LSPD Personnel and Training Division/2022

The Personnel and Training Division was in charge of recruiting and training cadets for the Los Santos Police Department. This was a division where the LSPD train the police officers of tomorrow.

On March 21st, 2022, the Los Santos Police Department and Paleto Bay Sheriff's Office decided to split their operations, to focus on hiring and training their own cadets. This came about after Anita May and Matthew Espinoz, the leaders of Personnel & Training, confronted Chief of Police Sam Baas about hiring more cadets than the 7 slots allowed for. At the time, the PBSO had 13 non-solo cadets (including 2 diversity hires and 3 recruited in 2021 which were agreed to not be included in the new 7 limit), while LSPD had 16 non-solo cadets (including 4 diversity hires and 1 recruited in 2021) making the total number of standard cadets for each department: 11 LSPD - 8 PBSO. A decision was met on March 25th, 2022 to separate the division, with each department having separate hiring & training programs.

On November 14th, 2022, this division was effectively dissolved following the department split of the LSPD.
