Our goal is to enhance the world of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas by introducing a more immersive and historically accurate law enforcement system. Through the Law Enforcement Agencies Rework mod, we aim to expand the game's lore by adding new emergency vehicles, ensuring logical consistency, and reflecting the law enforcement landscape of 1990s America.
Headquarters: Bayside Marina in Tierra Robada
The San Andreas Coastguard is a specialized state law enforcement and emergency response agency tasked with patrolling the vast waters of San Andreas. Headquartered in the quiet coastal town of Bayside, this maritime branch operates across the state’s rivers, lakes, and oceanic borders. While their main duties include search and rescue, anti-smuggling operations, and maritime law enforcement, they’re also known to assist other agencies when criminal activity spills onto the water—or when it starts there.
Though primarily seen in boats and helicopters, the SA Coastguard also maintains a small fleet of land vehicles used for transport and logistics. Don’t expect them to ignore a crime just because it's on land—if they witness illegal activity, they'll respond, backing up local police when needed. Their presence reinforces the idea that San Andreas is not just protected on land, but also at sea.
In vanilla GTA San Andreas, the Coastguard is barely more than a name. The only physical representation is a civilian-operated boat named "Coastguard" and the nondescript building labeled as Coastguard HQ in Bayside. Interestingly, when pursued by boat, police officers from Predator vessels refer to themselves as "Coastguard"—a strange contradiction given their model and behavior match standard police, not a specialized maritime unit.
We’ve completely reimagined the San Andreas Coastguard to bring it in line with its intended role. This includes a proper fleet of vehicles and a dedicated ped model, heavily inspired by the real-life U.S. Coast Guard.
On water, they now operate a reworked Predator and a fully usable Coastguard boat, along with the nimble Dinghy. Water chases finally make sense—when a "Coastguard" officer is after you, it’s truly one of them, not a misnamed cop in a generic patrol boat.
For air support, they have access to both the Leviathan and Raindance helicopters, chosen for their visual similarity to the real aircraft used by the U.S. Coast Guard.
On land, they operate marked versions of the Yosemite, Yosemite Crew Cab, and Burrito—vehicles used primarily for towing, equipment transport, and logistics. You’ll rarely see them in standard traffic, and they won’t actively pursue wanted players unless nearby. But when they do, they’re fully capable of joining the chase.
The unit’s logo is borrowed from GTA V, while the signature dark blue stripe is a nod to the original Coastguard boat found in vanilla San Andreas. In our mod, Coastguard units now replace police boats during water pursuits—bringing a long-missing sense of authenticity to the game’s coastal law enforcement.

The San Andreas Park Rangers are a specialized branch of state law enforcement responsible for protecting the vast wilderness, state parks, and natural reserves scattered across the state. From the dense forests of Shady Creeks to the arid backwoods of Tierra Robada, Park Rangers serve as the guardians of nature—patrolling trails, preventing illegal hunting, and providing assistance to lost or injured hikers.
While their focus lies in conservation and public safety within state-managed lands, Park Rangers are fully sworn officers. If they witness a crime—even outside the park—they’ll act. Their presence reflects San Andreas’ diverse geography and the need for a dedicated rural law enforcement body to protect both people and the environment.
In the original GTA San Andreas, the concept of Park Rangers is absent. Despite the state featuring massive wilderness regions, no official force patrols or maintains the natural areas. This leaves a logical gap in the law enforcement ecosystem, especially considering the size and detail of San Andreas’ backcountry.
To fill that gap, we’ve introduced the San Andreas Park Rangers—a new agency inspired by the U.S. National Park Service Rangers and various state-level wilderness enforcement bodies active during the 1990s.
Their vehicle fleet includes rugged, forest-ready versions of the Rancher and Yosemite, equipped for off-road patrol duties. Additionally, they operate a marked version of the LVPD Premier, repurposed as a ranger command or supervisor unit—perfect for longer-distance travel between park districts or responding to incidents near urban borders.
Their livery reflects the earthy tones and utilitarian designs typical of real-world park service vehicles, helping distinguish them from urban police while maintaining a clear law enforcement presence. Park Rangers won’t appear in urban chases or regular traffic, but can be encountered deep in the woods—and they will engage if trouble finds its way into their parks.
This addition not only adds depth to the law enforcement structure of San Andreas but brings much-needed life and realism to its underused rural zones.
