Seven years ago today, Sam put together a bare-bones modification for Grand Theft Auto IV that enabled players to perform some very basic police actions which has now expanded to two GTA games and thousands of followers. We sat down with him as he opened up on creating the mod, who he is and what he sees for the future.

It's been a while, but we're back, just like old times, with a very special New Year's update for everyone. Exciting things tend to happen at the beginning of the year here at LSPDFR, and 2016 is proving to be no exception. Continuing with this theme, there's a little something that I'd like to finally share with everyone who has played and supported what we've done here for the past six and a half years, and also with those who have yet to join us in what has been, still is, and will continue to be an incredible journey...

In this edition of the Community Spotlight, We sat down with arguably one the of the most popular content creators for LSPDFR and well known YouTuber, Jeff Favignano

In the first part of our new series aiming to shed some light on the many talented content creators here at lcpdfr.com, We sat down with arguably one of the most upcoming and respected people in the GTA community, Albo1125.

In light of the Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition being released on PC via the Rockstar Launcher, we have recently revisited Liberty City ourselves to update some of the old, broken modding tools. As a result of this, LCPD First Response (LCPDFR), the original police mod for GTA IV is now available to download and easier to play again. LCPDFR 1.1 (Legacy Edition) is the final release of LCPDFR 1.1 from 2015, but updated with the new Compatibility Patch by @LMS so that it's now far easier to hop back in time and relive our original classic.

We've just updated LSPDFR to version 0.4.9, which not only brings with it new features and improvements but also an exciting opportunity to take part in some real-world academic research. With LSPDFR 0.4.9, which is now available in the downloads section, we've teamed up with researchers at Brigham Young University and the University of British Columbia to explore the real-world research potential of LSPDFR, and the role that it could play in helping to understand how people react and behave in a law enforcement environment...

In this edition, we sat down with arguably one of the best and one of the first GTA Photographers out there - Carrythxd

Today on LCPDFR we have been given the opportunity to interview FinKone, the man behind the invaluable modification known as Police Radio. Some of the highlights include how he became involved in developing modifications for the GTA series, and talk of other projects he's working on.

With the latest updates to both OpenIV and now ZModeler, it is finally possible to create a range of vehicle modifications for Grand Theft Auto V. Here at LCPDFR.com, We've been busy working on ways to support this exciting development, and have started work on a number of initiatives and resources to help both developers and people who just want to introduce a fleet of cool new cars to their games. The new Grand Theft Auto V Development Resources page includes some basic information to get anyone up to speed with the latest developments in vehicle modifications for GTA V. We've also included links to a number of topics, and a live feed of the latest vehicle modifications available. This page is actually a temporary placeholder, and only a preview of a much more in-depth hub which is being developed.

The second and final trailer for the highly anticipated sequel to LCPDFR has just been released, showcasing a number of features which have made it into the first public release of LSPDFR, including traffic stops, arrests, pursuits and of course, drinking coffee! Although feedback to the debut trailer for LSPDFR was, for the most part, quite overwhelmingly positive, we did understand the disappointment shown by some at the perceived lack of features. Of course, our main priority then was to break our silence on LSPDFR and treat everyone to a very early preview. Now, with many tireless days and nights of development under our belts, we present a more in-depth taste of things to come. Stay tuned for more updates on LSPDFR as development comes to an end and the first public release fast approaches.

Following on from the massive debut of LSPDFR on GTA V a mere two weeks ago, we're proud to announce the next installment in the series - LSPDFR 0.2 - featuring not only numerous enhancements and fixes, but also some highly requested features. Indeed, while originally versioned as 0.1.1, the number of changes introduced in 0.2 seemed too significant to be represented by only a minor increment. LSPDFR 0.2 goes some way in adressing much of the feedback after the first public release and is our first response, pun most definitely intended, to thousands of the comments we've received since then through the forums, YouTube and social media. From the electroshocking glory of stun guns, to a blast from the past with the LCPDFR style search areas and pursuit blipping, LSPDFR 0.2 packs a serious punch and is a major improvement from our first offering. Over the next couple of days, we'll take a look at some of the features that the second version of LSPDFR brings to the table. For now, though, be sure to click below where you can read more about the pursuit search areas and check out a sneak peek screenshot of a traffic stop, 0.2 style.

The third edition of our monthly update packs quite the punch. In October, we've been lucky to see some big developments throughout the community, starting with the huge update to the Emergency Uniforms Pack. Not only this, but we've also seen some amazing new vehicle modifications including a police cruiser with funky new animations - working window wipers anyone?!

Greetings everyone and welcome to the first instalment of the Community Staff Favorites. I hope you all enjoy the images featured this week. I’d also like to express a big thank you to all of the individuals who decided to submit their work for this series, and now without further ado (in no particular order) the Community Staff’s chosen Favorites.

It’s spotlight time again! Over the next few months we’ll be sitting down with a couple of well known and lesser known names in the LSPDFR community. In this edition of the Community Spotlight, we got to chat with one of the biggest names over on YouTube, SteveTheGamer55.

@Alex_Ashfold has just posted a slick new teaser video for the upcoming Emergency Uniforms Pack 9.0, featuring all new uniforms and equipment for your LSPDFR characters. EUP 9.0 has just entered into early access beta and will be available soon on LCPDFR.com.

With the release of the first version of LSPDFR almost imminent, we've put together a preview detailing the large variety of features that it will be packing. In terms of actual detail, this is by far the most comprehensive look at LSPDFR yet, and we hope that it will go some way in answering the many questions we receive about what will, and will not, be in the first release of the modification. You can take a look at this brand new preview over on the official LSPDFR page at www.lspdfr.com

The time has finally come! Emergency Lighting System for Grand Theft Auto V is now available, bringing hundreds of new lighting patterns, a bunch of siren options and a beautiful new interface for controlling your vehicle's emergency equipment. Developed by our own @Lt.Caine and @LMS, ELS-V is a must-have for any one that enjoys realistic police and emergency vehicles in their game. Additionally, Wednesday also sees the release of the latest version of Realism Dispatch Enhanced - a massive modification that brings loads of new vehicles and characters, as well as a custom wanted system that includes a six star wanted level. Both of these modifications are available in our Downloads section now!

In this edition of the Community Spotlight, we sat down with another member of Code Zero and close friend of Jeff, Zach Houseknecht

Spotlight has rolled around again, this time we feature another well known name in the YouTube community! In this edition of the Community Spotlight, we got to sit down with another well known name in LSPDFR/YouTube content creation, (Officer) FirstThirtyMinutes.

We're all sorry for the problems we encountered with the planned release of LSPDFR 0.2 last night. Unfortunately, there was a game breaking performance issue which was found only a few hours before we intended to release and this has required some time to investigate. The good news is that we've done our best to mitigate this problem, related to the way in which Rockstar has started to introduce anti-modding protections. Indeed, the problem has been identified and an alternative solution is now in place. This new version of LSPDFR 0.2 is now currently undergoing testing, and we hope to be in a position to release 0.2 as soon as possible - please check back through the day for further updates.

In our brand new monthly segment, we roundup the best releases and news stories revolving around the GTA Universe - From user modifications to site updates.

Good Tuesday everyone, hope you all enjoyed your Valentines Day this past weekend. Welcome back to the Community Staff Favorites. We had a large number of submissions this week, and as usual, I'd like to express a big thank you to all of the generous members who decided to submit their work for this installation. Now without further ado (in no particular order) the Community Staff’s chosen Favorites.

As a follow up to our previous update, we're still hard at work preparing LSPDFR 0.2 for release. At this time, it would appear that all issues caused by the latest update to GTA V have been resolved. Unfortunately we're still experiencing issues with LSPDFR 0.2 which appear to be unrelated to the recent update and more of a problem with the modification itself. These are in the form of script crashes that some, but not all, have encountered during pursuit testing and this is something we've been looking in to. Unfortunately this seems to be quite a tricky problem to find as different users are experiencing different results. It isn't all bad news, though, as we've also managed to take advantage of this delay to squeeze in some extra development time, allowing for a couple of new features to be added, including the ability to use the police radio to check subject and vehicle records - something we know will be very popular.

The second edition of our Month in Review is finally here! Showcasing the best user modifications in the past month

Greetings everyone and welcome to the second installment of the Community Staff Favorites. I hope you all enjoy the images featured this week. We’ve had another great number of submissions and I'd like to thank the community for continuously making great content for the website and it’s gallery! Now without further ado (in no particular order) the Community Staff’s chosen Favorites.

This is the second part of our LSPDFR 0.2 preview series. For more information about the background behind 0.2, check out the first installment in this series here: http://www.lcpdfr.com/forums/topic/51800-lspdfr-02-announcement-first-preview By far the most hotly requested feature for the next version of LSPDFR was the resurrection of the police computer. A vital tool for those of you that like to add some detail to your patrols - I'm happy to confirm that the police computer will make its return, with a vengeance, in 0.2. The new Police Computer is capable of searching both license plates and subject names, and will actually perform a real search on every vehicle or person currently in the game. If a match is found, it will then be returned to you via a notification after a slight delay. In essence, this is a very real implementation of the system, and we hope that it will be more immersive than our offering in LCPDFR, which felt fake at times. As with the first installment in this series, be sure to click below where you can read more about the new Police Computer, and the data it uses, as well as check out how it looks.

The past year has been an interesting one to say the least here at LSPDFR. Of course, we kicked things off with quite the event when LSPDFR 0.3 was released as part of our first ever livestream - something which, despite the many teething problems, quickly rose to prominence on Twitch and was apparently quite popular with everyone. I think it will remain the most horrible experience that any of us have ever bared witness to, but nonetheless, we're looking forward to doing it again soon! Aside from our work on LSPDFR, we've also been looking at ways to build upon the success that our community has experienced over the past year, and we're excited to announce the introduction of three new members to our team in an entirely new community-facing role...

Hello there! I’m the new Content Editor for LCPDFR! The staff in recent weeks have been busy completely reworking the download section of the website as well as announcing the development of LSPDFR 0.3, so the news feed has been pretty quiet. I figured it’s time for some change, who knows maybe you can even find your name on the news feed!

We have updated LSPDFR to Version 0.4.9 (Build 8021), which adds compatibility for the new version of GTA V (v2545) - "The Contract"

Woohoo! We have finally reached 250,000 members - a cool milestone for sure, and what better way to celebrate than by showing off some of the equally as cool things that our community is working on? Check out this month's article for an in-depth look at some of the new modifications by members @t0y, @OfficerWalters, @Scuderio, @khorio and @alexguirre that are under construction!

With the recent release of LSPDFR 0.3 there has been an influx of updated plugin callouts, scripts and other modifications. From Albo’s recent update of his traffic policer script, to Lt. Caine’s latest iteration of PLD. We’ve decided to list some of these scripts below, and made choosing a new modification all the more easier! So, if you’re looking for something new to add depth to your game, read on below.

Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to the Community Staff Favorites. Hope you all enjoy this week's featured images. As usual, I'd like to express a big thank you to all of the generous members who decided to submit their work for this installation. Now without further ado (in no particular order) the Community Staff’s chosen Favorites.

Just half a year late, we are happy to release our official trailer for RDRFR! We hope to make the mod available publicly soon™ Thank you to all of our Patreon subscribers for the support and special thanks to willpv23 for the trailer. Check it out here:

Following closely in the footsteps of LSPDFR, today we're excited to share some screenshots and details about our latest project - RDRFR, the upcoming police mod for Red Dead Redemption 2. With a greater focus on interaction and investigation as opposed to LA style car chases, RDRFR offers us the chance to create something more intimate and interactive than ever before. Click here to check out the full preview, including three screenshots.

Greetings everyone and welcome back to the Community Staff Favorites. This CSF has been two weeks overdue, primarily due to the holiday season which in turn lead to the staff’s lack of free time on the site. I hope you all enjoyed your holiday vacation and enjoy this week's featured images. I’d like to express a big thank you to all of the individuals who decided to submit their work for this installation, and now without further ado (in no particular order) the Community Staff’s chosen Favorites.

Greetings everyone and welcome to the third installment of the Community Staff Favorites. I hope you all enjoy the images featured this week. As you may have noticed this week's CSF is a week late in the making, partly because of all the submissions we gathered and had to sort through. I'd like to express gratitude to all of you who have been patiently waiting so without further ado (in no particular order) the Community Staff’s chosen Favorites.

This is the fifth part of our LSPDFR 0.3 preview series. For more information about the background behind 0.3, check out the previous installments here: http://www.lcpdfr.com/forums/forum/880-news-updates/ While we've already added an amazing amount of cool new features to 0.3, an update to LSPDFR, or even LCPDFR, wouldn't truly be an update without some further refinement of the pursuit system. It is, in many ways, one of the largest and most important parts of the modification and with 0.3, we've been taking the time to make a number of small but noticeable improvements. From more cautious cops to more daring suspects, we think you'll really enjoy pursuits in 0.3.

We're delighted to announce the first public release of the LSPD First Response modification for Grand Theft Auto V on PC. Implementing a basic framework for enforcing the law in San Andreas, LSPDFR includes a number of features such as arresting suspects, pulling over vehicles, full character and vehicle selection, basic callouts and hot pursuits. Also included in LSPDFR are a variety of police backup options, an interaction menu and various other features. Be sure to study carefully the User Documentation provided with the modification, which explains the features LSPDFR offers. You can download the first public release of LSPDFR here: http://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/7792-lspd-first-response/

We're very excited to announce that LSPDFR Enhanced, after months of development and testing, is now entering the next phase of the development process and is now available to our Patreon Insiders. We are deeply grateful to everyone in our staff team and closed testing community for their feedback and support that have brought us to this point.

Greetings from the Staff at LCPDFR! Today we’ve had the special opportunity to meet another great LCPDFR Community Member taking the charge at making LSPDFR and GTA-V the ultimate police simulator. This specific individual has gifted us with an all-in-one modification that gives us the free range to create our own law enforcement personas as we patrol the streets and roads of San Andreas. If you haven’t guessed it yet we are obviously speaking in part of Alex_Ashfold and his Emergency Uniform Pack! So without further adieu our interview with Alex_Ashfold.

After a short break from the non-stop development of the first couple of versions of LSPDFR, we're really excited to officially announce the next installment in the series - LSPDFR 0.3. As you might have come to expect, LSPDFR 0.3 takes strongly after its predecessors, introducing a big bunch of groundbreaking new features and gameplay. With 0.3, we've taken the time to rebuild some of the core mechanics of the modification, particularly as it comes to arresting suspects. With a brand new interactive system, you can now easily and seamlessly place stopped suspects in handcuffs. We'll be sharing more about the features and changes in LSPDFR 0.3 over the next week or so, as we take a more in-depth look at what 0.3 brings to the table, including the full Downtown Police Station interior, amazingly improved interaction with suspects, and much more! For more information, including two screenshots, check out http://www.lcpdfr.com/forums/topic/55130-lspdfr-03-announcement-first-preview/

This is the final part of our LSPDFR 0.2 preview series. For more information about the changes we're making with 0.2, take a look at the previous installments in this series, found here:: http://www.lcpdfr.com/forums/forum/880-news-updates/ LSPDFR 0.2 not only goes some way in addressing a lot of the feedback we received as far as features were concerned, but it also includes a large number of fixes for issues reported to us. A full list of these fixes will be published with the release, although among the things we sorted out are many of the frustrations people had with arresting, as well as traffic stop suspects reversing into players and the problems with detecting vehicles for traffic stops. Also included in LSPDFR 0.2 is the reintroduction of the police radio, as well as all the elctroshocking glory of stun guns. For more information, and a screenshot, read on.

Continuing with the idea of posting regular updates on our progress with 0.3 on Tuesdays, we're back with a look at what's to come in the next version of LSPD First Response. In an interesting twist, we've invested some time in creating a development system which basically turns LSPDFR upside down, allowing the opportunity for us to put the player in the position of a criminal being chased by the police. See this, and more, here: http://www.lcpdfr.com/forums/topic/57315-lspdfr-03-november-update/

We're excited to share the latest updates on projects bringing LSPDFR and RAGE Plugin Hook to GTA 5 Enhanced Edition alongside refreshing our entire website - with new features, a new design and a more fluid experience.

It's a little late to say the least, but we're excited to announce that the first public version of our police mod for Red Dead Redemption 2, RDR First Response (RDRFR), is now available for download. This first version of RDRFR puts the power of the law into your hands for the first time since Rockstar's flagship title arrived on PC. Working in conjunction with our Patreon supporters and testers, we've built a number of core features into the mod for you to enjoy with the ability to arrest suspects, go on duty and request backup in a manner similar to LSPDFR for GTA V.

We have updated LSPDFR to Version 0.4.9 (Build 8242), which adds compatibility for the new version of GTA V (v2699) - "The Criminal Enterprises"

We're back with another minor update for LSPDFR 0.4, which introduces a couple of hotly requested features, including 1893 Grapeseed Ave - an all new, modest home in a rural setting for your characters to live in. In addition to this, there's a number of other small, nifty tweaks and enhancements as well as various performance improvements and a bunch of new API functions for developers.

We've released a small update to LSPD First Response 0.2, including a number of fixes to reported issues. Ever since the release of LSPDFR 0.2, we've been working to identify the most serious problems and glitches, and hope to have fixed all of these with this new update, LSPDFR 0.2a. Among the fixes and changes included in this update are the debut of non-lethal stun guns, easier arresting and better first person view compatibility. Also included are a couple of new LSPDFR API functions for developers, including the ability to play audio over the new police radio that we introduced in 0.2, and better access to pedestrian persona data.
