Addition information:
1. Leader of LSPD
2.
The first reason I want to lead LSPD is because I know that I have the capabilities and skills necessary for it. I've played on this server for about 5 months now and am still playing it all day every single day. In my time I have held several high positions, both in families like the Barnes family and currently Royalty, but also in gangs. I have been the leader of Ballas, after my term I became a deputy in Ballas and now I have become a deputy in Marabunta. Surely the LSPD is very different and more organized than gangs are but that is not a problem for me. I have been in LSPD (SWAT team) for weeks and in FIB for like a month. I'm also totally not a power-hungry person, I don't care about having a high rank or leadership, the reason I want to do it is because I know I can and to make sure everyone has a good and fun time. In the end we are all here to have fun and not to ruleplay or be toxic to one another.
Another reason is that I want LSPD to be a group of people gangs like to interact with and that roleplays instead of ruleplay. As a leader you have the power to make this happen through the example you set for your people and what you tell them to do. In the past months there has been an LSPD that didn't show up to store robberies anymore because they didn't like it, one that always shot outside of the circle or baited rulebreaks from the gang and didn't want to negotiate or even fight at all, ... This has to be different: the cops need to be able to take an L instead of having the mentality that they always have to win or it's a rulebreak. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. If the gangs have a hostage that hostage's life should be valued and there should be good negotiations instead of the LSPD just trying to push in and start shooting (this has happened in the past). To win situations like this the LSPD would have to come up with a good strategy and outplay the criminals in a way that is not just shooting. Even if free passage is given roadblocks could be set up to catch the criminals that are trying to escape. I feel like this also barely ever happens. I know how to shoot but trust me, I am a roleplayer. When I started out on this server we made the Barnes family, a fairly small family, we regularly did store robberies as a family and due to our low numbers we always had to roleplay and negotiate our way out of it instead of just making it a gunfight.
I also want to try something different for once, I have been in high command positions in gangs for month's now. In these past few months I have gained so much more leadership experience. I have been in LSPD and FIB before and I know how their events work and how to do negotiations from their side. I know the LSPD needs to be way more structured than gangs and that's not a problem. I would make sure there is a recruitment and training department with a proper application, interview and training stages. I would keep track of all the LSPD members in a spreadsheet where we also write down their callsign, strikes, notes, ... Obviously all of this is too much to be managed by one person, which is why I would put the right people in the right places (heads of the different departments).

The leader and high command play a big part in the level of roleplay the organization has, this is because they set the example. There is a lot of roleplay involved in the LSPD. For example the recruitment interview, medical examination when someone joins, ... should all be done in roleplay. Other than within the organization itself the interaction between the LSPD and citizens should also be good roleplay: traffic stops, responding to calls, and definitely hostage situations. When arresting someone it should also be roleplayed correctly instead of being speedrunned so you can continue shooting people. Other than the high command and training department setting a good example for the recruits another amazing way to increase the roleplay is to promote the people who put a lot of time into their roleplay, this way they will feel rewarded and others will know that good roleplay results in promotions.
I hope you guys give me an interview so I can explain my opinion on things and the way I would handle everything.
