Cletus Cornwood/Relationships

== Tony Andrews ==
Andrews is the officer whom Cornwood rides with the most, and through this they have slowly bonded with one another. Andrews was originally very weary of Cornwood, but as Cornwood spent more time working with the San Andreas State Police, Andrews has grown to appreciate Cornwood's company but not his driving skills. Whenever Cornwood finishes riding with Kael Soze, Andrews will often tell Cornwood to "forget everything Soze taught you." As of 20th December 2023, Tony Andrews and Cornwood have finally reunited after seven years of separation. Tony Andrews lost his job as a State Trooper, but nothing changed for Cornwood, especially his driving, as he was just waking up for another shift from seven years ago. Andrews also has taken it upon himself to find Cornwood a wife in hopes of steering Cornwood away from his crazy ways. 
== Sam Baas ==
Another officer whom Cornwood often rides with, Baas often gives Cornwood more freedom to use Cornwood's 20 years of expertise, but this has led Baas and Cornwood into trouble with higher ranking officers on a few occasions. After 7 years, Cornwood returned to the city to find out that Officer Sam Baas died heroically by jumping on a bomb to save his squad. Cornwood broke down in tears when he found out the news.
== Jack Ripley ==
Ripley was one of the main FTOs for Cletus Cornwood when he was brought back into the force seven years ago. During an FTO session, their bond grew stronger. Cornwood respects Ripley as one of the best officers to ever earn his recommendation for Ripley to be promoted to State Trooper. After seven years apart, Cornwood received a call from an unknown number which turned out to be Ripley’s. Cornwood was so happy to hear his voice and they met to catch up. However, Cornwood was betrayed by Trooper (former) Ripley when he led Cornwood to be kidnapped by the clowns and forced him to join the Clown Game. Cornwood survived and won the game when Jack "Professor Bubbles" Ripley fell off the bridge, ending the game. The incident affected Cornwood greatly as Ripley was one of the people he respected most and he used his loyalty against him.
== Hedi Saurus ==
Saurus has saved Cornwood's life on numerous occasions. She always refers to Cornwood as "Baby Cadet". 
== Claire Everly ==
Deputy Claire Everly is another deputy who passed the academy along with Cornwood. Their friendship sprouted after Cornwood was promoted as BCSO's captain. Deputy Claire Everly is one of the deputies Cletus Cornwood usually rides with after his promotion. During their patrol, Claire Everly will frequently instruct Cletus Cornwood on high-speed chases and will act as Cornwood's "babysitter". When Cornwood return to the city after 7 years, Claire Everly was nowhere to be found. However a new officer, Emily Everly greatly reminds him of her. 
5 years later, Claire has run into Cornwood again; joining the LSPD on 3/19/2024. Cornwood served as Claire's first FTO on her first day back in Los Santos, being a familiar face as she acclimated to the many changes the city and the LSPD went through the past several years. 
== Brooke Ruth ==
Brooke Ruth is the former Shift 1 captain for the LSPD. Cornwood and Ruth have a neutral relationship at best, with Cornwood being given the majority of his disciplinary action points (DAPs) by her. Cornwood has a negative opinion of Ruth and how she goes about leading her shift, believing that she is power hungry and controlling; choosing to punish officers for mistakes rather than educate as a LSPD captain. He has referred to Ruth as an "evil queen bitch" to Slacks in a 1-on-1 conversation a few times. 
== Leonardo Slacks ==
Leonardo Slacks is Cornwood's captain for Shift 2. While the two don't always see eye to eye on how to approach things, the two hold a deep mutual respect for each other. Slacks was distressed when he discovered Cornwood was kidnapped by the clowns, offering to take his place in Clown Risk (to which Cornwood quickly shut down). Slacks and Cornwood often talk about LSPD problems and brainstorm solutions. Cornwood was also one of several investors in the property that Slacks was renting from Section K Housing, making him his landlord much to Slacks' displeasure. After Cornwood's indefinite suspension, the two's relationship was strained. However, after spending some time together talking things out off duty and on duty, Cornwood and Slacks have returned to their old ways. 
== Wyatt Turner ==
Wyatt Turner is the former Shift 3 captain. He often disapproves of Cornwood's antics on shift. He often yells "Cornwood!" out of reflex after hearing gunshots due to an incident where Cornwood accidentally discharged a hunting rifle inside the police station. Turner also has a sitcom-level timing when it comes to Cornwood's antics, always walking in whenever Cornwood is demonstrating something he discovered. 
== Penny Lane ==
Penny Lane is a former PPO. Cornwood likes Lane's hard work and seriousness in becoming a police officer, so much that he sees that Lane will become one of the greatest officers in the future. Cornwood sometimes checks on her from time to time and talks highly of her to captains and fellow officers.
== Kit Archer ==
Kit Archer is one of the partners whom Cornwood mostly rides with after his return to the force. Throughout their shift, they sometimes share their worries with each other. Their trust is mutual. However, due to Archer’s relationship with known criminal Ray, Cornwood often suspects that Archer is doing illegal crimes behind his back, always reminding her to not do crime after they part ways.
== Flop Dugong ==
Senior Officer Flop is one of Cornwood’s fellow officers when Cornwood was brought back into the force after seven years. Officer Flop and Cornwood share the same vision of opening a new Sheriff’s Department (called the Little Alamo Sheriff’s Office) and forming an elite group of Little Texas Rangers. This same vision has led them to work together to achieve it. They can also be seen actively doing vehicle testing and research alongside Captain Slacks.
== Bobby Plembins ==
Bobby Plembins, a newer hire to LSPD, took an immediate shine to Cornwood as a mentor and role model to look up to. He often refers to Cornwood as "Big C" in conversations.

Buns after they were responding to a bomb threat, gunning down Plankton in the name of justice and apprehending him.
== Kian McNulty ==
Kian McNulty is a sergeant of Shift 2. McNulty often banters with Cornwood, the two having a brotherly relationship. McNulty has saved Cornwood's life after he had failed to resurface in time after getting a police cruiser out of the ocean, performing CPR on him.

== Den "Zel" Shiesty ==
Den "Zel" Shiesty sees Cornwood as a brother-in-arms, often commiserating with Cornwood about the woes of the Shift 1 captain and his frustrations with how police work is approached in the police department's SOPs. Den hopes that Cornwood is able to open the Little Alamo Sheriff's Office (LASO) so that he and Cornwood can pursue justice under a department that shares more of their vision. Cornwood also considers Den "one of the top five officers in LSPD" and admires how much Den "gets shit done." Den considers Cornwood a founding member of the DAP Street Boys alongside Aziz Sultan. 
== Aziz Sultan ==
Aziz Sultan is another officer that Cornwood respects deeply, with both working over the span of multiple shifts during the day. Cornwood often comments on how the LSPD needs more officers like Aziz, Den "Zel", and McNulty that can handle business and put in the hours.

The two have also gotten surprisingly accurate tarot readings by Windsong alongside Etta Hawthorne and Kit Archer one slow night in Los Santos.
== Jeffrey Bones ==
Jeffrey Bones is a sergeant of Shift 2. The two get along well, with Cornwood admiring Bones's skill behind the wheel and him being a "country boy" like himself. Bones and Cornwood have helped train cadets in academy a few times, mainly on pursuits and traffic stops. Bones was instrumental in the car chase leading to the arrest of Peanut after a warrant was put out for his arrest for human trafficking, having stuck to Peanut the entire time. Cornwood and Bones have been bested by a clown on a bicycle on the highway, forcing the two to call off the pursuit and go lick their wounds at Crusade Medical for the time being. Bones has also lost a $12,000 bet in one go to Cornwood due to a bad dice roll. When the two ride together, Bones and Cornwood like to talk endlessly on car mechanics and football. 
== Duncan Fenwell ==
Duncan Fenwell initially had a disapproving opinion of Cornwood, being a self-described "rule boy." Fenwell later found common ground with Cornwood, finding out that he shared some of the same grievances that Cornwood did and noticing how quickly Cornwood was able to connect with his other fellow officers. The two often brainstorm ideas on how to raise morale for the LSPD when they're together. Fenwell would later approach with Cornwood about the possibility of establishing a partnership to establish the Little Alamo Sheriff's Office (LASO), should it be possible in the future. 
== Beric Johnson ==
Beric Johnson is the Chief Of Police of LSPD that Cornwood considers "one of the good ones." Whenever both are on duty, they like to reminisce with about the days before the collapse, talk about their personal lives, and share their grievances regarding police work and planning out the possibility of the Little Alamo Sheriff's Office (LASO). Alongside Cornwood, Beric was a part of the Mr. K raid and the deescalation efforts after Mr. K blocked off the prison entrance with buses.

Cornwood nearly cost Suarez his initial position in the new LSPD due to a joke he made about Suarez selling drugs out of his hot dog truck. 
== Leon Cassidy ==
Leon Cassidy is often made fun of by Cornwood for never being on duty, despite his insistence that they barely miss each other during shift changes. He refers to Leon as Leonard whenever he sees him, so much so that he has gaslit Leon and half the LSPD to referring the officer as Leonard by accident sometimes. Leon has accompanied Cornwood on a couple of ride-alongs, having participated in procuring a murder kitty (mountain lion) and arresting Sheldon B. Plankton for the first time after he tried to steal the "secret formula" from Snr. Buns. 
== Coco Mars ==
Coco Mars and Cornwood have a friendly relationship and is a former PPO. Mars helped Cornwood blind test turbos in police cruisers and is someone Cornwood can trust to back him up whenever there is a car chase. Mars was the one to ultimately tackle and handcuff Peanut, putting an end to a 20 minute long chase. After being held up by Samuel L. Jackson, Mars is quick to notice whenever Cornwood isn't on duty as Cornwood's mere presence would have deterred Samuel L. Jackson from robbing Mars in the first place. 
== Richard Tips ==
Richard Tips is an officer in the LSPD, having served alongside Cornwood for a handful of shifts. After the debacle with Samuel L. Jackson and his fellow officer Mars, he is also quick to notice if Cornwood is about to go off duty, begging him to stay on to deter criminals.
== Emily Everly ==
Emily Everly and Cornwood have an antagonistic relationship akin of siblings whenever both are on duty.

However when speaking one-on-one with Cornwood, Dundee has expressed his opinion that he "is the only cop he respects" on the force and expressed concern about Cornwood on a few occasions. Dundee has offered to mentor Cornwood in driving sessions ($2,000 for an hour) because he was bored. Dundee was also among one of the first criminals to learn about Cornwood's indefinite suspension and offered him a spot in the BBMC, should he ever be interested in doing crime. He also Twatted out about Cornwood's suspension, which led to several Los Santos citizens retwatting the post and discussing the possibility of a protest to reinstate Cornwood.
== Xavier Monroe ==
Xavier Monroe is a former BAR-certified lawyer who Cornwood has been spending a lot of time around with since his indefinite suspension. After Xavier discovered that Cornwood was indefinitely suspended, he offered Cornwood a place to crash since Cornwood previously slept in the LSPD showers after his shifts.

Due to Cornwood's long history of working as a police officer, she often turns to him for advice on how to approach certain police matters and procedures.

== Tessa Lamb ==
Tessa Lamb is someone Cornwood believed himself to be familiar with prior to the collapse, with Cornwood knowing her as a former Game Warden for the San Andreas State Park Rangers and as the late Sam Baas's adopted daughter. However, this all changed one fateful night when Cornwood was abducted by a trio of kidnappers at a traffic stop. It was revealed that Tessa was the one who hired the kidnappers to bring Cornwood to the beach resort where the mayor's Catholic wedding had occurred over a week prior. Unbeknownst to Cornwood, Cletus had unintentionally drawn out Tessa's alter ego Mary Wolf after he "gifted" a dolphin rescue named Finny to the mayor and his wife. Tessa believed herself to be short on time of exacting her revenge when Lenny and Declan were searching the beach for Cletus, but a miscommunication between Declan and Lenny gave Tessa enough time to slash Cletus's throat and flee the scene without anyone following her.
== Lenny Hawk ==
Lenny Hawk is a former officer in the LSPD who Cornwood has a lot of respect for. Cornwood and Lenny arrived to the LSPD 8 years ago around the same time. Cornwood mentions how Lenny is a good police officer and gets shit done. Cornwood also noticed how Lenny started acting differently at some point and eventually, on April 12th, 2024, Lenny quit the LSPD over radio and shot Captain Slacks and Senior Officer Kit Archer due to being fed up with how the LSPD handles things. Once Cornwood found about this, he was upset about the situation since he knows how good of an officer Lenny Hawk is.
== Alexis Onfire ==
Alexis Onfire is an Officer in the LSPD who Cornwood has made his protege. Onfire likes to give Cornwood food while they are patrolling together so he doesn't lose weight.
