I haven't tried it. I'd honestly guess that EMS Mod is probably the better bet since it's had a recent update and Rescue Mod V hasn't. I believe Rescue Mod V also has fire department work in it, where EMS Mod seems to be focused on ambulance work. I did like in the screenshots for EMS Mod that it does include pertinent medical information that you'd find when you hook a patient up to a cardiac monitor such as heart rate, blood pressure, pulse, etc, and you use that information to help you decide how to treat the patient. In real life, you always want to "treat the patient, not the number", but since you can't really manipulate the character models all that much or change their skin color, temperature and condition, the best you can do is treat the patient the way that you would in a case study. I'm curious as to whether or not the developers for both mods got any actual EMTs or fire fighters to serve as technical advisors on the mod.

There are separate mods for EMS work, including 'Rescue Mod V' by gangrenn and 'EMS Mod' by NDev, which is several years newer. Also, the LSPDFR script mod 'StopThePed' by BejoIjo allows you to try and resuscitate fallen NPCs.

Hello all, it's been a long time since I've posted any videos directly to the forum, but I figured this would be worth doing since this game is generating a lot of buzz, and all of us, besides being fans of GTA V mods, are also gamers. I've been playing video games on the regular for 26 years and counting, so I have a bit of experience. I've been involved in a number of public and private beta tests for various games and of course have had some lovely time here with the LSPDFR staff and testing team they call upon. Our primary job on that team is to look for bugs and try and improve quality for the eventual public release. Developers always refine games as best as they can with the deadlines they are given, and as some of you may know, Cyberpunk 2077 was pushed back with a delay in order to do just that. However, it's been revealed that people working on the game told members of the press that they have been in 'crunch mode' for months, even with the delay, and reviews from IGN, PC Gamer and Tom's Hardware have discovered that within the game we'll be getting on December 10th, lies a cornucopia of glitches and bugs that didn't get fixed in time. So, I've made a video comparing this game and its release to other titles some of you may or may not know of, and tell you why I believe you might be better off waiting. Enjoy, like and subscribe. You can also find me on Twitch and Twitter, check out my signature for links.

Speaking from experience with ELS and all sorts of other mods in both GTA IV and GTA V; the more stuff you add onto the game, the more likely you're going to cause problems. All players are doing is adding a ton of extra scripts to run in the background, adding on animations that aren't native to the game, multiple times over when you get several police cars involved, and adding tons of high-polygon-count models to an already busy map on an engine that may not be able to handle the detail level. This was a huge problem with GTA IV and LCPDFR, which is why I always petitioned to make as many features as possible part of the "core" LCPDFR/LSPDFR mod instead of having add-ons for everything. Because then when something finally does break, it's harder to find out what broke, and why. GTA V seems more stable overall, but I don't even have modded cars on my LSPDFR install at the moment. I'm operating with the mindset of "less is more", which has had a good track record of keeping me playing for longer periods of time without crashing.

This is all of course provided that there are supposed to be police on that map. There aren't many details available about the expansion, but from what I've learned thus far; it all revolves around a heist. This will be the first heist that you can do entirely by yourself, instead of making a group of 4 mandatory. I've also heard it has to do with a drug lord or cartel leader, but I can't confirm that in any way. If it's some kind of private island or something like that, there would be no need for a police force of any sort outside of the hired goons this person would employ. If it's supposed to be a parody of a Central American or South American country, then there may be an under-equipped police force that could be part of the story online, or they could have a weak response to criminal actions during free-roam. Who knows. I didn't expect police at all because I didn't expect the map to be that big, but we'll see.

Hello all, It's been a while since I really did anything meaningful with my YouTube channel. I had millions of views of my original videos chronicling my experience with the LCPD:FR beta several years ago when I first stated out on the testing team which I uploaded for fun, and the G17 Media administrators were nice enough to share on this website at the time to help promote LCPD:FR. I've now taken a slightly more serious approach to my YouTube channel, starting with uploading new weekly content, and taking a more professional approach to video editing and audio commentary. If anyone here is into video games of any type, not just Grand Theft Auto, I'd like to ask you to help support me and check my channel out. I plan on releasing new LSPD:FR related content in the future, but I'll be starting off with the latest big game releases for this holiday season, starting with Grand Theft Auto Online's Casino Heist, which you can view down below, and a review of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019. And as I sign off, let me give a big thank you to anyone who checked out my LCPD:FR videos years ago, and anybody who checks out my newest stuff these days.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKaA_4zaQ0o Just saw this video in my recommended earlier, though LSPDFR has NOT been credited that I can see. Worth a watch for a few laughs, and I politely reached out to the channel to try and promote LSPDFR and the community here. Hopefully they add a credit to the video or make another one where LSPDFR.com is mentioned. Also, hi guys.

Going to your cruisers trunk to replenish health and ammo was a feature in LCPDFR. As a major goal is to bring over all existing features from LCPDFR into LSPDFR, I'd expect this to make an appearance eventually.

I find that hard to believe based on industry trends, but I'll cross my fingers. DLC and in-game stores serve as the new subscription model.

Was about to say "Enjoy the $1000 in debt you'll gather putting all of the DLC on your credit card." I hate DLC.

Save up.

Firstly because you can't cram a ton of horsepower into a small engine. And most European countries have police vehicles that have even more unspeakable 0-60 times, such as the British standard Vauxhall Astra, ranging from 8 seconds in the gasoline powered version to up to 13 seconds in the diesel powered ones which are very common, but that's tolerable over there because a lot of the civilian vehicles are terribly slow also. Secondly, you don't have the same type of crime in Europe on such a large scale as you do in the United States. You have different civilian vehicles to contend with, different roadways, different pursuit policies, different gear to carry, different laws and punishments for crimes, different incarceration rate, different culture, etc. The Untied States is unique from Europe. We share some common values and principles but keeping the peace in each region of the world can be a very different job.

I agree, I don't think they should be using 6 cylinder engines at all. They should work on a more efficient V8, like the one a few companies use where the vehicle can shut off two cylinders to conserve fuel, and then give you all 8 when performance is needed. Take the variable displacement idea from Cadillac, and the stop/start idea from Toyota and roll them into a fair sized V8.

The new Expedition is okay. The 0-60 times were terrible until the newest generation came out, especially for a vehicle with that big of an engine. (0-60 in 9 seconds. My beard grows faster in 9 seconds. They should have been able to get more than 300 horsepower out of a 5.4 liter V8, or at least do something with the 300 they got considering how big and heavy that vehicle is.) The newest ones are quicker (6.5 seconds), and come with 365 horsepower from a 3.5 liter V6. My god, Ford actually made an efficient engine! Rejoice! Now if only they can start putting them in more of their vehicles and stop charging a small fortune for each one. It's still too big and heavy however, considering that the Ford "Explorer" exists, meaning there's no need for the Expedition in a police fleet. They aren't running down to Home Depot to shove lumber or potted plants in the back or carry a bunch of school children and two dogs to soccer practice in it. I'll agree that the Expedition certainly looks better than the "Explorer" does, and was clearly built to be an SUV during its inception, and the fact that the "Explorers" new and "improved" 3.7L V6 engine actually puts out 63 less horsepower than the newest EcoBoosts' in the civilian "Explorers" and Expeditions is pathetic and certainly elevates its standing in the SUV market. I'd rather drive a Chevrolet Tahoe though due to Chevrolet's tendency to use softer suspensions making the ride more tolerable off-road and on road. The previous generation fleet model Explorers and Expeditions were extremely stiff. They shatter your spine if you go over a pothole.

I summarized more or less all of that earlier, but I think you're agreeing with me without agreeing with me. They are fleet vehicles, they just happen to be cars sold with the optional police package on them (better throttle response, stiffer suspension, stripper out interior etc.). That's splitting hairs. Regarding the cost of each car vs. how many a department might buy, I think we can all do the math, friend. The thing is the money spent on equipment for the cars is going to be spent regardless of whether the vehicle is a Ford Taurus or a Lamborghini. The cost of the vehicle itself is irrelevant when focusing on my original point/question I posed above. Why can't Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge sell law enforcement agencies a four door car with good performance and a functional body shape for $35,000 to $40,000? I'm not asking the police to spend more. I'm asking Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge to charge less for their s*** cars, or start delivering the goods at their current asking price. If people would like another example of a manufacturer that doesn't screw people around for that kind of money; have a look at the BMW 3 series. You can get a four door model like the 335i/340i for around $34,000 to $38,000 if you're a civilian. New models produce about 320BHP from a turbocharged 6-cylinder engine, with 0-60 times of about 4.5 seconds and a top speed of around 140mph. These cars are also extremely well equipped, quiet and comfortable. Make whatever arguements you will about ongoing maintainence costs, but once again; the point I'm making is that BMW sells vehicles at the $35,000-$40,000 price point that are believed to be as good as they can be before rolling off the assembly line, and they outperform and outequip everything Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge have given law enforcement agencies as fleet cars to date. Why? Why can't Ford, Dodge and Chevrolet step up? A strong possibility considering the downsides of the Ford Taurus and Explorer "Interceptors". I'd actually love to see them embrace the Tesla they were given and have some kind of police specific variant of that developed for mass sales. You'll note however, that almost all of the Dodge Chargers ordered were the V6 ones due to fuel consumption. The V8 ones are being sent to academies for training (way to give your cadets a false sense of confidence in the vehicle they drive). My bulky Chevrolet SUV I owned outperforms that models 0-60 time by half a second. At least the Charger has a bigger trunk *face palm*.

People jumped in with answers rather quickly here; good. I just want to expand on a few comments with the EMS/Police work and ride along experience I've had in my life: -There is no law that prohibits you from video taping in public. If you follow them into a private business or residence, that's another issue. But if you're on a public street you may video tape all you like from across the road. -HIPAA does not cover video recordings of interactions between civilians and EMTs/Paramedics/Fire Fighters with EMT certifications, so there is no privacy issue. If they screw up during a patient assessment, or somebody gets harmed as a result of improper care; you are not liable because you didn't touch the patient. They are liable. They just don't want that on film for use in court or to be up on YouTube so everyone can see it. -Firefighters and EMS workers are not police officers. They have no power of arrest, however they can certainly harass you and send you threatening letters from lawyers. They can also potentially have a police officer come to the scene and arrest you. When you go to court, this charge will likely be thrown out, however it's a major inconvenience and might even cost you money. Some judges have also upheld charges against video recorders that should be dropped. I wouldn't risk it if you don't want to take measures to protect yourself. -Get a lawyer to help you out if you wish to continue filming (if people don't stand up to them this will continue to be the status quo), and call your local police department with reassurance you can't be arrested o r get in any kind of other trouble for doing what you're doing. They handle legal issues, Fire Departments handle fires and medical calls.

But we don't listen to the bible anymore. The book has been reinterpreted so much that now even the pope who supposedly has the most direct link to god has said that atheists can go to heaven, and there is no such thing as sin anymore, because Jesus died for all sins of mankind; past present and future. Muslim countries that do well economically and even educationally also share many of the same ideas that more primitive middle eastern countries to. The fact is that the majority of the 9/11 attackers were college educated and had good jobs. And the richest of people in countries like Saudi Arabia are in charge of government or at least have significant sway in politics; and that's a country that follows Sharia Law. It's not all about money and sociology. I won't sit here and say that doesn't play into it, but supposedly moderate or progressive middle eastern countries still have problems that stem from the religion. Lets shelf the terrorist attacks on the U.S. and western Europe for a second. Who suffers the most underneath "Islamic Extremism" as we know it? Muslims do, especially the women of many middle eastern countries. Women who have their genitals mutilated, get stoned do death if they get raped by another man, must cover themselves from head to toe to protect against men's lust for them, or get their schools blown up because men believe they shouldn't learn and should live only to serve. While economic hardships and foreign policies can help shape a nation, these ideas of how to live life don't come out of nowhere. Christians did behave as badly, but that was hundreds of years ago in an age that predated assault rifles, suicide vests filled with C4 and nuclear weapons. I understand your disdain for people who hop on the bandwagon with Sam Harris as an excuse to be bigoted, but you need to understand that there are folks who actually agree with him for the right reasons, many of which are Muslim people themselves such as Maajid Nawaz who co-write a dialogue based book with him, Irshad Manji, the founder of 'Moral Courage TV' or Raheel Raza, a Muslim journalist and interfaith public speaker who say that the way the Qur'an is being interpreted in many places around the world is an issue that needs to be addressed and that not talking about it will worsen things. The numbers Sam Harris and others gives unfortunately are not inflated. Some of them are based on opinion polls from Pew Poll or Gallop Poll, and are quite detailed on views of Israel, Democracy, Terrorism, ISIS, etc. If you were to shove Turkey into the spotlight as an example, a country that is in turmoil right now; about 8% agree with the ideals of ISIS. Now that doesn't sound like a large number, but Turkey is a country of 75 million people, so that makes 6 million people who have the potential to be undeniably dangerous; and that's just in Turkey alone. Keep in mind that number does not account for people who have negative views of minorities such as people of different faiths and homosexuals, nor does it account for people who would harm or kill people for apostasy or harm, kill or prosecute people for making fun of the prophet. Those percentages could be and likely are much higher. I'd have to go through all the poll data. I can at least recall that in a 2013 Pew Poll, 75% of Turkish people hated Israel and 16% thought it was okay to suicide bomb people. That last figure was a 200% increase since the year 2011. I dislike all organized religion, and in the U.S. I think Christianity has way too much influence on domestic political policies, but I'm picking on Islam in this scenario because since the IRA, no group of people has blown up more crap around the world repeatedly than 'Islamic Extremists'. When the Christians in this country stop taking legal action to keep trans-gendered people out of bathrooms and start killing them all, I'll gladly change my focus because it will become a more immediate problem and shift the tone of U.S. religious nonsense from being ridiculous to being dangerous. As Bill Maher once said (to paraphrase him): "In a civilized society, people sue each other. They don't kill each other." Both are crappy things to do, and the U.S. is indeed very litigious, but I'd much rather live here than almost anywhere else, and I'd much rather have people raise kids on U.S. values.

I don't have much to contribute to this thread other than to point out that those screenshots are hilarious and they put a smile on my face. Thanks!

All this information is good, but can't your post be summarized by saying "You can do all this stuff do become a cop, but you're not going to get hired because there are no jobs."? Maybe you could make this thread of yours a super-center of police academy info and gather this stuff for all 50 states, or at least help out your friends in Illinois who wish to go into this line of work by looking some of this stuff up for neighboring state since they apparently won't get hired in IL.

It actually more or less is. They are called fleet vehicles and they can also be ordered by different emergency services, limo companies and taxi companies. Police versions of these cars are fleet vehicles that have stiffer suspensions, better shifting and occasionally a sharper throttle response. Police departments have to add their own equipment to the car as different departments will use different computers, siren and light systems, ram bars, rifle or shotgun mounting points, ANPR computers & cameras, etc. This is almost entirely done post-delivery unless its specifically requested that Ford/Chevrolet/Dodge do it for you. The price point of $35,000 I gave you is for a Dodge Charger with absolutely nothing on it. No equipment at all. Adding another $5000 for a much better car seems like a no-brainer to me. On the subject of equipment however, I'd also like to point out that Ford is now pitching the idea of having their own hideaway and visor bar LED systems come with the cars as standard rather than having to go through a third party company for lighting solutions. If they're willing to include it in the price point as articles suggest, then Chevrolet should also be able to do this, and all of a sudden the Chevy SS's would become the new favorite.

I'm not talking about specific countries, I'm talking about a specific religion; stop going off topic and debate my points, not your emotions. Why don't you go door to door of every 9/11 victim's family or San Bernadino victim's family or Orlando victim's family, etc. and tell them that their deaths are largely irrelevant? If you didn't wind up bruised and broken as a result of at least one person kicking your ass for saying something like that about their lost loved one, I'd be stunned. Loss of human life as a result of a terror attack isn't something to be taken lightly, and I'm appalled that you think small numbers makes it okay. Nobody here is mixing up Muslims who practice their faith peacefully and those who don't, because we're not talking about them. The subject is the religion itself, not those who practice it, like I said in the above paragraph. You're the one shifting the conversation from 'Islam' to 'Muslim' and those are two totally different things. One is a faith, the other is an ethnic group. Understand that talking in public, openly and without reservations about how bad Christianity was during the dark ages of Europe was what led to the resurgence of European culture, intelligence and ultimately; democratic governments that allow you the freedom of religion to begin with. There is no logical reason as to why people who have an understanding of the faith shouldn't be able to criticize the Qur'an and the Hadiths and the fact that they're being interpreted too literally for the year 2016. And good, it's probably for the best that you don't talk about Israel if you consider them to be equally ill-behaved as many middle eastern countries. If you read the Qur'an, it's actually very related to this topic, but we'll have to side step that for now. And Sam Harris points that out. He's gone on record as saying the Old Testament is the worst book ever written in the course of human history, but the problem is that large numbers of people that practice of Islam still interpret the Qur'an's violent or inhumane passages literally, whereas people who take the Bible's violent passages such as Jesus saying those who don't follow him will burn, or those about slavery being okay or killing women for being unfaithful are very minimal in number and do not effect political policy or pop culture in America or Western Europe. If anything, you're being intellectually lazy for commenting without reading more of Sam Harris's articles, listening to any podcasts or watching his debates with people from all faiths including Judaism and Christianity. Summing his life's work up by saying "Muslims are causing all the religious problems in the world" is very uninformed or maybe 'unenlightened', to say the least. And needless to say, he's not exactly the only person on the face of the earth talking about these issues (see the late Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Salman Rushdie, Bill Nye, etc.). You picked a good example, however. People continue to make the mistake of confusing the word 'Muslim' with the word 'Islam'. One is an ethnic group, the other is a faith. Young Muslims who practice Islam in a way that promotes or condones terrorism or unequal treatment of minorities and women are not always necessarily at complete fault for doing so, because they're being given an interpretation of the Qur'an that is literal and unaltered. This is primarily done in the middle east, but there are problems with this in the Untied States as well. The people who teach this faith the way they do need to be kicked off of their platforms and replaced with people who have a 2016 interpretation that is more in line with the "religion of peace" people so often claim Islam is. We can't help empower the young Muslim people who care about human rights if we don't talk about this seriously and openly. Attributing criticism of Islam or any other religion to a phobia is dismissive, and frankly dangerous.

They're in demand because the other manufacturers are putting out dog turds on wheels while Ford has managed to put out warmed dog turds on wheels. All of the current police vehicles from Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge are terrible. They're slow, ugly, heavy, expensive and uninspired because they're based off of existing mediocre civilian cars, they are not police vehicles designed from the group up like Ford promised before the Interceptor was unveiled and it turned out to be a Taurus SHO with a bunch of stuff stripped out and a small trunk that can't fit anything in it, so now departments all over the U.S. have to get cumbersome top-heavy SUVs instead with the same engine, further reducing performance. I can't possibly be the only person who sees this. Please. The Taurus and Explorer share the same chassis and engine, which explains the performance, although that figure is likely a lie considering you can't possibly expect the same car with a heavier body to be just as fast, that's mathematically impossible without changing the engine. That being said; that fact sheet about performance is only true if departments buy the twin turbo charged V6 versions of those cars. Many departments can't afford them and end up buying EcoBoosts instead because its more cost effective both on initial purchase price and also on the town's fuel budget for the department. When the engines are downgraded, this puts the vehicles right back at the 0-60 in 6 seconds (as opposed to the slightly improved 0-60 in 5 seconds the most expensive Taurus Interceptor offers) benchmark the old Charger and CVPIs had. Numbers don't lie, but Ford might. I resent them for not doing what they promised; putting in actual effort to build a police specific vehicle from the ground up. Decently quick four door cars with a V8 engine don't need to cost $50,000. I don't know what the hell Ford, Chevy & Dodge's problems are. Hell, the new Caprice had the same base engine as a Corvette. Why does it have so much less horsepower and torque? Why is it made of such heavy materials? Why does a base model of any of these cars with no emergency equipment on it and basic creature comforts stripped out cost $35,000-40,000? A Chevrolet SS costs about $49,000; has a 6.2L V8 Corvette engine that puts out 415BPH, goes from 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, with a top speed of 163mph, has four doors, an automatic transmission with manual gear change paddles if you wish to use them, and it looks great in black. Why can't Chevrolet knock $5,000 - $10,000 off the price by stripping out equipment and sell police departments that car?: The soundtrack the exhaust gives you isn't bad either:

Name me another religion that in 2016 has a large group of people who belong to it that mutilates women's genitals, beheads apostates and wants to gain a nuclear weapon for the purpose of wiping out Israel. Even scores of people who don't commit these acts themselves approve and even applaud this behavior. There are reams of polling data to back this up besides taking a look at current events; it's not a diatribe.

Sounds like crap with the low frequencies/rumbler enabled.

And all of them are as ugly and slow as ever. Hurry up and go back to the drawing board, Ford. These are all terrible vehicles with the possible exception of the F-150 for general use by a civilian; but it's not necessarily the best law enforcement vehicle.
