'''Frank Tenpenny''' is a corrupt police officer of the [[Los Santos Police Department]] (LSPD) and the head of [[C.R.A.S.H.]], serving as the main [[Antagonist|antagonist]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. Tenpenny claims that his approach to the job is about "percentages" and that his philosophy calls for overlooking some crime to achieve a greater good. It appears that he believes what he says, but in reality Tenpenny and his unit are corrupt to the core and terrorize gang leaders in a fashion much like a gang themselves, except with the power of law enforcement behind them. They can kill indiscriminately and are skimming the profits from the rival gangs. Tenpenny himself is a polluting influence, convincing good cops to aid him in his pursuits. | '''Frank Tenpenny''' is a corrupt police officer of the [[Los Santos Police Department]] (LSPD) and the head of [[C.R.A.S.H.]], serving as the main [[Antagonist|antagonist]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].

Tenpenny rides with [[Eddie Pulaski]] and a third C.R.A.S.H. member. Prior to the game's storyline, the third member is [[Ralph Pendelbury]], whom Tenpenny has killed in [[The Introduction]] for cooperating with internal affairs. Just prior to Pendlebury's murder, Tenpenny and Pulaski brief their newest recruit, [[Jimmy Hernandez]], in a scene reminiscent of the film ''Training Day''. They both order Hernandez to pull the trigger on Pendelbury, thereby initiating Hernandez into their distorted view of things. | Tenpenny rides with [[Eddie Pulaski]] and a third C.R.A.S.H. member.

At the last cut scene of the "End of the Line" mission, Tenpenny's fire engine runs off an overpass, where it lands in a wreck right in the heart of [[Grove Street]]. A bloodied and broken Tenpenny crawls out calling for backup. Realizing no one is coming, he curses the police force, claiming that with "fifty of me", Los Santos would be saved, before dying from his injuries. CJ and the rest of his crew examine the body to make sure he's finished, but Sweet makes sure no one touches him so officials will blame a traffic accident for his death. Before they walk away from the body, [[The Truth]] tells CJ that he "beat the system" after Truth had been trying for 30 years. CJ then leans over, points his fingers at Tenpenny's body and smugly says, "See you around, ''officer''." Tenpenny's corpse is reported on the radio to have been mutilated and stripped by the homeless, before officials found it once the riots had ended. | At the last cut scene of the "End of the Line" mission, Tenpenny's fire engine runs off an overpass, where it lands in a wreck right in the heart of [[Grove Street]].
