Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police (CMPD) - variety pack of model liveries 1.0.1

Last week, I uploaded some North Carolina State Highway Patrol liveries that were part of a commission project from a few years ago - where the customer has allowed me to release everything publicly. Here are the liveries from another part of the project - this time, for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.

This pack is truly a "variety" pack - of both liveries and models.......including some unique model choices. He wanted specific vehicles in his game, that seemed to best fit the actual CMPD units he sees in his area every day........or, what he would wish to see!! (lol.......Mustang!!) While we chose the models with those reasons in mind - once again, no promises are made that these vehicles are truly what CMPD uses...........as far as model years, equipment/lighting options, etc. I can, however, promise that the livery design is as close to 100% accurate as I can make it. I take a lot of time when making liveries to ensue accuracy, often redoing logos and badges completely from scratch - in order to get the best quality in game. For example, with this CMPD livery, I redrew the "hornets nest" logo from scratch. I'll admit the "Speed Enforcment" markings on the Mustang is a bit of creative liberty!

In this pack, all models - except for the CSI truck - come with multiple liveries, from 2 to 5 per model. All liveries are themselves unique - with all callsigns being different, and some variations in the decals or placement........as I saw in the reference photos I used. As much as possible, I matched all those details (unit numbers, chevrons, etc) from photos to the same models here. Be mindful that all my liveries are in 4k quality. Depending on your PC specs, you may notice performance/texture loss if you have too many liveries loaded at once. While the game allows and can handle multiple liveries loaded at once onto a model.......your PC may not! All liveries are named as needed to be for simple drag/drop installation into that model's YTD.

I am also providing the BB lighting conversion files for almost all of the models - again, named as needed for drag/drop install into the model YTD and your ELS VCF folder. I am linking the models used below, but have also included a text doc with a list of the model links in the download package for easy reference.

For the more standard patrol units, we went with Torz's LSPD Legacy pack. It is a great pack from a couple years ago. Please note - it does come as a DLC addon pack.........but it was set up using the regular vanilla police vehicle names, so IT WILL REPLACE those models as part of the regular game spawning process. You may need to rename some models, or adjust your default region and/or agency .xml files, to better fit your game setup. The models we went with from this pack were the 2011 CVPI ("police"), 2014 Tahoe ("fbi" - with patrol and K9 liveries), 2016 FPIU ("sheriff" - used for the CSI liveries), 2018 Charger ("police2"), and the 2020 FPIU ("sheriff2").

For the 2024 Dark Horse Mustang, we went with Rabbit's model again. It is a great model, and I have used it in a number of other livery projects. It has a reflective livery layer as a bonus! This model comes as a DLC addon. The free release on LSPDFR comes with R/B lighting, and a full rambar. Rabbit does have the official B/B lighting option, and a no ram-bar version available on his Patreon. However Rabbit has mentioned in the past to "convert to all blue yourself, if you want". I went ahead and did that, and have included those files here. Even though this model has a full rambar, I made up a ghosted livery to match. I've included the fully marked and ghosted primary livery versions, along with their respective "reflective" layers. However, while the model could have both the fully marked and ghosted primary livery files installed at once - there can only be one reflective layer. Soooo......you have to decide how to run this model DLC in your game. If you want to run with only the fully marked model, or only the ghosted model, at a time - then go ahead and install both the livery and reflective texture files for that option. Or, if you want to have both fully marked and ghosted liveries installed, and then choose in game between those two as needed.......you have to be willing to sacrifice the reflective layer. In that case, install the "blank reflective texture" file, along with ony the primary fully marked and ghosted liveries.

For the 2023 Ford Ranger, we went with a model release from GlitchCraft. I haven't used it personally in my game, but it looks great in my screenshot tests.........might be a fun vehicle to have in game! It does come as a FiveM ready/DLC addon, and is avaiable in both ELS and Non-ELS versions. Includes the R/B and B/B files. He does make a note that there is no internal police-style equipment in the model - no laptop/MDT, patrol rifle, etc).

For a full-sized pickup truck, we decided to go with a 2023 GMC Sierra.........but, couldn't decide between 2 models we found online! Made up liveries for both. BlueGhost has a Denali in his amazing Unmarked pack (look for the model "sierp"). For a "heftier", more aggressive look - we went with a 3500 HD AT4 model. Please note - the AT4 model in the screenshots here, is from a paid model my customer already had. However, I have verified (in OpenIV) that the livery will fit this model I found today, from Adams Development.

Finally, for the most unique livery and model, my customer really wanted to have the CMPD Crime Scene Investigations truck and livery in his game. We considered a couple of the large "Command" truck models out there, but those seemed a bit too much. I searched around, and found this older model release from 2017. Maybe a bit smaller than the real thing, but worked out great! This model comes set to be a replacment for the "pranger".

When you download my livery pack - the main "Char-Meck PD" will break down into 5 subfolders, and the model link text file. Hopefully, you will find everything self-explanatory - well organized and named appropriately. Each of the sub-folders is clearly named. Inside those, you will find either the livery files - or further subfolders for the specific models. If needed, the folders will contain the B/B lighting conversion files as well - except for the Ranger (model download comes with that) and the Sierra AT4 (new model found today.....didn't make them, sorry!). If you have any other questions or concerns - don't hesitate to leave a comment, or send me a DM here.

OK, thanks for reading.....that should be it! Keep an eye out for a MEDIC EMS ambulance livery upload shortly

NOTE - no AI was used producing these liveries

I hope you enjoy!  As always:

- please let me know if you have any issues with the liveries

- feel free to use these liveries on any other vehicles in your game that they happen to fit/work with, but I can only guarantee that they will work with the vehicle models I suggested

- if there is another vehicle/pack that you want the liveries to work with, please let me know in the comments or by a DM - I am sure we can work something out.  Or, if you are able, go ahead and rework the livery to another template yourself to use - but, for use in your game only.........please don't repost and claim the work as your own

- feel free to share photos or use in videos (would love to see some of those!)........just give credit back to me

- please do not repost/upload or claim the liveries and work as your own, on this or any other site

- I would appreciate and look forward to any feedback, comments, or reviews

- I am not responsible for "breaking" your game........none of these files will do that, if installed properly.  If you are not sure on how to do so, YouTube and Google are your friends!

Do you have a specific livery request?  Maybe your hometown or local area Police/Fire/Ambulance/Tow/whatever service?  Please contact me via DM here, or on Discord (Medicmojo#3955 or Medicmojo16717) to discuss further.........
