General Description[]
Founded by Lance Malton and Domenic Toretti with the intent to reduce the rate of houses getting robbed on the south side, its main goal is to catch burglars by going there unmarked at night, waiting for Breaking and Entering (B&Es) calls from dispatch, even if it means staking out all night in the same spot.
Since the foundation of this extremely proactive group, the "B&Es" calls have significantly decreased in numbers.
Lance Malton stated that the BTF is a subdivision of the JTF.
Origin[]
Malton and Toretti during one of their many stakeouts, in which they often find themselves having long conversations to kill time, started jokingly talk about the BTF: "Burglary Task Force", an unofficial "Task Force" in which they are part of and that has the mission to reduce at a minimum crime relating House Robberies and House Burglaries on the South Side.
Requirements[]
- Being able to kill dogs: it's very common to get mauled by one after breaching a house, so it's best for the member of the BTF to not hesitate and shoot the canine that's trying to protect the household;
- Have the permission to go Unmarked: the best way to stake out the area without attracting attention is to go plain clothes with a badge and Unmarked vehicles.
Perks[]
- Kill dogs;
- Breach houses without announcing themselves.
Mottos[]
- "Follow the Smell of Plastic" - Official BTF Motto
- "The Dogs are Expendable" - Unofficial BTF Motto
- "We are hard... emotionally - Lance Malton
