In using the native trainer in GTA V the past couple of days, I have noticed a couple of things that are interesting as it pertains to LSPDFR or police mods for V.

1.) If you do not disable being wanted by police in V, but make your player a police model, when you get into a shootout, you get a wanted level on screen but what actually happens is the police respond not to you but whoever you are having a shootout with, ignoring you, the player. For example, if you go to Grove Street as a police model and start beefin' with the Ballas, you get a few stars, and the police come, but do not target you and instead target the Ballas. Your player on the minimap gets a cone in front of them just like AI cops when they are looking for you, and suspects seem to automatically appear as dots on the minimap. Your wanted level goes away after the suspects are taken out, even if you are all around cops--they treat you like a cop. In the later updates, LCPDFR tried to achieve this--turning the game's wanted level on itself so that when playing LCPDFR, suspects got wanted levels to a degree and appeared in red and blue circles on the map. In V, this seems to already have been done for us. Even though it shows as the player being wanted on screen, the suspect is actually wanted, and police respond naturally without having to hit a button to call for backup.

 

2.) Female police had a much bigger appearance in the game, and were supposed to appear alongside men or with other female officers, and spawn regularly like male police, but most likely not as many. There are a lot of female police models for different jurisdictions with a whole bunch of voice files that go unused in the game. Everything is there that is needed for them to be in the game, but upon closer inspection, they seem to have been cut at the last minute. It is unknown why Rockstar did this.

Typo

As far as I can tell the involvement of female cops is exactly as R* intended.  They actually lack a few of the animations and speech files that their male counterparts have, and I think this is intentional given their limited role in the game.  If they were to actually respond to stuff and be dispatched, I think they would have more of these animations, voices and speech.  I don't think they were cut at the last minute, I think they were either started on and then forgotten about (intentionally or otherwise) or simply implemented as intended.  You might notice as well that the proportions of their model are messed up, too.

The good news, though, is that there is more than enough to work with.

As far as suspects appearing on your map and stuff like that, that's nothing to do with wanted level.  That's because peds which are attacking you in GTA V are marked on the radar in red.  The only thing that being a cop model does is sets you into the same 'group' as the other cops.  You can't shoot them, etc., and they will ignore you for the most part.

​That gives us something to work with though. Police respond automatically to your area, turning the wanted level system on itself, instead of having to hit a button to call for police backup, even though you would have that as well. The point being if we could incorporate native operations of V as much as possible into mods, you get a much more stable result. Mods are well and good, but nobody's scripts will function better than Rockstar's. Think about in LCPDFR if you go to a shootout and spam the backup button, after a short delay you get bombarded with clones of the same cop car all spawning next to each other around the block, which typically crashes the game. LCPDFR and our mods in general are great, but Rockstar has given us a lot to work with already that could be used in mods, like spike strips, cones, fast-roping SWAT, etc., and things like ELS and ENBs are not as neccesary as they were in IV. The more we incorporate what is already in the game into policing and other mods, the smoother the game will run.

With regard to female cops, they are fully modeled and have voices, not as many as the male officers and not as many animations, but Rockstar definitely cut them a good part of the way through development. I know they appear to some extent, but from looking at how many models there are and the fact that they recorded some voice work for them means they had a much larger role, but like you said, there is more than enough to work with.

​Yeah I think if we ever do get SAPDFR or LSPDR whatever the name is called am going to prefer the wanted level system backup but remember though as soon you reach 3 to 4 stars the helicopters and swat starts shooting at you so it makes sense for the wanted lvl system to stay at around wanted lvl 1 to 2, so i think calling backup on your own with a key wouldn't be a good idea and will makes things more unstable i thinks that's my opinion, but we'll see what the LSPDFR  teams will work here.

I don't think it will be called SAPDFR as that is already being made by people from another modding community who have shown proof that they have legally registered that name. On the subject of female police, i to hope that they are gonna be more involved. Even if they dont have as many animations or voices as the male officers. It will still be awesome to use the model.

​We've not yet decided on a name -- although SAPDFR is certainly not excluded from the list of possibilties. See my post here regarding this.
