Criteria for Joining the LSPD

Police Officers are responsible for protecting and serving the public and are entrusted with substantial authority to carry out these responsibilities. The public has the right to expect that such authority is given only to those individuals who have demonstrated by their conduct that they will use the authority given to them in the public’s best interests. Past behavior will be closely scrutinized and only candidates with the highest probability of success will be appointed as Police Officers.

Applicants must be 20 years of age at the time of application and 21 years of age by police academy graduation.
(( We strictly enforce an out of character age requirement of at least 16 years of age. ))

No matter how far back a serious criminal charge goes, it will still invalidate any attempts at becoming a Police Officer with the Los Santos Police Department. Additionally, you must also be a citizen in good standing - with no affiliations to serious criminal activity. A thorough background check will be performed after filling.

Additional Requirements

(( Out Of Character Criteria ))

You must be at least 16 years of age.

You must be able to speak the English language fluently and be proficient with English grammar & spelling.

You MUST have a functional microphone and be able to use your microphone to ensure that you have continuous character development - This is a VOIP server, we expect faction members to use their microphones.

Your ability to perform character actions and describe environmental RP (/me) will be checked during the recruitment process, should you pass the application stage.

You agree that you are able to roleplay a realistic character with consistent character development.
Our faction's goal is to provide a realistic, high-quality and immersive portrayal of a law enforcement department in today's United States for our community members. You should understand before submitting your application, that you may get yelled at, disciplined and/or experience unpleasant situations while In-Character.

While we aim to provide a realistic portrayal of the law enforcement department, we are actively looking for people who are captivated with their own role-play and the development of their character. We are looking for people who want to invest time in this faction while developing their own character and enjoying the game at the same time. Our goal is to provide quality role-play to the rest of the community and immersive law enforcement experience, and having characters with flaws (i.e., positive and negative attributes) is essential. We are looking to hire interesting characters with a realistic background, genuine attributes and human emotions in order to keep faction standards at a reputable level.

We reserve the right to deny you if you have been previously discharged from another faction for Out of Character reasons, e.g. poor RP/OOC conduct/toxicity. We strive for a friendly and healthy environment, you need to prove that you are capable of contributing to one.

If accepted you must be willing to put at least 50% of your overall playing time in to your PD character if you have other characters. This is because the demand for being in this faction is high, so we don't see it to be fair if someone joins and spends most of their time on their alternate characters when others would be willing to put more time in to their PD character.

You cannot have any form of admin logs for a minimum of 30 days from the filing date. This may vary from person to person and you must be in good standing with the community. We reserve the right to deny applicants based on a poor admin record regardless of how long it was since your last punishment. This is a law enforcement faction that aims for high standards both in-character and out-of-character.
