LSPD Quality of Life Act

Purpose

With the new Los Santos Police Department Quality of Life Enhancement Act, the Mayor wants to ensure healthy, well-taken-care-of Police Officers in the LSPD as well as reward them for their continued hard work and dedication. With heart attacks from stress being a leading cause of death among emergency workers, this act will allow the Mayor to reduce that stress and reestablish gunshots as the leading cause of death.

Scope

All Los Santos Police Department Officers, including dispatchers.

Constitutional Justification

This legislation is rooted in the Mayor’s legislated power to allocate funds with a clear transparent benefit to the Citizens of Los Santos County.

Definitions

• “Officer”: Within the context of this legislation, it specifically means all sworn Officers of the Los Santos Police Department and includes dispatchers.
• “LSPD”: Los Santos Police Department
• “County Budget”: Refers to the Los Santos County budget specifically.
• “Local”: Any reference to “local” will infer Los Santos County and exclude all references to Blaine County. For example, a local business is one which is owned solely by a Los Santos County resident and operated solely in Los Santos County.
•  

Legislation

1. It is hereby declared that the Mayor of Los Santos will allocate funds from the County budget for the enhancement of the quality of life within the LSPD.
2. To qualify for this program, a business must be an authorized, tax-paying Los Santos County-approved establishment. To apply for this program, companies will contact the Mayor’s Office and file the necessary paperwork.
3. The Mayor retains the right to modify and/or cancel this program at any time, with or without notice.
4. All on-duty Officers will be granted free meals while on duty. A Los Santos County Police Department badge must be presented at the time of purchase.

• The Officer will be entitled to a set amount of meals in a specified timeline through SOPs and internal documents that may change daily based on changing needs.
• Officers will not be able to claim meals for other Officers. Attempting to do so will constitute fraud.
• The Mayor’s Office will notify Officers of participating locations.
• Participating locations may be changed at any time by the Mayor’s Office without warning or cause.
• The Mayor’s Office will be responsible for payments to the local business for all provable recorded transactions with verified on-duty Officers. Payments to the participating local business will be made once every 30 days.

4. The Mayor’s Office will make arrangements with local businesses and notify Officers of participating locations. Participating locations may be changed at any time by the Mayor’s Office without warning or cause.
5. The patrol vehicle must be owned by the officer getting the repair; shared vehicles will not be included within this legislation, as LSPD will have a budget set forth to repair those.
