Category:Government
The Blaine County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) is one of the few Law Enforcement agencies of San Andreas, and together with the Los Santos Police Department (LSPD) and San Andreas State Police (SASP), is in charge of providing security and enforcing the law in the State of San Andreas as a part of the greater Joint Police Department. The current Sheriff of the BCSO is Roy Fletcher.
The Blaine County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) was established to serve and protect the residents of Blaine County, a rural region with unique challenges. As crime increased in the area, the need for a dedicated local law enforcement agency became apparent. The BCSO was formed to provide policing focused on everything from traffic enforcement to handling serious crimes such as drug trafficking and violent offenses. To expand its reach and increase its effectiveness, the BCSO joined the Joint Police Department (JPD), a collaborative law enforcement initiative that also includes the Los Santos Police Department (LSPD) and the San Andreas State Police (SASP). This partnership allowed the BCSO to gain greater jurisdiction throughout the state, enabling it to work more efficiently with other agencies and respond to incidents beyond Blaine County. By uniting with the LSPD and SASP under the JPD, the BCSO now plays a crucial role in maintaining law and order across the state while continuing to serve its local community with dedication and integrity.
==Chain of Command==
The Sheriff is High Command in charge of Department Oversight.

The position of Sheriff was determined through a public election where the entire population of San Andreas could vote for the candidates running for Sheriff. Any officer, so long as they have not been replaced as high command in the past, may run for Sheriff. A Sheriff has no maximum term as an elected official - the State can decide to appoint the Sheriff in question for a more permanent term if they are found to have served exceptionally well. Sheriff elections are legislated by JPD to happen roughly once every eight months.
==Personnel & Training (P&T)==
The Personnel & Training Division plays a vital role in upholding the standards of the Joint Police Department (JPD). This division is responsible for recruitment, training, and the ongoing development of all officers within the department. Training is overseen by Junior Training Officers (JTOs), Field Training Officers (FTOs), and Field Training Instructors (FTIs), who ensure that every officer is well-prepared and equipped with the necessary skills to perform their duties effectively. Led by experienced officers, the division focuses on maintaining high professional standards, ensuring that the entire force continuously improves and adapts to the evolving demands of law enforcement.
