HCDPS

I haven't seen one on here, but I created one for a CVPI a year or so ago for personal use. I'll dig through my files and see if I can find it for you...

Yes we are, please visit our website for more information about our application and interview process.

On this series premiere of 10-23, we sit down with Sheriff Shaw and Chief Deputy O'Neill to take an up close look at the Harbor County Fleet. Explore the HCSO and HCFD vehicle fleet with commentary on the philosophy and style of the community from Sheriff Shaw and Chief Deputy O'Neill. "10-23" is a recurring series produced by the Harbor County Department of Public Safety Role Play Community. Episodes will be available as content is generated, so be sure to subscribe and keep your eyes open for our next episode of 10-23! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDfFM49Arpo

Awesome work as always.

I think I know those episodes. If we're thinking of the same guy he's actually HPD (Houston Police). I remember a few episodes with HPD with the same FTO yelling things at the rookies like "Cross fire!" and "clear the truck!" and stuff like that, and laughing at the blank face the rookies gave him lol. I have met one of the HCSO Deputies from COPS before, "Rex" Evans. He appeared in a few episodes, driving one of our old Tahoe's. Most people would probably remember him from the show making a prostitution bust at a truck stop, and pulling a little dog from a flipped over car at an accident. He's a Captain with HCSO now, pretty cool guy.

Yes you could transfer to any other position in the community. Thank you for the compliment.

If you are not currently a member with any other GTA IV communities, I would reccomend you apply or a full time membership. If you deicde to join another GTA IV community in the future, you can always transfer to a Reserve membership with Harbor County. The reserve program is designed to allow our memebrs to also be members in another community and be active with both at the same time. We realize that there is no magic one size fits all place when it comes to gaming communities. However, we do feel that some aspects of our community may interest you, while you may also be interested in something another community has to offer. So, Reserve members are allowed to be part of Harbor County while remaining an active member in another GTA IV community. I'll get you an email shortly with the new information.

The only position that does not require a functional copy of GTA IV is Public Safety Dispatcher. We do provide limited technical support for our members, but in all honesty none of us have ever heard of or encountered the issue you are describing so we wouldn't be able to help you fix it.

Hello Bossnix, This is caused by Google Chrome being over paranoid when it comes to SSL uses. For a temporary fix, please click on the shield in the upper right portion of the url/address bar and click "Load anyway". Google Support Topic on this issue: http://support.googl...&answer=1342714 Summary: This page loads a few files that are not from a secure (ssl) and could possibly be intercepted (as with any http:// transmission). So for your protection, if you were on a financial web site, Google Chrome wants to protect you by blocking the page. In this case it is being over paranoid and is nothing to worry about. All data that you transmit (name, e-mail, and other info) is transmitted to the site via SSL. Which meaning that it is harder for a middle man to capture any of the data. Anyways, I hope this helps. Thank for your interest in our community and for your understanding in this matter.

Harris County Sheriff's Office, Houston, Texas. Then again, I did get hired by them as a Reserve Deputy earlier this year, so maybe I'm biased :whistling:

From the Office of Sheriff Shaw It is hard to believe 3 months have gone by already since our official launch. I would like to take this opportunity to provide a brief update about what has been happening in our community over the last 3 months as well as some of the exciting upcoming events we have planned. We began working on the creation of our community in March of 2012, and spent many months creating and implementing the infrastructure to support our operations. From the website, to the a Teamspeak server, to policy manuals, cars, uniforms, and what seemed like a never ending list of tasks to complete, we finally celebrated our Official Launch on June 30th, 2012. On Launch Day, we started out with just 3 members (the staff) and as of October 1, 2012, we have accepted 23 new members to the Harbor County Community and continue to receive new applications every week. Many projects are still in the works, including several new videos to share with the GTA community and various improvements and additions to the Harbor County world. We also wish to extend congratulations to the following members for their recent promotions: Deputy Shepard has been promoted to Master Deputy Cadet Smith has been promoted to Probationary Deputy Cadet Leinard has been promoted to Probationary Deputy Cadet Shkreli has been promoted to Probationary Deputy Cadet O’Conner has been promoted to Probationary Deputy Cadet Boyd has been promoted to Probationary Deputy (Below: Sheriff Shaw and Chief Deputy O'Neill pose with some of the newly promoted Deputies outside the joint use LCPD / HCSO Academy following the Promotion ceremony) The last 3 months have gone by so quickly it almost seems surreal, but we are very glad to have each and ever one of our members. We are even more thankful for the excellent feedback and positive support we have received from the GTA Community as a whole, and the members of the LCPDFR community here. We are confident that Harbor County will have a very long and successful future in the world of GTA IV Role Play. October Headlines Drive Safe this Halloween The members of the Harbor County Department of Public Safety wish to extend Happy Halloween wishes to all the residents of Liberty City. Please drive carefully this year, wear your seat belts, and remember to drink responsibly and designate a driver. Last year on Halloween night in Liberty City there were 11 fatal car crashes with 13 fatalities, including 4 pedestrians that were struck by careless drivers. 2 of these fatal accidents were the result of drunk drivers. There were also 36 crashes with serious injuries. The Deputies of the Harbor County Sheriff’s Office will be out enforcing the law with zero tolerance this Halloween to help keep everyone safe, so remember to click it or ticket and designate a driver. Zero Tolerance Traffic Event on 10/21 at 8pm CST The HCSO will be having a zero tolerance traffic event on Sunday October 21st at 8pm Central time. All available Deputies are encouraged to go on duty and issue traffic citations with zero tolerance. In 2011, throughout Liberty City and Harbor County there were a total of 66,428 traffic accidents. Of those, 344 were fatal accidents and 7,477 were serious injury accidents. Based on the statistics from last year it is clear that the drivers of Liberty City need to be reminded to obey the traffic laws and drive safely. With the Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year holidays rapidly approaching, the HCDPS needs to send a message to drivers to slow down, and be careful. Fleet Pass Weekend October 19th-21st Fleet Pass is one of Harbor County's monthly events. During Fleet Pass weekends, our normal fleet restrictions are lifted and our members are free to operate whichever vehicles from our fleet they desire. This month's Fleet Pass event has been scheduled to coincide with our Zero Tolerance Traffic event. Holiday Zero Tolerance As the Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year holiday season approaches, the Harbor County DPS wants to remind all Liberty City residents to enjoy their holiday safely. Sheriff Shaw and the rest of the HCSO will be working over the holidays, and starting October 19th they will resume their regular "Click it or Ticket" and "Over the Limit, Under Arrest" advertising campaigns around Liberty City. This year's focus also includes emphasis on underage drinking. HCSO Deputies will be enforcing these laws with a zero tolerance policy so remember, designate a driver to get you home safely and whether you're in the front seat or the back, every ride, every time, click it or ticket. Closing Comments In closing, let me again say that we greatly appreciate the response we have received from the GTA Community as a whole, and in particular the staff and the entire team behind the LCPDFR mod and this website.To the LCPDFR team, and all the other modders in the community, It is our distinct pleasure to give the users of your amazing work a common place to meet, play, and enjoy your efforts. We look forward to having a bright future in the GTA world, and in continuing to bring realistic role play to a new level.

Some people will get bent out of shape about the language in the movie but in my opinion, it's real. Anyone who has ever done a ride a long or knows a police officer knows that when they aren't interacting with the public, they can be quite vulgar and inappropriate. Sort of a release mechanism for the stress of the job. The movie is excellent despite the adult subject matter which may be difficult for some to watch, it was a great film for anyone who isn't afraid of a little realism.

I'd be interested in that. What exactly does it do? Just remove the dog texture / model from the car?

Texas. Things are different here, after all this isn't the United States. It's the sovereign Republic of Texas. At least, some of the more crazy people here would have you believe that lol. Here's a picture of one of our tow trucks with a blue / amber lightbar.

Yeah it's very weird. This is the only place I've lived where anything but fire / police is allowed to have those colors. Everywhere else it's been amber. Like I said where I'm from originally police are blue lights, fire is red lights, everyone else is amber lights. Most of the tow trucks here have a combination of red / blue / amber, but there are some construction supervisors that have personal vehicles equipped with more red / blue lighting than actual police cars. It's really weird to see some old beat up junker car at the beginning of a construction zone with enough red and blue lights to make a code 3 run safely... As far as I know, the construction vehicle thing here is an exemption to the law. The construction supervisors are only allowed to have those lights on while their vehicle is parked in an active construction zone. It's intended to be a way to get drivers to slow down approaching the work zone because they think there are cops there. It's still messed up to me though. Yeah it's very weird.
