I have a few questions about the LAPD and I hope this is the right forum section to post them. 1) I've seen pictures of officers wearing both short-sleeve shirt and long-sleeve shirt + tie. Are both of them used on patrol or the long-sleeve one is used for ceremonial purposes only or maybe when it's cold outside? Same question for the police caps, I rarely (if ever) see officers wear their caps outside parades or other official gatherings. 2) When is an officer allowed to use his baton? I don't see them wearing on them all the time and running back to the car to get it doesn't seem very practical. Is unholdering the weapon seen like a better way of showing authority and demanding compliance than wielding a baton which might make them look like thugs? 3) Which type of Glock is the standard issue firearm? Or are police officers allowed to choose any caliber (and maybe pay for the weapon)? 4) Do officers from one station always patrol the same neighboring areas? Or they are also patrolling other parts of town? 5) Are there any rules or guidelines as to when can police cars ram the suspects vehicle? I'm thinking mainly about financial reasons, will officers get in trouble if they damage their patrol cars too often, during chases of course. I know some of the questions sound silly but I'd like to play LSPDFR in a more accurate way than how I do it currently. If anyone else has questions about LAPD, you can post them here.

Sorry for the late reply, I went straight to bed after writing the post. I'm glad you got it working, it must have had something to do with the disk version, for the Steam edition the install instructions work: I have to replace "police" in x64e while for the other police vehicles (police2, police4 and sheriff so far) I have to replace them in x64/dlcpacks/patchday3ng. You can replace the sheriff stanier by simply renaming the .yft,ytd mod files to "sheriff" and "sheriff_hi", then put them in the same folder you put the "police" files when you fixed your problem. I've used the same process for "police4" (aka unmarked version) but now I see that a somebody made a mod for it. http://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/8573-1999-ford-crown-victoria-slicktop-unmarked-unitcruiser-now-includes-white-cruiser/ Also for the K-9 LSPD texture: https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/cvpi-1999-model-textures-lspd-high-res-and-unmarked-vehicle-1-0-0

While I won't say about any mod that it's crap, I do agree that the 1999 model is a better option at the moment. I used dblock's CVPI for a while but the vehicle has a bunch of problems, the model doesn't deform correctly (especially if you use a deform mod) parts of the model will crush while others will just float in the air, windows don't break and I get a lot of texture flickering on the front bumper guard. The 1999 model on the other hand works almost as well as the vanilla police cruiser. The model comes with two textures folder for the LSPD and LSSD and you can use those to replace the existing textures in the .ytd files. - I used this texture mod for the LSSD cruiser: https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/ls-county-sheriff-1999-ford-crown-victoria - Took the black interior texture from this mod: https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/orange-county-sheriff-chp-black-interior-crown-victoria-realism-textures - Fixed the speedometer using this mod: http://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/8568-crowvictoria-speedometer-fixer-gta-5-mph/?tab=reviews#review-30504 I photoshoped the gauge textures from this mod and the one with the black interior to have a black color gauge with a the correct MPH. A few images of how they look: http://imgur.com/a/8ZOAt (I bet they would look a lot better on higher graphics, also never do photo shoots on a cloudy day)

The Highway Patrol officer is alive, he was knocked down while trying to arrest the suspect. The armored Kuruma comes with the Bank Callouts mod.

Thanks for the quick replies guys! @ineseri, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I followed a youtube video tutorial to add the partner but they forgot to mention that you have to disable certain keys. @Kirigaya, thanks for the link. I will give that a try as well. EDIT: Everything makes sense now, the spawn key for attack drivers is Page Up, which is also a key for the Cruise Control mod. And I only use cruise control when I patrol so that why I didn't get attacked while playing as Michael.

I have tried Simple Trainer but for some reason whenever I spawned or recruited another officer, after about 1 minute half a dozen red cars spawn behind me and shoot me to pieces. When I spawned a bodyguard without going to the station, the red cars didn't appeared in the ~5 minutes I drove around as Michael. So the trainer seems to be conflicting with the LSPDFR mod, I don't know why and I didn't find anyone else that has this problem. Image of the red cars: http://i.imgur.com/f7r3GNg.jpg Are there any scripts right now that I can load to give me a partner when I go on duty? Or another trainer that will work better with the LSPDFR mod?

LSPDFR is the only reason I launched GTA V again after 2 months of not playing a single minute. A really good start and I hope it will become just as good or even better then the LCPDFR mod. I also have a suggestion/request to make. I would like an option to tell pedestrians to leave the area. For example in gang territory, when I id a group of people and only one of them is wanted, I would like to ask the rest of them to leave the area so I can deal with that guy without risking a shootout when his friends jump me.
