How do you become a police officer in GTA 5?
Oh, wanting to switch sides, are we? Sadly, in the vanilla game of GTA 5, you can't officially become a police officer as part of the story or gameplay mechanics. However, the modding community comes to the rescue again! On PC, you can download the "LSPD First Response" mod (LSPDFR) that allows you to take on the role of a police officer, complete with missions, traffic stops, and more. Just remember to mod responsibly and keep it offline to avoid any potential issues with Rockstar.

Nope, can't be a cop in GTA 5 without mods. Stick to the dark side, friend.
Been playing as a cop in GTA 5 for years thanks to the LSPDFR mod. It completely changes the game, making it feel like a whole new experience. You get to respond to crimes, pull over suspicious vehicles, and much more. It's like the police sim we never got officially. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're on PC!
