History
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Los Santos Police Department has been opened first as a volunteer force that has assisted Red County and Flint County and was named as 'The Los Santos Rangers', in 1853. The creation of what loosely may be called the City’s first Police Department resulted from a murder that has accured in 1853. The victim was Jack Whaling, the community’s second City Marshal. His killer met death at the hands of a bounty hunter. This prompted the City’s first "Chief," Dr. A.W. Hope, to organize "The Los Santos Rangers," who volunteered to assist the beleaguered County Sheriff and Marshal. The Rangers were identified by a white ribbon bearing the imprint in both English and Spanish "City Police - Authorized by the Council of Los Santos."
"The Los Santos City Guards," who, during their short-lived career, were attired in the City’s first official police uniform, succeeded the Rangers. Like the Rangers, their effectiveness was questionable. Murders were occurring at the rate of one a day, many resulting from differences of opinion voiced within the City’s 400 gambling halls. The first paid force was created in 1869 when six officers were hired and paid out of funds collected, for the most part, from fines and fees. They were led by City Marshal William C. Warren. In 1875 the first horse patrol trotted down the unpaved streets. Personnel were paid $95 a month for their services, $5 more than the foot patrolmen and only $10 less than the City Marshal. In 1886, the Department hired its first two African-American officers, Robert William Stewart and Roy Green. By the early 1900s the population of the City had increased to more than 100,000, with fewer than 70 officers struggling to maintain the peace.
During World War II the overall number of personnel was depleted by the demands of the military - therefore there was a small impact of the LSPD upon the Zoot Suit Riots in 1943.
In 1950, William H. Pershing has been appointed as Chief of Police and has advocated police professionalism and autonomy from civilian administration. However, the Bloody Christmas scandal in 1951 led to calls for civilian accountability and an end to alleged police brutality. William H. Pershing has served as Chief of Police until he died at 1966 due to a fatal heart attack. Shortly after the location of the LSPD Main Administration Office Building has been named after him; Pershing Square. Under Pershing, Inspector Daryl Gates also created the first SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) team in United States law enforcement.
Year 2009
The Los Santos Police Department is a small department in the start of 2009 and a very un-organize police department. In the chair on top of everything is Chief of Police Jake Jackson sitting. After the city board decided to give Chief Jackson the opportunity to either hand over a personal resignation or be dishonorable discharge for the lack of work he was doing in the department. He decided to hand in his badge and sent in his resignation in July 2009. At this time the board decided to promote both the standing Deputy Chief's in the LSPD to Chief of Police. First and only time in the history of the Los Santos Police Department was it ran by two Chief's at the same time. This was also a new standing point for the department as they had to re-organize the whole LSPD into a new department. There was no units, divisions or even academies at the time as everything had to be build from the ground. In the end of December 2009 more and more confusing problems came up as Commanding staff didn't know which chief to turn their problems to. The board decided at the time to remove both current Chiefs and transfer the Assistant Chief of Police in Las Venturas over to Los Santos, Dexter Thompson. At the time Enzo DiCaprioso transfer and became the Chief of Police in San Fierro.

San Andreas Sheriff Department is just standing on their feet for a few months before its being shut down, Since it was shut down in early 2010 have we the state never had a new Sheriff Department. In mid-May 2010 the Chief of Police Dexter Phoenix and Deputy Chief Devid Webb is flying with the police helicopter where they make an emergency landing on top of a roof in downtown Los Santos. Chief of Police Phoenix was push over the edge at the roof by his own Deputy Chief and died by the fall. Webb announce the death as an accident as the Chief fell off the building by himself. The local FBI Office in Los Santos started the investigation on the death of Dexter Phoenix, Just a few days after the death Deputy Chief Devid Webb was arrested by the FBI and sentence to life time in San Andreas Penitentiary.
