Working as a police officer

Everything you need to know for your first patrol!

Police menu

Now that you are a Police Officer, you now have access to the job menu using M / holding which lets you:

• 📻 Open the radio menu
• 🕵️ Calls → View previous calls (clicking will place a waypoint at the crime scene)
  • 👤 Suspect name and ID

  • Major felonies only - You will only receive calls for major felonies
  • No calls - You will not receive any dispatch calls
• 🎙️ Customize your ped voice

Working against criminal activities

There are many activities that suspects engage in every day: your duty as a Police Officer is to stop them.

• 🔧 Scrapping Vehicles: stealing cars and scrapping them at various scrapyards across the city.
• 💊 Drug dealing: Some criminals are selling death in our street, track them down and arrest them.
• 🚢 Illegal Exporting: stealing cars and exporting them to make some money: it’s always in the Docks(Elysian Island).
• 💰 Pickpocketing: those criminals are stealing money from the pockets of innocent civilian (or other players).
• 🖥️ ATM Hacking: some criminals are working with a famous hacker who sells them little devices to hack ATMs… You can easily seize those device and prevent them from stealing money.
• 🏃 Fleeing suspects: high speed chases that allows you to ram their vehicles or simply a foot chase which will put your cardio to the test.
• 🏪 Robberies: criminals like to rob stores and nightclubs, they can make a lot of money from that, but they also traumatize a lot of innocent civilians…
• 🔫 Shootouts: often under the influence of drugs, some criminals don’t hesitate to shoot on sight… It’s a very dangerous situation that requires teamplay from the police force.

You can encounter these criminals by responding to emergency calls or by simply patrolling in the streets.

Responding to emergency calls

Everytime a crime is committed, you’ll receive an alert giving you some information like:

• 🧾 The type of crime/felony (non-violent or violent)
• 👤 The suspect’s name and id
• 📍 The crime location and some other details (vehicle name, color , …).

Note

You can check the list of crimes on the Wanted Level page if you want more information about a crime or felony.

Responding to calls using Y / holding will give you a GPS point.

You’ll earn 5XP points once you arrive on scene.

Astuce

You can do /cleargps if you want to remove the GPS point.

Dispatch Calls

Sometimes when big crimes gathering criminals happens (such as the Jewelry being robbed), all police officers will get a special purple “Dispatch” call on their notification feed above the mini-map.

The area in which this dispatch got called will start blinking in blue on the map, and going there to arrest / take down suspects will award bonus money!

Catching drug dealers

Some players can play as Drug Dealer: they are selling drugs to NPC’s to gain money and XP, but as you know drugs are bad and as a Police Officer, your duty is to fight against that.

To catch a drug dealer:

1. Stay hidden not far from the suspect
2. Wait for them to make the deal with the NPC
   (You’ll see them play a trade animation once the NPC come close)
3. If you are close enough, they will receive the Drug Trafficking felony and you’ll be able to arrest them.
   (You can ram at low speed with your vehicle or taze them if you are on foot)

Sometimes, some drugs dealers are already wanted on their spot: you can simply arrest them just like any other criminal, without waiting for them to sell.

Astuce

Using an unmarked vehicle will help you: civilians won’t see your marker/name as blue until you get close enough or turn on your siren.

Astuce

Although less popular, some players are also selling weapons & illegal equipement as Arms dealers : catching them selling to other players will also give them a similar felony, which allows you to arrest & seize them !

Encounter with criminals

There are lots of different criminals you can encounter while playing, ranging from petty dismeanors to major felonies on the NPCs & Players: identifying them and taking the good course of action is one of the most important qualification to be a good cop.

Ticketing a suspect

When you see a suspect with one star, you can’t arrest them, but instead you can ask them to pull over and give them a ticket.

You can get between $750 to $25,000 by ticketing them.

Note

If the suspect doesn’t pull over and leaves the area, or refuses the ticket, he will get a wanted level for Evading an officer/Refusing a ticket, allowing you to arrest them

Arresting a suspect

The first duty of a Police Officer is to arrest criminals. To arrest a suspect you need to be near the criminal and press X / hold to handcuff them.

• 2★: You can get $15,000 by arresting them (bonus: $6,750 | assisting the arrest: $3,000)
• 3★: You can get $27,500 by arresting them (bonus: $13,275 | assisting the arrest: $9,000)
• 4★: You can get $35,000 by arresting them (bonus: $15,750 | assisting the arrest: $10,500)
• 5★: You can get $50,000 by arresting them (bonus: $22,500 | assisting the arrest: $15,000)

The transport bonus is granted when you transport the suspect in a vehicle to a Police Station.

If the suspect’s bounty is higher than the transport bonus ($22,500) you will receive the full bounty instead.

Astuce

It’s better to use the tazer on a suspect to stun and handcuff them, instead of killing them (you’ll earn more money)
Keep in mind that the suspect can resist the arrest once every ≈20 seconds!

Danger

⚠ Remember that you can use deadly force only in few cases, see Takedowns for more information.

Force entry in warehouse or garage

You are able to forcefully enter warehouses or garages if you spot a suspect entering inside them.
If a wanted suspect knocks at someone’s property and they let them enter, you’re also able to enter following this by pressing Force entry in the property’s menu.

Arrest menu

The arrest menu, accessible via pressing X / holding near a cuffed criminal, is a menu reserved to Police Officers that allows you to:

• 🔍 Search: find if they have illegal items, weapons, ammunition or drugs and seize them to earn some money.
• 🚶 Follow: make the suspect follow you behind (to your car or police station as examples)
• 🚔 Enter vehicle: place the suspect inside your car, you’ll be able to transport them to the nearest Police Station.
  (you’ll earn a transport bonus - see Arresting a suspect)
• 🏢 Hand over the suspect at a Police Station desk.
  (you’ll also earn a transport bonus - see Arresting a suspect)
• 🚓 Quick Arrest: call an NPC transport unit to handle the suspect but you will not receive the transport bonus.
  (so less money than transporting the suspect yourself)
• 💸 Suggest bribe: suggest a bribe, which will send a notification to the suspect and ask them to pay you for their freedom.

Bribes

The criminals can give you cash to lose their wanted level: you can accept, deny or ignore their offer. When a suspect wants to bribe you, you’ll see a notification prompt on your top-left corner, and when you open the bribe menu by pressing Y / holding , you can:

Action	Result for the suspect	Result for the officer
Accept the bribe	Wanted level cleared	Lose 5 XP, gain full bribe 💵
Accept & share	Wanted level cleared	Split bribe with nearby officers 🤝
Accept & share with party	Wanted level cleared	Split bribe with party members 👥
Refuse the bribe	Attempted bribing felony	Gain XP 🏅
Close the menu	Can make a better offer	No XP, no money, just suspense ⏳

You can also suggest them to bribe you with the arrest menu, or simply by opening your interaction menu near them with E /

A suspect can give you between $20,000 and $500,000, no matter his wanted level.

⚠ They are cases in which they cannot bribe:

• The suspect is a 5★ - most wanted.
• The suspect got revived less than 30 seconds ago by a paramedic (auto-cuffed)

(Their name will start flashing white when they surrender)

Radio

You have access to a radio which allow you to speak with other Police Officers and Paramedics.

Astuce

If you don’t want to speak in the voice chat, you can send text messages in radio channels: prefix your message with an exclamation mark !
Example: ! I need backup in Grove Street, 1 active shooter

You can access this menu via your job menu (M / hold → Job menu) or by using the /radio command.

You can turn the radio on/off and select the volume of the radio inside this menu.

You can also switch between channels:

• 📡 Emergency (Los Santos) - Default channel in Los Santos
• 📡 Emergency (Sandy Shores) - Default channel in Sandy Shores
• 📡 Emergency (Paleto Bay) - Default channel in Paleto Bay
• 🌐 Alt #1 / Alt #2 - Use freely in any language
• 🔐 Reserved 1 / Reserved 2 - Available only if you’re Level 20+

Astuce

If you are in a party, you can also use a custom party channel to communicate to other party members, instead of the emergency channels.

For more information, check out the party page.

Tips & Tricks

• Play with others cops: it’s the best way to catch every criminal who are resisting arrest.

• Play with paramedics: They can be with you in your patrol, as long as they are:

  • Not driving your patrol vehicle.
  • Not helping you arrest a criminal.
  • Only shooting and helping taking down criminals that are hurting you, them or other cops/paramedics (Defense of Life) or preventing them from reviving a dead player.

• Use the radio: listen to the radio to know where other officers need help, and ask for backup when you need it.

• Be prepared with your tazer out: when another officer is arresting a suspect, they can resist arrest: keeping the tazer out prevents from running if they manage to resist.

• Turn your emergency lights on when you park: your vehicle can’t be impounded by mechanics if your emergency lights are on. Press E / to turn them on.

• Turn off your siren sound: You can use the /siren command to turn off your siren sound or press U / double-tap when you are in your vehicle.

• Always restock before going on patrol, and after dying if you can.
