Opening Message
Welcome to the July 2023 Press Release!
It has been another incredibly busy month at SADOC however the month started out like any other. We were called to assist in multiple CERT situations in the city, trying to retrieve multiple stolen LEO vehicles and even a few shootouts.
We were also given the opportunity to take over LSSD DPB's Parole and have been very hard at work behind the scenes to ensure that SADOC Parole is up to Governors standards before opening it to perspective parolees. There will be a press release on this in the future however we feel that due to our experience with the FRD program, we have the structure and capabilities to make Parole great.

Divisional Spotlight - Groundskeeping
What is Groundskeeping?
The Groundskeeping Division is responsible for ensuring the upkeep, maintenance, and integrity of the Department of Corrections and its grounds. The continued upkeep of the Department of Corrections is essential in ensuring that the day-to-day functions continue to run smoothly, whilst also maintaining a safe environment for Officers and inmates alike.
Groundskeeping is a varied task at the Department of Corrections and some days may entail repairing doors, cracked walls, and blown power sockets, but it can also range to other less thought of activities such as cutting the grass, computer systems maintenance, and even basic cleaning duties. Every task undertaken by Groundskeeping is meaningful in keeping the facilities to the highest standard possible.
Our Groundskeepers progress through the division and acquire a large depth of knowledge in upkeep. Ensuring the Department of Corrections is in tip-top shape, indirectly contributes to the state by ensuring the continuance of a government department but also at times, the specialities of the division are called upon to assist the state directly. On occasion, the Groundskeeping Division has been called on to help repair key infrastructure areas across the state in times of emergency and is a testament to the utility and expertise of our Groundskeeping Correctional Officers.
Cutting grass with a full 4 horsepower!
What Tools Do Groundskeeping Have?
The varied nature of the work that the Groundskeeping Division undertakes means they have access to a host of different tools and vehicles. The division has its own groundskeeping shed with a smorgasbord of tools and handheld equipment that can be utilised to undertake their duties. Some of the most important equipment contained by the Groundskeepers is their safety equipment, which is essential in keeping our Officers protected at all times when undertaking their duties.
Groundskeeping Correctional Officers can at times take advantage of some of the common vehicles available to most officers, such as the CaraCara, but they also host a small but important arsenal of specialized vehicles to help with their duties; a Lawnmower, Tractor, and a Cherry Picker. Each of these vehicles have a specific utilization and are used effectively to assist in duties by the Groundskeeping team.
Look at those perfectly pruned trees!
Message From The Head Groundskeeper of GroundskeepingCaptain Rock Paz wrote:
Greetings everybody!! My name is Captain Rock Paz, and I am the Head of Grounds keeping for the SADOC here coming at ya!
When I think of our division, I feel it is one of great importance to the SADOC for many reasons. Not only for the Grounds keeping work itself done to make sure the grounds are upkept, but because it also provides a home to a lot of newer Officers to learn from, and grow, as it is one of the divisions that you are able to join early in your career at CO1, and you can gain experience with different vehicles, and facilities right away.
The current Command team, made up of Galileo, Gavin, and Alex, has been crucial in leading our division to greater heights as we take on more difficult tasks, and gain other Grounds keeping Officers to add to our team. They work everyday on guiding, and mentoring everyone on ways to become great Officers like themselves!
Thank you for having me! I will exit my spotlight with you all today, with a quote that I am reminded of when I think about Grounds keeping:
"..Mankind knew that they cannot change society.. so instead of reflecting on themselves.. they blamed the beasts.."

Inmate of the Month
Kira Vaeseri
- Note: In the interest of transparency, and being able to allow inmates to represent themselves this interview is direct quotes from the interviewed inmate and their quotes do not represent the SADOC's views and beliefs.
- Why do you do illegal things?
- Protests do not bring about change, but high calibre people do, and The Underground will continue to push resistance, until PD respects our existence.
- What's your favourite thing about DOC?
- DOC is my home away from home, it's a safe haven away from the corruption of the LSPD.
- What's your least favourite thing?
- Lockdown, lockdowns are a 0/10 time. Kourtney please do away with lockdowns.
- If you could change one thing about DOC, what would it be?
- I feel that all of Underground should get at least one pass for stomping out a fellow inmate that deserves the smoke.
- What would you do if you were Warden for a day?
- Simply free everyone, and then maybe use the DOC TARV's to convoy and bring the fight to Mission Row.
- Is there someone or something you miss while being in jail?
- DOC is a continuous reminder of Tadd Vaeseri. I miss my best friend everyday, but his memory lives on within the DOC.
- Why do you think you're in here so often?
- As a proud member of The Underground, we fight for freedom of the people against LEO's at whatever means possible. I'll continue to take the fight against the LSPD so long as I live, even if that lands me in DOC.
- Is there anything you'd like to tell people?
- The Underground are here to stay, and systemic corruption will continue to be the enemy. Per my last Inmate of the Month interview, LSPD can still catch these hands.

SADOC CERT
SADOC CERT Deployed to the City
- CERT Officers Collaborate with SD in Successful City Retake Mission
Due to the nature of this event, specific details of the situation and the response of SADOC CERT and other departments will not be included in this release and will remain confidential.
- Operative: Randy Lee
- Operative: Nathaniel Ford
- Operative: Remmi Raccoon
- Operative: Kopi Raccoon
- Operative: Rose Mikasa
Los Santos, - In a remarkable joint effort, the Crisis Emergency Response Team (CERT) collaborated with the local law enforcement agency, the Sheiff Department (SD), to successfully reclaim the city from a local gang “The Underground”, which took place on 07/11/23 involved dedicated CERT officers and SD personnel working seamlessly together to restore order and ensure the safety of the citizens.
CERT officers Randy Lee, Nathaniel Ford, Remmi Raccoon, Kopi Raccoon, Rose Mikasa, and Kourtney Lafleur, operating under the rank of Operator, played pivotal roles in the operation. The team deployed a range of weapons, including the .50 caliber pistol , MRK 2 Shotgun, and 9mm SMG, to apprehend the offenders and maintain public safety.
The situation unfolded as follows:
In response to a desperate call for assistance from SD, CERT officers sprang into action. With a clear mission to reclaim a stolen SD Tactical Armored Rescue Vehicle (TARV) and Scout, the team promptly mobilized. Using their expertise, CERT officers deployed three Kamachos and headed towards the Police impound, where the stolen vehicles were last seen.
Once on-site, CERT officers faced off against the notorious underground figure, Wolfgang, who was lured by an ingenious car alarm tactic. Engaging in a high-speed pursuit, CERT officer Remmi Raccoon skillfully forced the stolen scout to come to a halt, leading to the successful apprehension of two individuals involved.
The determination of the CERT team did not end there. After returning to DOC (Department of Corrections), CERT officers, in collaboration with SD, continued their relentless pursuit of TARV. Their intuition proved correct when they headed north to Bayview, and with exceptional tactical driving skills, they successfully apprehended Melody Frey and her two accomplices, all connected to the underground faction.
Subsequently, CERT officers brought the three apprehended individuals to DOC, and the situation was swiftly handled and designated as "Code 10-99."
The joint effort of CERT and SD showcases the effectiveness of collaboration between law enforcement agencies in addressing complex situations. The successful retaking of the city reflects the commitment of our dedicated officers to maintain peace and security in our community.

"A TRADITION OF SERVICE"
- Usually, my shift is early mornings which is mostly quiet and peaceful. However, Friday the 14th was different as I clocked on duty and heard Sergeant Cliff Derringer calling me to assist in a J-TAC situation regarding a mass gang activity in the city. The loss of multiple units and their cruisers was reported earlier (including SED Tarvs).
I quickly grabbed my gear and headed to Davis Station which was our initial rally point. Once I arrived, I witnessed SADOC CERT units being present, providing us with decent numbers and heavy weaponry. Honestly, I felt relieved when I saw how ready CERT units are to roll into action.
There were apparently two gang hot spots, the Pier and Burgershot. Going undercover, first I scouted the area, ensured it was all safe and secure and then I found the two stolen cruisers. Meanwhile, other units found the SED Tarv which was on the loose and it was force stopped with the help of a CERT Tarv. All stolen cruisers were retrieved and sent back to our garage for further inspections and 5 suspects were put behind bars.
All in all, we managed to safely secure the cruisers and arrest our suspects, and it's safe to say this wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for DOC and their specialized units. I would like to use this opportunity and thank every CERT unit that helped us even the odds, you guys rock!
