    Monday:

    Armored Transport - Mission Row
    Following a code 1 situation at around 1230, a high-value target transport was conducted from Mission Row to Department of Corrections, Bolingbroke Penitentiary. Two suspects, gang-affiliated, were involved in an officer-related shooting in the vicinity of Legion Square. The scene was concluded after two suspects who were directly involved were apprehended and taken to Mission Row for further investigation. The developing situation required a higher level of security and, during the investigation, a high-value target transport convoy was formed. The two main suspects in direct association with the all-units-required situation were successfully transported to the Department of Corrections with the assistance of their very own specialized armed unit. One more individual was arrested during the transport for interfering and, following further evidence collection, it was confirmed that the individual causing the disturbance was associated to the two primary suspects. All three were charged with several misdemeanors.


    Tuesday:

    Attempted Grand Theft Auto - Calais Avenue
    At 1332, a call was made by a civilian stating she was conducting a civilian arrest on a person attempting to commit Grand Theft Auto. A unit of the Los Santos Police Department responded straight away to the scene and found the suspect on the ground being arrested by said civilian. Thanks to the fast coordination between the civilian and the police officer, the officer was able to determine quickly that the suspect had indeed been trying to steal the vehicle due to camera footage being available. The suspect was arrested and processed at Bolingbroke Penitentiary to serve their sentence.


    Wednesday:

    High Speed Pursuit Intercepted - Rockford Hills
    At 1910, a traffic unit stationed at Los Santos Customs got a hit on a license plate for an active warrant. The unit performed a 10-55 of the white 8F Drafter as it was leaving LSC, and called for an additional unit due to the warrant. Once the additional unit arrived and the driver was asked to leave the vehicle, the driver took off, and a pursuit was initiated. Due to the high top-end speed of the vehicle, and the extremely reckless nature of the driver, the lead unit lost visual as the suspect made a series of sharp turns in the Vespucci area. The lead unit called out the last known heading of the vehicle, and seconds later, a responding unit was able to locate the vehicle once again, and a third unit quickly backed them up. The helicopter unit gained visual as the suspect proceeded northbound and out of city limits.

    As the driver headed southbound on Great Ocean Highway, a unit located in the city quickly took initiative to set up a roadblock. The roadblock was effective and the suspect lost control of the vehicle and stalled it. The suspect drew a gun on officers as they stepped out of the vehicle, and officers immediately opened fire, taking the suspect down. No officers were hit in the process. The suspect was arrested and medical treatment was rendered. Following a trip to the hospital, the suspect was transported to Bolingbroke to serve several years for evading, reckless endangerment of the public, and shooting towards the officers.


    Thursday:

    Reckless Operation - Alta Street
    At 2148, units of the Los Santos Police Department received a call from a concerned civilian stating that a Gauntlet Hellfire was driving recklessly through Pillbox Hill. The first responding unit located the Gauntlet Hellfire and confirmed that they were indeed driving recklessly, clocking the driver doing at least 169 kilometers per hour. A traffic stop was performed after which the reckless driver was arrested swiftly, and the vehicle impounded. The driver was brought to the local police precinct, where he served a twenty-day jail sentence for his reckless driving.


    Friday:

    High-Speed Pursuit - Goma Street
    During the morning patrol, a sports car was causing a nuisance on an intersection off of Palomino Avenue, impeding traffic, withholding vehicle flow, and acting in an unruly manner. A traffic stop was initiated on Goma Street at Palomino Avenue, but the suspect took off soon after. A high-speed pursuit was initiated by traffic units. An air support unit was in the vicinity of the pursuit and was quick to establish visual. General patrol units coordinated a timely response. A high-speed interception unit was deployed to assist with the pursuit and easily maintained visual. The pursuit came to an end after the suspect vehicle crashed into the Los Santos River, which ultimately resulted in the suspect being apprehended. The suspect did not sustain any injuries, nor were any damages to public or private property ever recorded. The suspect was transported to DOC to face time for several felony charges.


    Saturday:

    Car Show - Bay City Avenue
    The Los Santos Police Department's very own Vinewood Traffic Division assisted with the realization of a car show on Bay City Avenue this Saturday, which was hosted by the Bayview Auto Center. Providing scene management and ensuring proper traffic flow, the Los Santos Police Department largely assisted in coordinating and managing the event. The event itself was a great success. No nuisances or issues occurred during the almost 2 hour-long show. Visitors had the chance to participate in a raffle, drifting arena and car show, all of which were overlooked and supervised by government and law enforcement officials. A great effort was made toward bettering the Los Santos community, finding the right time and place to set our differences and opinions aside to create a better, stronger and long-lasting bond between the people and the Department.


    Sunday:

    Shooter Apprehended - Del Perro
    At around 0700, a pursuit was initiated on a vehicle that refused to comply in a traffic stop. The pursuit lasted a very long time, during which the suspect attempted to swap vehicles multiple times. During one of those swaps, an accomplice arrived and open fired on an officer, injuring them, before making their escape. The officer was given medical attention, and the original suspect was apprehended, while the shooter was still at large.

    After quite some time, a person matching the shooter's description was spotted. A felony stop was conducted to provide safety for the officers and ensure a peaceful investigation. The suspect was found to have firearms on them. After extensive testing, detectives were able to match the firearm with the weapon used in the shooting. The suspect was convicted for attempted murder of a Law Enforcement Officer and was incarcerated at Bolingbroke Penitentiary.
