Chief of Police Alex Donnelly and Assistant Chief of Police Elena Blake are pleased to announce a new appointment within the Staff Officers of the Los Santos Police Department, with the promotion of Commander Lex Roth to the prestigious position of Deputy Chief of Police
-- Deputy Chief of Police Lex Roth passed his Supervisor Training Program and was promoted to the rank of Detective II in early February of 2020 - after completing the Detective Training Program and assuming the rank of Detective I in early November of 2019. Deputy Chief Roth found his specialization in the Detective Bureau, the then Investigations Bureau which he has, and it is safe to say, improved on an incomparable level as a Detective, and the Commanding Officer of the Gang and Narcotics Division - a division which on its own is one of the most demanding to run in the Department. In retrospect, Deputy Chief Roth assumed the rank of Police Cadet on the 17th of April, 2019 after completing the Academy. Deputy Chief Roth paved a path for a lot of current Detectives, and following his step up from Detective III to Police Lieutenant - Deputy Chief Roth solidified himself as one of the most prominent figures the Bureau has ever seen.
Following a restructure in late February of 2021, Deputy Chief Roth was redesignated to a Police Captain - a Command Staff position while remaining assigned to the Gang and Narcotics Division which he has led for the greater part of his career. Deputy Chief Roth is a member of the Internal Affairs Division which closely works with the Office of the Chief of Police, and prior to his reassignment to Director of the Detective Bureau following his promotion to Police Commander in early January of 2022, he is now a fully-fledged Staff Officer. In terms of accolades, Deputy Chief Roth is known for his well-roundedness - now operating between the Robbery-Homicide Unit, Vice Unit, and Gang and Narcotics Division, Deputy Chief Roth was recognized for his efforts in the Detective Bureau with the prestigious Detective Recognition Award, and most recently, the Meritorious Service Award - an award very few have. Following strenuous investigative duties Deputy Chief Roth orchestrated the largest ever seizure of narcotics in Department history, and in tandem with the Judicial Branch, brought the Department the first-ever asset seizure.
