Police Officer III Phillip Mahone
Police Officer III Phillip Mahone joined the Los Santos Police Department on the sixth of May, 2021 after successfully graduating Academy Class #194 of which he is the only officer left. Phillip was promoted to Police Officer I in early June of 2021. Officer Mahone briefly left the force in July of 2021, however, he was reinstated to the force in late September 2021. He quickly made his way back from Cadet back to Police Officer I meeting the needed requirements within just five days. He was upgraded to Police Officer II following a month of dedication and staggering performance where he showed everything a capable Police Officer should. Continuing to exceed expectations week after week, Phillip was upgraded to Police Officer III in January of this year. Officer Mahone always has a friendly demeanor and is one to always reach out and assist others.
Officer Mahone earned his award not only with an above-average patrol level performance but with dedication to his divisions, going above and beyond, as a Pilot in the Air Support Division and showing strong work and leadership within the Recruitment and Employment Division. This award serves as a congratulation for the universal commitment that Phillip has displayed throughout his career despite all and any adversity he has faced. We would all like to congratulate Officer Mahone on a fantastic month and hope to see him progress further!

FEATURED EMPLOYEE
-
- Police Officer III Joseph Sanchez joined the Los Santos Police Department on the 25th of July, 2021, part of Academy #199. He grew up in a quaint part of Long Island, New York, and had what he described as a relatively normal childhood. He never felt challenged at school or in any particular field. However, as he grew up, he felt the need to branch his wings once he graduated High School. Joseph shortly settled roots elsewhere, moving to the city of Los Santos. He started out by picking up odd jobs here and there until settling down in a job as a mechanic.
- -
After feeling more comfortable in the city and county he ended up working for the Bayview Auto Center. Joseph got his hands dirty enjoying his time there not only working on cars but working with friends. After almost ten months he had made his way from the ground up and was involved in many supervisor positions, a few of which he still holds. Officer Sanchez is still doing a lot of administration work at Bayview, especially with Public Relations and Management. Since his time in the city, especially Bayview, he would experience some sort of criminal activity be it near home or at his job. He said he realized that there were just way too many criminals in the area, especially the city. Shortly thereafter Joseph put himself forward to prevent crime on the forefront and applied to the Los Santos Police Department.
- Joseph remembers first joining the Department and starting as an officer he seemed a bit overwhelmed by the amount of information as a cadet. However thanks to the training, his time, and his dedication, he feels all the protocols and departmental procedures are just second nature now. He has become an excellent Officer, coming around to working within the Recruitment and Employment Division to assist prospective members in their applications and training. Officer Sanchez made his way up through the ranks fairly quickly and started to focus on the Air Support Division and Metropolitan Divisions of the Police Department. He was able to achieve the rank of Police Officer III in late January and is thrilled with the opportunities that it has opened for him.
-
Police Officer III Joseph Sanchez wrote: I’m personally a fan of all the opportunities that have opened up as a Police Officer III and reaping the rewards of the department, so to say, being a part of Metro, being an instructor in Air Support and just a whole bunch of things that have come with my time in the LSPD. I plan to continue serving as a member of Metro and not only that but I look to increase my work within the Air Support Division. Those are the two Divisions that I am very dedicated to. I see myself becoming a more senior member of the Metro Division and helping out the new probationaries and those following in my footsteps.
- -
In addition to his love for his divisions, Joseph is very eager and happy about his time serving as a member of the Recruitment and Employment Division. He regularly is working as an Academy Instructor, doing interviews or helping screen applications for employment. Officer Sanchez loves his work and especially his divisional work! He just became a full member within the Metropolitan Division and is easily one of the biggest contributors to the Air Support Division, working as a pilot instructor. We wish you the best of luck in the Division and in your future endeavors!
