Statement From The Colonel
Troopers and fellow staff,
This past month saw the department undergo further changes to improve relations with our neighbouring agencies, Bone County Sheriff’s Office and the Los Santos County Fire Department. These relations were boosted by the joint co-operation in a tri-agency effort against the rising violent crime in the town of Blueberry, Red County. I would like to thank these agencies for their efforts and for showing such professionalism when working with our staff. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and an even more enjoyable New Year! To those working during the celebrations, I hope your shift wasn't too taxing.
As we go into January you may start to notice some changes to our bureaus. In particular, Training Operations. I am delighted to announce that Captain Nathan Kenway will be taking up the Directorship position of this bureau which will specialize in the recruitment and training of our new police academy entrants and any other additional training or re-training that our troopers may require. The introduction of this bureau should allow for more focus to be put on recruitment and training, giving the Administrative Services Bureau Director the time to focus on the remaining ASB divisions.
I aim to complete the last volume of the revised department handbook this month. As one of the more lengthier volumes and arguably the most important, it will take the majority of my focus.
I would also like to welcome Lieutenant Milagro back into the ranks of High Command staff. With work-loads in the department increasing, it only made sense to offer Edward the opportunity to take up the position given his past experience in the department. Expect further changes to the commanding officer rank bracket very soon!
Finally, if you have completed one or more valid duty reports for the month of December then you will be eligible for an overtime bonus. An official list will be e-mailed out later this evening. You can redeem your bonus from now until 10th January 2021. Please see a member of High Command for your bonus.
Kind regards,
Colonel Bob Holt
Head of Department Operations

Trooper Hailey Monaghan
Earlier this month I needed an FTO that fit a specific time zone for a probationary trooper, upon doing a bit of digging the only person I found was Hailey. She stepped up to the plate massively in having a probationary and she's done so happily.
Hailey has stepped in when we needed her most and has also shown great promise and efforts towards ID.
Commended by Sergeant Mark Graham, Director of Field Training and Sergeant Madison Longhorn.

NEWSLETTER ANNOUNCEMENT
The new year is soon upon us, and time has flown within the Training Operations Bureau. Since taking Directorship of the Bureau following my reassignment from the Administrative Services Bureau, we've seen the intake of a new batch of Probationary Troopers join the ranks. I am enjoying watching them develop into their roles and wish them the best of luck as they continue to progress through their Probationary phases. In addition to this, Sergeant Graham was welcomed back to the role of Director of Field Training, a role which he is settling into well and I thank him for his continued work in this festive period.
Changes to the way we recruit staff into the Department have been made and I thank all of those who have been involved in this transition. We have developed a new process for recruitment which is overseen my our competent Supervisory Team. This adjustment allows for much prompter response in application handling and I am keen to see how this initiative develops with future batches.
The mainstay of my work within December has been within the Academic Training Unit, a new Academy structure is in the works for future batches, with a key shift in the way things are done being with the bulk of written/theoretical training has now been collated into an online resource which is much clearer and detailed. This will be available to Academy Students as soon as they have been accepted into an Academy Batch. This gives them the opportunity to study/pre-read the theoretical aspects of the way we work here in the San Andreas State Police, further preparing them updated Police Academy. This resource will be made available as a PDF as well as a narrated lecture format, thus being inclusive in the way different individuals learn.
By removing the bulk of theoretical training from the actual Police Academy, it gives rise to the opportunity for more practical training and demonstrations to take place with this extra time. I'm keen to see quality training being delivered to our prospective students, and I hope that by removing the historically lengthy and time-consuming theory lectures from the session, it will result in more engaged students and they will take more away from the sessions. I am working closely with the ATU leadership team and I am excited to see these changes take shape.
My task going into the new year will be to overhaul the current examination system with fresh and updated examinations which will aim to bring out the best in our Students and benefit the wider department as a result. Watch this space.
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and I wish you all a very happy New Year.
Kind Regards,

Greetings,
I want to keep this brief as December has been a slow month not only for Field Services but the department as a whole. December has been slow and because of that Field Services divisions have not been utilized as much. That being said I am very impressed by the overall state of the department and with the quality of our general patrol units. As we move into 2021, I know operations will ramp up and with that divisions in Field Services will see an increase. So, I want to encourage all Troopers especially our current batch of probies to look for recruitment programs for divisions in January. Thanks to all the division leaders that have served well during this past month.

Lieutenant First Class Chance Morrison
Director of the Administrative Services Bureau
2020 has been an eventful year to say the least. The Administrative Services Bureau has undergone several changes throughout the past few months, and things are finally starting to calm down. Any division related to recruitment or training have been merged into the newly announced Training Operations Bureau, leaving just the Weapon Licensing Division, Legal Affairs Division, and the Public Affairs and Information Division. With that said, I'll be working closely with the divisions within my bureau to meet their needs and ensure things are working smoothly.
Finally, we saw the departure of Lieutenant Drake Richie, who was the Deputy Director of the Administrative Services Bureau. With him gone and Captain Kenway taking lead of the Training Operations Bureau, I stepped up and took over the role as Director of the Administrative Services Bureau. I plan to carry Richie's mission in ensuring all divisions have a clear line of communication when the need arises to keep things moving and reduce delays.

Greetings,
This month, the former Director of the Weapon Licensing Division, Julian Montes, sadly stepped down from his position as Director. I will be taking his spot as Director, though we all respect Montes for all the work he placed into the Division. By taking over WLD, I plan to expand the division a bit more. Firstly, all weapon licensing officers will now be granted free weapon licenses for their hard work in the division. Also, don’t forget about the commission all licensing officers get per application. If you are interested in anything listed above, don’t hesitate to post an application!

The Traffic Enforcement Division has had a slow month to say the least. With the winter stand down for all troopers, we at TED Command have backed off, and not enforced the criteria to be active for the month. In January this will all change with a mandatory two operations per month minimum, as well as more safety standards to be upheld. January will see a new training handbook released as well as new operational standards within TED. I hope you all had a lovely holiday, and can't wait to see you all back at it 100% in the new year!

We have definitely seen a small decrease in ESU Patrols throughout the Winter Stand-down; this is a similar situation that the entire department is currently experiencing. We have continued to exceed in our relations with the Community and Interdivisionally throughout December, we will continue striving to uphold these relations throughout January.
I have assessed all the Operatives within the Emergency Services Unit and rank adjustments to those continuously doing well within the division will be considered throughout the months of January and February.
I'd like to wish everyone a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Years from the Emergency Services Units', Supervisory and Command Teams. Keep safe and we'll be back to normal operations in the New Year.
Our divisional recruitment and reinstatement processes continue to be open for employees of the San Andreas State Police who wish to extend their medical knowledge. If you don't feel up-to joining the Emergency Services Unit, feel free to apply for the departmentally issued First Aid Course in Staff Training Programs.

| INFORMATION
The month of December has been more eventful than November, that being because of the further rise in gang conflict in Blueberry and Palomino. SWAT played its hand in the operation in Blueberry following the multiple mass shooting that took place between warring gangs, often involving the police as well. As mentioned in the last newsletter, we have worked on getting our new HQ up and running and earlier in the month the construction concluded. All of the division's vehicles have been moved to the new HQ and will the central hub for all operatives. It has taken the place of ID's old HQ on the eastern entrance of Dillimore.
The activity of the division has gone down in recent months so to combat this the SWAT Command Team has decided to open all forms of recruitment, including reinstatements and interest forms. If anyone's interested in applying for the division you can submit your letter of interest here.
For the month of December, the SWAT Command Team has chosen to recognize retired Lieutenant Drake Richie, instead of awarding an operative of the month. We recognize Lieutenant Drake Richie for all the time he put in to help train and educate our team. His dedication to this division has excelled our expectations, and we would like to thank him for the countless lives he has while under pressure. Thank you, Lieutenant, and happy retirement!
We continue to thank our team for the countless hours and training put in during the holidays.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Trooper Gang Interactions
It has been brought to our attention that regular troopers that are not members of the Gang and Narcotics Unit, let alone the Investigations Division; are meddling into neighbourhood affairs relating to affiliated gang members. We cannot stress enough how much that interrupts us from doing our job. Community relations with at-risk youth from gang infested areas is the priority of our division. Unassigned troopers should stray from doing so unless an emergency is called upon by dispatch. Upon so, leave the detectives to take charge of the scene if it involves drugs, guns and violent crimes. Many of those residents are young kids, and for us to make good face with them only for you to come and ruin that relationship is insulting and disrespectful.
Troopers that are conducting Gang Officer duties without being in the unit will be dealt with. If you happen to spot someone doing so, please refer to Detective Amy Seong or Director Andrew Blair. Please respect the boundaries and allow us to do what we have to.
We wish you happy holidays and a happy new year to your family and friends.

Dear Troopers,
Throughout the year, we've grown as both individuals and as a department. I've enjoyed watching all of you grow and hope to continue doing so. 2020 held a challenging series of events, but we've endured it, and will come back stronger as one unified group. I hope everyone took the time off to spend with their families and loved ones, and for those that clocked in during auxiliary mode, I commend you. 2021 will be the best year this department has ever seen and that's all because each and every one of you give this your best. Here's to 2021!
Cheers,
Lieutenant Colonel Grayson Shields
