    Chief of Police Alex Donnelly and Assistant Chief of Police Elena Blake are pleased to announce a number of new appointments within the Command Staff of the Los Santos Police Department, with the promotion of the Department's three current Commanders to the prestigious position of Deputy Chief of Police, and the welcoming of two new Police Lieutenants as an addition to the Los Santos Police Department's Command Officers.

    • Deputy Chief of Police Phillipe Sanchez was appointed as the Director of the Police Training Bureau on the 26th of March 2020, following the restructuring of the Los Santos Police Department in the first quarter of the year, and has served the Department as a Police Commander since the 8th of May, 2020. Deputy Chief Sanchez initially enrolled and passed the Police Academy on the 6th of August 2018, before taking a step back from his training and resigning from the Department for a brief period, until his return and passing of his second Police Academy on the 11th of November, 2018. Deputy Chief Sanchez was a quick learner, which became apparent when he passed the Field Training Program a mere six days after enrolling, the very training program he later set out to become the Commanding Officer of. He has a clear passion for the training processes surrounding the Department and its employees and had a significant impact on these processes, which is one of the many reasons why he has been promoted to this prestigious position.

      Deputy Chief of Police Scott Dunbar was promoted to the rank of Police Captain on the 19th of April 2020, following his appointment as the Director of the Special Operations Bureau. He was later promoted to Police Commander and appointed as a Staff Officer of the Los Santos Police Department on the 21st of June, 2020. Deputy Chief Dunbar initially enrolled in the Police Academy on the 17th of April 2019, starting his field training which he completed on the 5th of May, 2019. Ever since joining the Los Santos Police Department, Deputy Chief Dunbar has shown a great passion for any matters relating to Special Operations, which became evident when he rapidly worked his way up to become the Assistant Commanding Officer of our Special Weapons and Tactics Division before he was appointed the Director of the Special Operations Bureau. Under his supervision, the Special Weapons and Tactics Division has restricted to the Metropolitan Division which has created more paths of progression for our employees. We believe that, under Deputy Chief Dunbar's supervision, the state of Special Operations is the best it has been in a long time.

      Deputy Chief of Police Xoza Shadow was appointed as the Director of the Investigations Bureau on the 5th of April 2020, following the appointment of Chief Blake, the former Director of the Investigations Bureau, as the new Assistant Chief of Police. A month later, he was promoted to the rank of Police Commander and appointed as a Staff Officer of the Los Santos Police Department on the 5th of May, 2020. Deputy Chief Shadow enrolled in the Police Academy on the 3rd of September 2018, beginning his field training which he completed on the 16th later that month. It had always been clear that Deputy Chief Shadow had a passion for anything investigations-related, which was later reaffirmed when he joined the Investigations Bureau on the 1st of February 2019, beginning his training to become a Police Detective. Under the supervision of Deputy Chief Shadow, we have seen the creation of the Gang Field Unit, providing both assistance to the Gang and Narcotics Detectives of the Los Santos Police Department, and an alternative path of progression through the Department for our employees.

      Police Lieutenant Dezzy Bala is the current Commanding Officer of both the Vespucci Patrol Division, and the Field Training Division under Deputy Chief Phillipe Sanchez, which houses our Field Training Program. He is responsible for overseeing the training process of our academy graduates enrolling in the training program as Cadets, and maintaining the quality of both the Field Training Officers of the Department and the curriculum offered to our future Police Officers. Lieutenant Bala has time and time again shown his passion for training, and most importantly, the quality of training. Under Lieutenant Bala's supervision, the Field Training Program has recently undergone a major revision, setting out to have specific training sessions based on specific topics, creating a clearer process to follow for our Cadets.

      Police Lieutenant Lex Roth is the current Commanding Officer of the Gang and Narcotics Division of the Los Santos Police Department. Lieutenant Roth, as a Police Detective, has on more than one occasion proven to be a qualified leader for our Gang and Narcotics Detectives with a clear goal in mind; the reduction of gang-related incidents and violence in the state of San Andreas, one that Lieutenant Roth and his team strive to achieve every day.
    We would like to congratulate our newly appointed Deputy Chiefs and Lieutenants on their new and well-deserved positions. In the Los Santos Police Department, we believe that advancement opportunities are of importance, and should be available and obtainable, as evident in the recent efforts to create more paths of progression for all employees of the Department. The five long-serving individuals of the Department that have been promoted are not only committed to their positions but also qualified and deserving. We wish them the best of luck in settling into their new positions!
