board and with that I'd like to welcome our new Field Training Officers.

    Image

    The month of April saw us introduce nine new Field Training Officers into the Field Training Program, the largest expansion of the roster in quite some time. I'd like to welcome:
    • Police Officer II Cleetus Sanchez
    • Police Officer II Eleanor Quinn
    • Police Officer II Tom Fredrico
    • Police Officer II Matthieu Rey
    • Police Officer II Victor Einhart
    • Police Officer III Alex Keller
    • Police Officer II Kristofer Avens
    • Police Officer II John Martinez
    • Police Officer II Richard Langston
    Image

    For the month of April a total of one-hundred-forty-one unique sessions were completed (this is not including repeats). This is the new record, beating the previous record set last month by fifteen FTPs. This month also saw the promotion of nineteen Cadets to the rank of Police Officer I, again a record for the program and ten more than the previous month. With that I'd like to congratulate the following Officers on passing the Field Training Program and becoming fully fledged Police Officers:
    • Jack Bowers
    • Blake Cross
    • Edward Sharp
    • Audrey Sanchez
    • James Kelly
    • Cleetus Sanchez
    • Kyle Bran
    • Kevin Blackburn
    • Pavel Reznikov
    • James Foreli
    • Mikey Johnson
    • Tyrannodale Bronson
    • Robert Jeys
    • Shen Wong
    • Matthew Michelson
    • Ollie Higgins
    • Chris Carwyn
    • Gary Hunter
    • Jordan Stephenson

    Picking this months Field Training Officer was quite difficult, because of the excellent effort from so many Field Training Officers. However, this months ward will be issued to Police Officer III Chloe Bailey who is now entitled to collect her bonus of $5,000 (($50,000)) from the Commanding Officer of the Field Training Program.

    Police Officer III Chloe Bailey has conducted a total of 17 FTPs for the month of April and has demonstrated very good effort in her FTO duties since becoming a Field Training Officer.

    Once again congratulations to Police Officer III Chloe Bailey, however there was great effort from many FTOs this month and all of your efforts do not go unnoticed.


    Regards,
