INFORMATION

The Los Santos Fire Department, as well as the Los Santos Fire Department Internal Affairs Division expects all employees of the department to act accordingly and professionally while on duty, and as well off duty at all times. While we know that this won't be the case at all sometimes, we encourage everyone to report misconduct from staff who work for the Los Santos Fire Department.

This sheet provides all civilians and members of other agencies the required information to report employees of the Los Santos Fire Department for alleged misconduct that can range from simple protocol misconduct - to felonious activities. While the Los Santos Fire Department does not personally take on criminal investigations that involve their own employees, or for anyone in that matter, the Internal Affairs division will simply act as the middle man and pass all criminal investigations onto the Department of Justice (DOJ) or a Law Enforcement Agency. From there, the Los Santos Fire Department and either the Department of Justice (DOJ) or Law Enforcement Agency will work together to find a suitable conclusion to the investigation.

FORMAT - Send all complaints to the Fire Department Internal Affairs Command team.
