  1. Hello! Some of you may know im new to this community and some of you know that Im a C# programmer. Well today Im going to be announcing a software for GTAIV (LCPDFR) that allows YOU to talk to the police dispatcher. I will use Voice Recognition Software so the program knows what and how to respond. For example: If I say something like "This is unit One-Adam-12, requesting backup at Hove-Beach" then the the dispatcher will say something like "Roger Unit One-Adam-12, back up is in route" and it will aoutomaticly do ALT+B for you witch will send a police unit to your location. That also includes Medics, Traffic Stops, Tow Trucks, and much more coming soon. I will be releasing more information about Beta-Testers and the release date very very soon that also includes a Video. Thanks! Ray Gonzalez

  3. Yup. Ever seen the movie 'The Recruit' before? It's about a CIA agent, but one of the instructors at the academy (played by Al Pacino) said a line about all government employees I'll never forget: "Our failures are known, our successes are not." Kids and adults alike don't like authority. They don't like being told what to do. I started in a citizens police academy just two weeks ago, and the officers I've met so far are 24 karat gold. They seem fair, and they do have a sense of what laws are fair and effective, and ones that don't benefit anyone. Cops are people. Some are bad people, some are good people. And the effectiveness "customer service" can be likened to that of a restaurant. If the people they interact with have a bad experience, they'll remember that longer and tell more people than if they have a good one. That's just the way it is.

  6. Now that we've officially announced LCPDFR 1.0 and unveiled a big preview of the brilliant new features and additions it has, I feel like it is a good time to elaborate on the timeline leading up to this and indeed, our timeline going forward.  Back in February, we set up a new SVN for LCPDFR and carried over LMS' code that he was working on at the time.  Eventually we made the decision that we'd abandon what we'd done with RC3 and instead focus on this new batch of code, which was built from scratch solely by LMS.  Over time, more features were added and most of the old functionality from RC2 was converted over to the point where it actually started to resemble LCPDFR again, at which point we decided to go ahead with it and call it 1.0.  With 1.0, we've all come a long way since the beginning of the mod 4 years ago.  Back then, it was coded in a really horrible fashion by someone that was completely new to programming (me, sadly).  When LMS joined the team, he started to add his own code which was of course far more advanced than anything I could ever do and as such, he started to make more and more of the backend of the mod with me focusing more on the polish and realism.  Indeed, this continued to the point where he started coding his stuff in an entirely different language, C# and merged it all together in with my old VB.Net code.  Eventually I started learning C# and we began to develop only in that, although much of the old code still remained and was still used for the traffic stops, hardcode mode, frisking and many other things.  This was the set-up that we used up until 0.95 which is where we began converting most of the features over to C#.  As well was this, LMS also started adding in more backend for the mod, giving us things like Callout Managers, Backup Managers and Pursuit Managers.  Ultimately this is what LCPDFR 0.95 RC2 was built on - a much better system but at the same time it was technically the same foundation as even as far back as 0.80.  Clearly this was not the best approach as far as the continued development of the modifcation was concerned, so when LMS offered to rewrite the mod from the ground up, I gladly took him up on the offer and now a year and a bit on, this is where we are.   Regarding our next steps, LCPDFR 1.0 entered its initial closed testing phase a few months back.  In these few months, we've added so much more functionality and polish to the point where there is a very noticeable difference between the mod today and the mod back then.  In fact, most of the features that we showed in the preview were added recently, including Hardcore mode, advanced helicopter logic, character selection, the police station interior update and the new arresting, detaining and frisking options.  We're slowly but steadily getting happier with the amount of content in LCPDFR now and at this point in time, the focus is on developing example callouts for the Callout API that you'll be able to edit and use as a base for any custom callouts you want to make.  Aside from this, we're also hard at work at fixing bugs and polishing things up to make them more realistic, fluid and presentable.  Now, this could take another month or two, although the great news is that we are making very good progress as the weeks go by.  LCPDFR 1.0 now contains a lot of stuff that we're all very proud of and it will be released in some form or another later on this year.   Of course, LCPDFR 1.0 isn't the only thing that's noteworthy at the moment, however, with the console release of GTA V right around the corner and with our community just recently surpassing the amazing 100,000 member mark.  In relation to GTA V and the community, we're in the final stages of our forum restructure and re-organisation and this may actually be rolled out as early as tomorrow.  When this does happen, we'll probably need to take the site offline for an hour or so while we perform the changes and move things around, although we'll let everybody know as early as we can beforehand.   Finally reaching the 100,000 members mark was definitely one of the many highlights of these past 4 years and I don't really think there's any other way to put it other than to me, and I'm sure many others here on the team, it was simply the best feeling in the world.  Looking back at some of the struggles and battles that we've had over the years, there were honestly points where it felt like we were in real trouble as a community - especially during the summer of 2012 and early 2013 as we were relentlessly hit with just about every kind of denial of service attack known to man.  Of course, there were the events of 2011 where GPM and myself parted ways and just out of sheer desire to surpass them, we started relentlessly pushing the community forward as hard as we could.  Even just to think that back then, we only had something like 10,000 members really shows just how much this place has grown and expanded over the past few years.  To consider all of this, all of the things we've been through and all of the work that we've done, it really was just the best moment for me when we smashed our online users count yesterday and also when we went over 100,000 registered members the day before.   With GTA V just around the corner, the dynamics of the community will once again begin to shift.  While of course there'll be no LCPDFR or modding of any sort yet, we're going to support GTA V as best we can and just like we did with GTA IV in 2011, we'll provide a new home for an active and hopefully ever-growing GTA V community too.  Ultimately, by the end of the year our goal is to have released LCPDFR 1.0 and provide everyone with the best community and gameplay experience as we possibly can.  There's one other thing as well though, and that's our next big milestone.  If GTA V does make its way to PC (and let's hope and pray that it does), we're going to do absolutely anything and everything in our power to get code running on it.  If we do, I can assure everybody that it'll only be a matter of time before LSPDFR makes it way onto your system.  I, for one, just can't wait to go wild on GTA V as a cop.   Finally, I'd just like to say a big thank you to everyone for having the patience to stick with us.  I understand that the website is about a whole lot more than just LCPDFR now, but I also get that there are so many hungry people that are dying to get their hands on the next version.  I honestly wasn't expecting such a positive response yesterday when we unveiled the feature preview so when I saw the messages of support and excitement flow in, it actually caught me a little bit off guard and it was just really an amazing thing to see.  In a way it sort of reminded me of the LCPDFR fever which used to grip the website prior to a release of a new version - everything just seems so exciting and so right.  It'd been a long time since we'd all felt that and it was definitely a very welcome change.   On behalf of the entire team here, thanks again for your support and for being part of this unique community, Sam.

  7. I think there are times when police brutality should be addressed due to genuine misconduct of an officer. However, a little bit of force is often required in that line of work, and when people don't like it, it's the first thing they'll scream.

  8. I don't see any reason why this should be locked or not talked about. Like others have said, its no secret as to what cops carry. Even if he was asking about a specific place that he was trying to do something malicious, even if the officers didn't have automatic weapons in the cars, they could mount a response to a situation in which the officers would then have automatic weapons anyway. Saying that he is asking about this to try and gain knowledge to do something malicious is crazy. I think he's simply asking out of curiosity and its a completely normal question. Now to give my input - in the ride alongs I've been on I've seen a variety of setups. My local sheriff dept. carries AR's and shotguns in the car. Local PD only carries shotguns. With some of the other larger departments I've been with I've always seen a shotgun/AR setup in most cars but it depends on the car/officer I suppose. I've never seen MP5's though but that doesn't mean they weren't in the trunk or something. Although I've never heard of them carrying MP5's anyway. Why would they need the MP5 when they have a AR? I do recall in one episode of Alaska State Troopers, one of the troopers had to gun a shotgun out to kill a moose. He had it in the rear (it was a SUV) in one of those drawers and there was a MP5 sitting in the drawer

    Me? Tmbb101?

    "Could not really care less." "Could really care less" means you do actually care and it is possible for you to care less than you currently do. Unless that is in fact what you are trying to say. Anyway, the topic does seem pointless since no one that's replied knows who you are.

  11. If you think it should be removed, you should report it. No laws are being violated, since we live in a somewhat free country where we are free to discuss and even criticize police policies, including weapons. And there is no potential danger to officer safety in discussing this. I know many cops that openly talk about this stuff, and it's definitely not top secret information that police carry guns and have access to something better than a handgun.

  12. I know he did! But since he mentioned making videos on LCPD shootouts I figured I would mention what kind of equipment the LCPD use.  Oh well.

  13. @Ineseri He meant real life US departments. @Sheriff98 It truly depends on the department and the demographics of that area. Generally, major cities all have at least some officers patrolling with AR-15s, but it isn't needed for every cop. I believe from past reading that the LAPD has about 600 patrol officers that carry an AR-15, while everyone else gets their personal sidearm and a Remington 870 in the car. Other major cities, like New York, only issue long guns (any lethal weapon besides a handgun) to ESU and units that do raids, while patrol officers only have sidearms. A general rule of thumb though is that an agency that is in a suburban or a rural area will have a majority of officers with AR-15s, or at least highly encourage officers to buy their own and get qualified to carry it. In my area, all officers are required to have an AR-15 in the car. Also, as far as I know, all Highway Patrol agencies carry AR-15s. The primary issue with MP5s is that they are outdated. They are a design from the 60's, and little can be done to them to make them more functional in today's environment. While I still personally believe they are a great gun (HK is hard to beat, though expensive), MP5s are pretty much useless past 50 yards, and a rifle is a lot more effective. Another issue is that MP5s can't be customized easily. Most mounting systems for anything other than the surefire forend light are aftermarket, and add additional costs. Most AR-15s come standard with a picatinny rail system (used to mount attachments like Scopes, flashlights and grips). Another issue is that it has the option for fully automatic fire, which most PD's are steering away from due to the risk of collateral damage. Even most US SWAT Teams are steering away from them in favor of short barreled AR-15s. While there are still a rare few patrol officers that carry MP5s, it was primarily a weapon used before the North Hollywood Shootout (this is what prompted the LAPD to give AR-15s to some patrol officers). One of the PDs in my area had MP5s and Remington 870's as standard issue before then, but realized that neither were effective for general patrol use and switched to the Benelli M4 semi-auto shotgun loaded with Bean Bag rounds and AR-15s. The only place where I would look for a patrol officer with one is a rural PD that uses the LE exemptions to buy "fun guns" for the officer to burn through ammo. I know of one retired chief in a rural Missouri town that bought numerous different fully automatic guns for the PD, but went out and shot through several hundred thousand rounds with them a month.

  14. An unforgettable, diligent and smart team we have here running this community. Thank you, Sam! For making it possible! Without LCPDFR I wouldn't be where I am today. A semi-successful YouTube commentator, a community founder, involved in criminal justice, involved in numerous school safety assemblies, and a future Law Enforcement Officer. Without LCPDFR I wouldn't have said nearly half of that. What I tell the guys & girls I work with in my community: This is a unique place because everyone has the same interests. Either public safety, or helping people. We've all had a lot of rough times, from posts getting out of hand, to the DDOS attacks. We're still here... Just goes to show that we can stick this out, and as Sam said, we've got a long, challenging, and exciting road ahead of us.
