**Bob Smith** is a character role-played by **Aleks**.

## General Description

Bob Smith, Badge **#309,** was hired in **April 2019** as a **Blaine County Sheriff's Office** cadet, transferred to **Los Santos Police Department** as the Chief Of Police. Before his retirement in **March 2022,** he was a Senior Officer for the **LSPD**.

Bobby is in his late thirties and has a thick Southern drawl in his speech pattern. He has blond hair styled in a side-parted businessman cut and a light goatee. He is of fair complexion, and always wears a silver skull earring on his left ear, in memory of his late sister, **Matilda**.

Bobby Smith married **Vladimir Raven** in **July 2019**, and they both officially adopted **Griselda "Zelda" Harth** as their daughter at their marriage.

## Background Information

Hailing from Dallas, Texas, Bob originally wanted to be a professional football player, but his career dreams were cut short due to an incident during the 4th quarter of his team's championship game. Bobby was about to throw the game-winning touchdown against the Jersey City Jaguars when "out of nowhere" his running-back ran the reverse play of what they had practiced earlier, and stepped on his ankle; injuring Bob and ending his scholarship goals. Bob later attended Dallas State University to get his college diploma.

Bob pursued a career in law enforcement following his twin-sister, **Matilda Smith'**s death. At the age of 15, Matilda was killed in a drive-by shooting gone wrong, from a gang in Southern Dallas. Bobby was part of the Texas Police Department for 10 years, investigating and attempting to apprehend the perpetrator. Bob claims he was the "top officer" in Texas, because of how "good" he was.

Following his failure to find his sister's killers, Bob moved to Los Santos. He now wears her old skull earring on his left ear in her memory. Bob wishes to go back to Dallas to investigate Matilda's murder in the future.

There were rumours around PD that Bob never really recovered from the death of his twin-sister Matilda and hides the fact that he's always emotionally stressed and mentally broken, to which he doesn't truly feel anything emotionally with the people he comes across. Another rumour swirling around is that Bobby probably agreed with **Zelda's** adoption because of how much she reminds him of his late sister.

## Relationships

Bobby met  **Raven** on April 17th, 2019; his first day on the job as a Cadet; and back when **Raven** was the Lieutenant for the **Criminal Investigation Division**. Bobby took an immediate interest in him when he learned that **Raven** had been engaged to another man. The two of them seemed to lack chemistry in the beginning, as their personalities were quite different back then. During their ride-along, Bobby invited **Raven** to a baseball game, which **Raven** immediately shut down. However, by the end of their ride-along, **Raven's** feelings towards Bobby had changed.
Over time they both expressed interest in having a relationship with each other. They would constantly flirt and make sexual innuendos while on duty. With the help of officers **Olivia Copper**, **Ziggy Buggs**, and **Emma Dupont**, they became an official couple. **Raven** and Bobby confessed their love for one another during a beach date on **May 23rd, 2019**.
The two were engaged on **July 20th, 2019**. While Bobby was in a ride-along with **Olivia Copper**, **Raven** and **Kareem Lyon** kidnapped Bobby. Under the guise of sacrificing him to a swamp monster, **Raven** and **Kareem** transported him to the swamp for **Raven** to pop the question. With such an amazing proposal, Bobby had no choice but to say yes. Instead of giving Bobby an engagement ring, **Raven** gifted him a pair of knuckle dusters that spells out **BCSO**, and is engraved with "Bobby x Raven".
Not long after the two were engaged, they were being questioned constantly about when they were going to be married. After having several disagreements on the details of their wedding, and many failed attempts to plan anything for it, they decided to get married on Wednesday, **August 25th, 2019**, after a scheduled PD meeting. During their wedding, **Raven** and Bobby officially adopted **Griselda "Zelda" Harth** as their daughter and took a family picture alongside **Olivia Copper** and **Jackie Snow**.
On **October 28th, 2019**, after weeks of trying to buy a home in Vinewood, **Raven**, accompanied by **Zelda**, found a way to buy a house. Bobby then decided to go check his new home, only after finding out from **Lance Malton** that his daughter has been smoking, and is in a relationship with **Siz Fulker**. After visiting their new home, **Raven** found out that Bobby never quit smoking, and Bobby found out that **Raven** knew all along about **Zelda's** relationship with **Siz**. After revealing all their secrets, Raven is somewhat okay with **Zelda's** relationship with **Siz**, while Bobby is somewhat annoyed.
After the murder of **Michael Dias** on **November 30th, 2019**, the relationship between Bobby and **Raven** started to slowly deteriorate. **Dias'** death also shifted the relationships within the PD, as some officers believed that **Denzel Williams**, the murderer, should be sentenced to death; while other officers believed that life in prison should suffice as punishment. As the court ruling for **Denzel Williams** wasn't that far from the day **Dias** was murdered, both Bobby and **Raven** ended up being busy with the case and didn't have much time to spend with each other. Unbeknownst to each other **Raven** was writing an impact statement defending **Denzel**, while Bobby was writing up the report pushing for **Denzel's** death penalty. Only a day later, both **Raven** and Bobby realized that they were on different sides during the court hearing. The realization led to a serious argument, where Bobby and **Raven** didn't settle on good terms. Bobby claimed that he wanted the Death Penalty for **Denzel**, to keep their daughter (and potential cops in the future) safe from harm. **Raven** stated that it would have isolated **Zelda**, if her Godfather was killed by the very department that her two fathers worked for.
Following their argument regarding their stances on the ruling of **Denzel**, there were various actions made by **Raven** that continued to fuel negative feelings from Bobby towards him. **Raven** mentioned to several officers regarding **Dias** "not being much of a loss to the force", and continued to defend and deny **Denzel'**s threats to **Lauren Forcer's** life while he serving his time in prison. Several days later, during the funeral for **Dias** (that Bobby singlehandedly arranged), **Raven** continued to make snide remarks about his death and tossed his cigarette butt into **Dias'** open grave. Days later, **Raven**, Bobby, and **Zelda** agreed to attend a therapy session with **Pixie Plum**, to settle their differences and air out any issues. However, the session backfired and brought up more negativity that had not been fully present beforehand. After a heated argument with **Raven**, Bobby cut the session short by hitting him, with **Raven** returning a punch to Bobby's face. With a resolution nowhere in sight, Bobby informed **Raven** that he was going to take a break from their relationship. After leaving the office, Bobby told **Zelda** that he owns a trailer in Sandy Shores, where they can live for the time being. Although **Pixie** tried her best to consult with **Raven**, he left the office emotionally broken.
After a whole year and a half of separation, where Bobby ran as the the Chief Of Police for the **LSPD** and **Raven** was on a LOA, they finally had the conversation and decided to take things slowly and see where it goes.
The day before Bobby was set to officially retire from PD, he texted **Raven** and told him that he was going move to Tijuana and hoped he would come with him. However, **Raven** misread the text and thought Bobby was flying to Taiwan, which forced **Raven** to live Taiwan for a while and caused a big debacle during the retirement announcement. Fortunately, Bobby planned to pay the cartel from Mexico to smuggle **Raven** from Taiwan to Tijuana, where they could finally reconcile their relationship and start fresh.

After getting hit off her bike during a traffic stop by Bobby's police vehicle,  **Zelda** developed a hatred for him. This hatred for Bobby would eventually grow to the point where she vowed to have him killed.
However, months later after speaking with Bobby over the phone about his wedding, **Zelda** somehow convinced and adopted herself as Bobby's daughter. Later that day, Bobby invited **Zelda** to the house he planned to buy with **Raven**. After an incident involving clowns, robbery, and multiple stabbings, the couple decided to adopt **Zelda** as their daughter, **Zelda** was officially adopted at Bobby's and Raven's wedding.
After hearing that her fathers were separated, **Zelda** lived with Bobby in a trailer in Sandy Shores. On **January 31st, 2020**, during the ride-along with Bobby and **Larry Hallow**, **Zelda** and Bobby tried to sort out their situation with **Raven**; eventually plotting to mutually speak against **Raven** in court. **Zelda** also claimed that she would "cut off **Larry'**s lips if he tried anything with her dad
Throughout Bobby's promotion to Chief, he barely has time for himself let alone his friends. However, he does tend to make sure that his daughter is doing fine by either meeting up with her or by texting her. Bobby would also allow **Zelda** to drive around in his Camaro whenever he's on duty.
At the day of Bobby's retirement, Bobby gave all of his money to **Domenic Toretti**, which would be given to **Zelda** whenever she comes around. He also sent a text message to **Zelda** about his vacation to Tijuana and the situation about **Raven'**s situation with Taiwan. A few days later, **Zelda** took the money from **Toretti** and revealed to him that she was living in a little abandoned camp on a small island.

## Events

During the month of August, Bob was recruited into the **SCU**. This opened up a new window for Bob and allowed him to look at the parts of Los Santos that were often overseen; his duty was to put a stop to the crimes that happen behind closed doors.
During his time as a detective, Bob created the paranormal division and investigated the existence of ghosts, vampires and the creepy Gallery 77 right behind the **MRPD**.
After all of his investigations went cold, Bob decided to leave the **SCU** and was officially removed from the roster on November 8th 2021.

After 4 years as an active police officer, Senior Officer Bob Smith (410) of the **LSPD**, officially retired.
Over these years the police department had changed drastically, so much so that Bob no longer felt he was a necessity to the department and his ways of policing were no longer valued. During his last day on the field, he spent time among his colleagues, some of whom he had been close with throughout the 4 years. Bob officially announced his retirement on March 22nd during the AU shift- handing his badge over to **Thomas Metzger**.
During the EU shift, Bob said his goodbyes to his friends and fellow officers as they wished him a happy retirement. He was then driven to the airport by his friends and left the city on the plane to Tijuana. On the plane, Bob looked back and realized he was entering a new chapter of his life.
In the aftermath of his departure, Bob left parting voicemails to:
* Domenic Toretti
* Thomas Metzger (Part 1) | (Part 2)

* Olivia Copper
* Jackie Snow
* Kyle Pred
* Denzel Williams
