State Agencies listája
This is a list of state agencies within the State of San Andreas. This list is not exhaustive. Do note, a number of agencies on this list do not exist in the in-game world on an "official" basis like Official Factions, but they do exist on an IC basis "offmap."
Los Santos Police Department (LSPD)
The Los Santos Police Department was founded in 1853 during the San Andreas Gold Rush and consisted primarily of a voluntary militia. Due to its location, San Andreas was known for violence with Los Santos becoming one of the most dangerous cities in the United States for several years during this period. The militia group, known as the ‘San Andreas Rangers’ eventually formed the first paid police force when they were merged with another militia company, the Los Santos City Guards, in 1869. The Los Santos Police Department now serves as one of the largest law enforcement agencies in the United States, and the largest in San Andreas.
Los Santos County Sheriff's Department (LSSD)
The Los Santos County Sheriff's Department was established in 1850 shortly after the Mexican-American War. After the founding of the independent San Andreas Republic and the voluntary annexation by the United States, law enforcement was subsumed under the Los Santos Rangers (which became the Los Santos Police Department) and the Los Santos Sheriff.] The "frontier era" of Los Santos saw the worst era of organized crime in the county, as the gold rush brought a massive population explosion and crime. The Union Pacific Railroad Company brought another explosion, and it caused a string of 15 Sheriffs, several of which were killed in gunfights, to enter a veritable revolving door. Up until after the civil war, the Sheriff's Department consisted of the Sheriff and cronies as deputies.
Los Santos Fire Department
The Los Santos Fire Department is one of the largest fire departments in the United States and provides firefighting services to the entire city of Los Santos.
Judiciary of San Andreas (JSA)
The Judiciary of San Andreas is one of the chambers of government within the state of San Andreas.
San Andreas Department of Justice - Division of Law Enforcement (SADOJ - DLE) - SABI, SABF, SABFS, SABGC, SABMFEA
The San Andreas Department of Justice - Division of Law Enforcement is the centralized hub authority responsible for the Bureau of Investigation, San Andreas Bureau of Firearms, San Andreas Bureau of Forensic Services, San Andreas Bureau of Gambling Control, and San Andreas Bureau of Medical Fraud and Elder Abuse. These agencies are all ancillary, specialized investigative details assigned to assisting the San Andreas Attorney General. Tracing their history back to the lineage of the San Andreas Rangers, these agencies conduct a wide variety of investigations, some of which include joint taskforces with federal counterparts, sexual predator tracking, electronic crimes, computer crimes, wire fraud, gaming violations, and beyond.
In 2020, the Bureau of Investigation, the dominant arm of the SA DOJ DLE, had its funding cut to a substantial extent after the election of Governor Robert Brandt. This funding cut crippled the Department of Justice's law enforcement capabilities and caused a draw-down of their enforcement.
San Andreas Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (SADCR)
The San Andreas Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (SADCR) is the agency of the government of San Andreas responsible for the operation of the burgeoning San Andreas prison system. Its headquarters are located in Central San Andreas.
San Andreas Highway Patrol (SAHP)
The San Andreas Highway Patrol (SAHP) is the agency of the government of San Andreas responsible for patrolling interstates and highways within the entire jurisdiction of San Andreas. The SAHP was established in 1930 as a division of the Department of Motor Vehicles, and subsequently established as an independent entity in 1949. In 1995, the San Andreas State Police (the agency tasked with guarding state buildings) was merged with the San Andreas Highway Patrol. The primary mission of the SAHP centers around the enforcement of traffic law and investigation of motor vehicle accidents.
