Las Venturas Metro Police

The Las Venturas Metropolitan Police Department (also known as the LVMPD or Metro) is a city police force for the City of Las Venturas, and is the second largest law enforcement agency in the state of San Andreas, and one of the largest police agencies in the United States.

Funding
The department is funded by the City of Las Venturas, and is based on a complex formula that includes population, calls for service, and felony crimes in the prior year. The city council must approve the annual budget including their percentage of budget. Additionally the department itself generates approximately 33% of its funds through property tax, and the charging for certain services, such as special events. Additional funding is generated from a special sales tax to fund commissioned positions.
