Academy Sessions (AS) and Field Training Patrols (FTP) are the core of your probation in the Los Santos Police Department. The APS represents an opportunity for a student to reflect their theoretical knowledge in the field, with the assistance and supervision of Academy Instructors who will regularly compile patrol reports for each student. There is a total of three sessions to complete in order to take the next step to the Field Training Patrol (FTP).

Congratulations! You're now a Police Officer I. All probationary personnel have to complete a total of three (3) Field Training Patrols to proceed to their Final Examination. The Field Training Patrols are implemented to ensure the officer learns from multiple LSPD officials, as no two officers or situations are the same. This will make sure they are able to pick the best solution whenever they have to face certain situations on their own. Field Training Patrols can be conducted by any Training Division Instructor and/or Police Officer III+.

The final stage of your journey within the LSPD Academy - Evaluation Phase and Final Exam. The Examination consists of a theoretical exam and a practical examination. Police Officer Is are entitled to have up to a total of two (2) re-tests for both the Evaluation and Exam. Upon passing your Examination you will be promoted to a fully fledged Police Officer II.
