Reconstruction
Seven years after the Nuclear Event, the State Government of San Andreas formed the DPS in an effort to restore the state back into a functioning society. They appointed Bob Smith as the Director of the DPS. 
After laying the groundwork and foundations of San Andreas, the DPS declared the state reopened. They called for volunteers across the globe to staff government positions and emergency services. The volunteers arrived on December 9th, 2024 to begin their efforts to restore society.
Humane Labs Radiation Outbreak
On the month of January, 2024, the Humane Labs and Research began exhibiting abnormal amounts of incidents related to radiation. It was declared an outbreak of radiation and the DPS began coordinating with emergency services to contain Humane Labs.
On January 18th, 2024, the DPS worked with the Federal Investigation Bureau's agents and researchers to conduct surveillance, security, and field tests of Humane Labs.
On January 20th, 2024, the DPS along with multiple departments went into Humane Labs to recover sensitive documents and materials. After their mission was complete, they sealed Humane Labs completely. With everything contained, the situation was declared over for now.
