Departments
The SAHP patrols the highways and is the path to Open Role.
The San Andreas Highway Patrol (SAHP) is the final department in the progression path and the gateway to Open Role. It specialises in the roads and highways that tie the whole state together.
Modelled on the real-world California Highway Patrol, the SAHP is a state-wide highway force. Reaching the top rank within the SAHP is what unlocks Open Role on your character.
Uniquely, the SAHP has jurisdiction everywhere — across all three zones, from the city to Los Santos County to Greater Blaine County. Their speciality is the highways and freeways that connect San Andreas, with traffic enforcement and high-speed pursuits being their bread and butter, but they can operate anywhere on the map.
The SAHP is reached after serving in the LSPD and then either the LSSD or the BCSO. Reaching the top rank here grants Open Role, letting you move freely between every department. See the Open Role guide for details.
