The '''Los Santos Police Department''', abbreviated to '''LSPD''', is the [[Police|police force]] in the cities of [[Davis]] and [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]], [[San Andreas in GTA V|San Andreas]]. The force appears in [[Grand Theft Auto V]] and [[Grand Theft Auto Online]] working alongside the [[Los Santos County Sheriff]], the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation#HD Universe|FIB]], the [[Central Intelligence Agency#HD Universe|IAA]] and the [[military]]. The motto of the force is "Obey & Survive". The LSPD is based on the [[:wp: Los Angeles Police Department|Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD)]].

The LSPD was founded in [[1889]], nearly one hundred years after Los Santos was founded. As of [[2013]], the police officers are poorly trained, receiving only two weeks training according to [[Dave Norton]], and use brutal methods to maintain law and order. Even their motto, "Obey & Survive", suggests their lack of training. They are known for shooting unarmed pedestrians, those resisting arrest and innocent animals. The LSPD are also accused of being racist. However, they are creating minority quotas and do not harass [[Franklin Clinton]] more than [[Michael De Santa]] and [[Trevor Philips]]. They are also accused of having oral sex with [[prostitutes]].

LSPD officers wear navy blue uniforms, both shirts and trousers along with a black belt, which contains a radio, handcuffs and ammunition cases. Some officers can also be seen wearing Kevlar [[body armor]], a hat and sunglasses. LSPD officers carry either a [[pistol]] or a [[Pump Action Shotgun]], with officers more likely to carry the shotgun when the wanted level is 3 stars or higher. [[Carbine Rifle]]s and [[Micro SMG]]s are also used by the police, the latter only by those in the Predator.

The LSPD have a number of vehicles used to apprehend criminals. The [[Police Buffalo]] (in the Downtown area) [[Police Cruiser]] and [[Police Interceptor]] are used to patrol the city and to apprehend low level criminals with [[Police Predator]]s patrolling the [[Pacific Ocean]] surrounding the city. For apprehending those with higher wanted levels, they will deploy [[Police Transporters]] and [[Unmarked Cruiser]]s while the [[Police Maverick]] provides aerial support although they are usually controlled by [[NOOSE]] agents. Transporters are usually seen in road blocks and will deploy spike strips. At four and five stars, the police will also deploy [[Police Riot]]s in roadblocks although due to their slow speed will rarely be used to chase the player.
