That truck in the image is more likely than not a Secret Service Detail truck (they use them for motorcade duty). The truck has all the things that the Secret Service trucks pack not the FBI. Looks like it's got some armor, too. The prison idea serves no purpose in the game unfortunately, since there is not a freeplay mission of prison break or anything like it.

EDIT:
for lord_bonev:
NSA National Security Agency is located in the state of Maryland, they act as an intelligence agency, more or less analyzing data from all kinds of sources but not really serving as the traditional law enforcement type of role.

I understand you wish for there to be more federal units, however, most of the ones you asked for are more of an east-coast thing, they are most often found in the Washington, D.C. area and Maryland, as well as New York City (because of the UN). They occasionally may end up having to roam in LA but for the most part the DSS/Secret Service vehicles you've requested are not really acting as law enforcement, perhaps if there was a mission made with either a Diplomat or Foreign leader or the president in it then they would be required but for the normal gameplay they are not something unique to bring to the LA mod, and in all honesty not really likely to be roaming there too often anyway. Hope this information helps you to understand the federal agencies in the US a little bit better.

@ lord_bonev:
I am already working a black SUV. Not the one in your picture. Mine will be unmarked and won't have a lightbar.
A new freeplay takes months of work. I can spend my time on much more and better things.
I don't really see the point of having even more government agencies in the mod. Why add NSA if we don't have any special abilities for THAT agency?
And CTU doesn't even exist in real life. You've watched the show 24 for too long.
Police dogs are cool, but hard to make. It's hard to make a script where these dogs attack or scare people.
If I copy the rappel commands to the SWAT units, the Army units would lose their special abilities.

What about having the map of deluxe version in non-deluxe version? Would be nice

Then I have to copy more than 150 objects to my mod otherwise the people without Deluxe can't see them. No, this is not going to happen.

Hey hoopah great mod btw I love it!.. I have a suggestion you know how the regular game the cops dont carry guns but can make arrest direct traffic .etc I was thinking why not a traffic officer or traffic enforcement type of unit? It will be useful for taffic incidents traffic lights gone out .etc

Heres a photo of a parking enforcement in LA


I guess it can be similar to that or the nypd trafiic unit which looks lik e


except it says traffic instead of auxiliary.

I think that will be a good add instead of using cops all the time for dumb things like traffic

Edited:Removed NYPD Aux Picture

Hey guys, try to refrain from bringing up non-related things into the forums of the respective mods, I know the issue was posed and people wished to answer it, but it really does not belong in this topic, general police inquiries and all that can go into a different forum so it does not dillute things it does not belong with. The bar on the roof of the NYPD Highway Patrol is called something like a High-Riser, it is a pretty cool light, the thing has two arms that can tilt upward to give it better lighting visibility, one on each side. The NYPD Aux/Traffic are nadda like the Los Angeles units to me.

Edit: The posts referencing the NYPD Units were moved to the "Emergency Questions, Questions related to apparatus and tactics." Topic.

Why was my picture of aux removed? It is relevant to this topic its a suggestion for the next version

[MikeyPI]

Because this is the LA MOD Suggestions/ideas topic, not the New York Mod. The Parking enforcement was left in the post because it is relevant to the topic. Simple as that.

Hey Hoppah,

How about doing a mission for 1.6 based on this real event in LA history?

Sounds good to me. Someone should go for it!

I also think someone should make a mod for all important emergencies, I'd do it myself, but I can't mod. In any event, you have a great idea. :1046275747_biggthumpup:

Is there a way, similar to the Airplane hostage mission, where we can choose which units to take on the plane. In freeplay where we can choose which units to park at the firehouse? Has there been any more discussion on a second fire station. I find myself limited to the units at the firestation because they can respond so much quicker than calling another unit (e.g. brush truck, heavy rescue, light equip vehicle) from the main base. Also what about the fire chief vehicle going on patrol?

all of this has been talked about read trough the forum.

For the next mod could you have the police helicopter and the medics helicopter already on site so that they do not have to be called in.

I agree with the idea of a riots mission
