Because someone decided to bump the thread really stupidly, we're going to have to start a new topic. Let's get some things straight.
 
GTAPOLICEMODS HAS CLOSED DOWN, AND WILL NOT RETURN. Sure, we were slightly malinformed, but if the infrastructure and pageviews are failing, its what they have to do.
MODELS ARE NOT CURRENTLY DOWNLOADABLE. This is the most serious effect - two of my mods cannot be used with non-els cars now, a large percentage of LCPDFR models retextures cannot be used because the site is down.
A MOD ARCHIVE IS TO BE SET UP ON HIGHSPEED-GAMING.COM, HOWEVER NO DATE HAS BEEN GIVEN.  BxBugs told me, however, nothing much has happened since. However, he has released some 'critical' GTA IV mods onto the site by one or two people's request. Currently, we have to wait patiently until the archive is up and running to get your mods back.
 
I hope this is informative for you. Its a real shame it had to close down, and I wish everyone the best who is trying to recover and reupload.
 
EDIT: It's nearly been five months since I created this topic, and nearly a whole year on, we've had no answer. GTAPoliceMods is well and truly dead. The odds of it coming back are starting to slim out, and reuploading of mods has not happened. I would reupload what I have in my folders, but for one, it is technically piracy, and also, I may not possess all that is required for some of the mods.
 
But worry not! The fight isn't over! There is still hope it will come back. Someday.

I'M FAIRLY LOCAL!
...when it comes to these cars. I wish I could have seen them in service.
HUMBERSIDE POLICE:

 
Vauxhall Senator, yaas.

Range Rover Classic with big twat pole, YAAS.
Rover 827i, can't believe we had one of these.
Ford Fiesta, loving the rotator beacon up top, note the missing hubcaps.
Vauxhall Astra, missing hubcaps again, note the lightbar choice and first-gen Renault Trafic in background.
Vauxhall VectraCorsa, woah, hubcaps!

Proton PERSONA. (I'M CALLING IT THAT), they're all gone now, :(
Either it were an Impian or this, but I remember seeing the top of a lightbar like that on the way across Drypool Bridge at traffic lights c.2008-09.

'Old Spice' Proton Impian, the last of the rotator IRVs, note the 'new' 2003 livery. Battenburg sucks.
And as a 'treat'...

Ugly piece of sh*t, sh*tbox, godawful thing, new Citroen C5 Peugeot 308 IRV. Words cannot describe how much I hate this...thing.

Incredibly-photogenic Thames Valley Police Discovery.

Europe is asleep, let's post photos of a e s t h e t i c American police cars!

Sorry for the very late response - I'm afraid it won't be. The design is too basic and bad for continued upload. Maybe I might instead make a new version based on something else,  such as, say, 1980s Detroit.

Well... it's been a minute.

More on this soon.
 
I think I might need to completely redesign my whole profile. God, some of the cringe I posted...
 
SITREP:
I'm fully relaunching my mods page for a smaller, better-quality selection of GTA IV mods. In this case, instead of hiding them for preservation, I have now deleted nearly all of my previous British mods, as well as some of my more low-quality mods with dubious legality regarding the use of player-created logos. Only a select few shall eventually remain.
 
What I intend on doing is now focusing on what I like best - a lore-friendly classic New York experience for GTA IV. I will be revamping all of my old LCPD mods that feature liveries in Grabber Blue to be more high quality, by means of more correct fonts and my trademark 'hyperdetail' I am bringing over from my newfound area of expertise in OMSI 2. Maybe, I hope, I might be able to get something like a proper LCPD Merit Classic rolling. But that all depends on whether I want to work on it and whether I am able to, logos, liveries and fonts withstanding.
 
My mods are going to be less frequent, and I expect my activity on the website is going to be even less frequent. A lot has changed since my last posts in 2018, especially in my perception of American law enforcement. I'm not planning on letting this spill over into any of my site activity, though, as I'm aware it might be a bit of a contentious issue here.
 
In short, I'm going quality over quantity now. Expect less frequent, but better-looking content sooner or later.

Hopefully not as classist and Elite as DOJRP. the LSPDFR/LCPDFR has always been way more welcoming to new members. Super excited to see what's next. 

Better than a black-and-white, though.

I've already mentioned this with cpast over on Discord, and he has acknowledged that the 'featured' section of the gallery is not thought about much. As such, I would just like to remind the admins that it does, in fact, exist, but it does need a good update or two. There are mostly IV screenshots from around about 2013-2015 that are still featured there, with only one or two V screens featured, and I know that removing their featured status may not prove popular with some - is there a way to put a 'previously featured' badge on some mods? - but I think this really should change with the amount of V mods and artistic screenshots that are supplementing them.
 
So in short, would updating featured be possible, like on a monthly rota, so we won't have to look at the same old IV pics anymore? Not saying that they aren't good anymore, they're just a bit...dated.

I do agree, it does get old seeing the exact same images day in and day out.  (Explains why we're all fed up with Will.  )
 
Featured images has generally been a Content Team task, and with our lack of Content Team, featured images has just been forgotten.    I'll be honest, I don't think featured images is an important thing.  Yeah, it's nice to show off really cool screenshots, but it's so difficult to maintain with just how many images are uploaded per day.  Rather than trying to maintain it, I think the better options are to either a) Stick with the images we currently have and do nothing.  b) Get rid of featured images.  c)  Slowly change pictures to ones that staff unanimously agree are worth featuring.  Though, the latter would be a bit too much, 'cause it's still a lot of work just for one section.
 
Another possible alternative to 'featured images' is 'previews' /  'showcase', which is random screenshots that serve one purpose, show off LSPDFR in action.  This might be the better option because we won't need to change the images at all or try and worry about "is this feature worthy?"

Why have you started an argument in a thread that's just over five or so months old...

This is possible getting a tad out of hand...

Everyone here seems to point the finger on the guns. Yes they do need to be harder to access. But actually, what is the one thing common in all these shootings (except terrorrist related ones like San Bernandino and Orlando)? Mental health. The US needs to mainstream its mental health.
 
I would suggest that before any restrictions on guns are put into place, the US should have a federal based gun ownership system run by the ATF or DHS. Florida has some of the least tight gun laws where these mass shootings happen most. 
 
I like guns, but when you've got shitty politics involved, it really makes me wonder: could we actually be safer by banning say an AR-15? The NRA is one of the biggest problems. Here in the UK we actually have an NRA (which is actually older) but a) no one has ever heard of it and b) it doesn't even have any political inflence. 
 
I'm sick of these shootings and until something is done they will happen. I'm just glad the suspect was caught alive

I saw that video on a Discord server. It was just horrible to hear.

You know, I think that was you committing multiple copyright violations. And major sporting bodies like the NHL, the IOC and the NFL really don't like copyright violations. That was definitely your wrongdoing, there.

Drama erupted. Honestly, I feel like maybe it should come back too, as I do have a lot of things to say that don't really need a full-blown topic.
 
Regardless, though, I feel like those were the good old days, too, even though I would have never known LCPD:FR existed then. If only I were able to join in the GTA IV prime time...
