Sheriff Josh Gilbert

Sheriff Gilbert, after resigning his post at the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department, ran for sheriff in Blaine County and won undisputed due to an "executive order." When asked for comment on why Sheriff Gilbert decided to do this he replied, "Well, I hated Los Santos. It was a literal shithole that I tried, but couldn't fix. Plus I grew up in a rural area and I wanted to get back to my roots. I much prefer the smaller department and less populated county. The people are nice and friendly and we have a great community. Its still a dumpster fire, riddled with crime, but at least I will enjoy the country and people more so I call it a win."

The Sheriff's campaign goals are to "Make Blaine County less of a dumpster fire. And improve the training and resources of the department." This statement was made before the protests for reform and defunding the police. The Governor of San Andreas is considering cutting the global funding for all law enforcement but instead decided to leave it up to individual counties and cities with their departments respectively. Los Santos County has already cut its funds by 15%. The new Sheriff of Los Santos County, Rosco, and Chief of the LSPD Jones commented that it was a mistake to do so. Rockford Hills Police and Del Perro Police refused to comment. When asked, the County Commissioner of Blaine County stated he would never take away funds from his departments, who are already underfunded.

Sheriff Gilbert made some comments about defunding the police and the riots. "If you take away our money? Who is going to show up to protect and help you? We are already tight on money...If people try to riot in my county, I recommend every citizen who has a gun, which I also recommend to have anyway, to blow them back out their door if they try to come into their homes or businesses." We will just see how this new sheriff turns out.
 

(The real reason I switched from LSSD to BCSO is that I hated patrolling in the city and the very small part of the county. I like Blaine County more with its small-town vibe and is honestly more fun to patrol with more diverse locations.)
