Community:Local Police Department
[Reason: The information that is known because the information is being investigated is described. It will be updated sequentially.]
The Local Police Department（fka: Loli Police Department）, also known as the LPD, is a VRChat roleplay community known notably for using small police officer avatars to entertain bystanders by loosely 'enforcing the law' within VRChat. The group has no connections to any real life police department, and is purely made to entertain the VRChat community.
History of the Local Police Department
The department was founded in early 2018 by Former Chief Sarma under the original Precinct 60 as the Loli Police Department. The group roleplays as police officers in order to create funny interactions with the VRChat community. They also try to fight against harassment in any shape or form. It is the forefront of justice in the virtual realms of VRChat.
On November 17 of 2019, Sarma resigned as LPD chief and decided to close his Discord server. Since then Hroi, RocketInaPocket, Wolta, Nathanimall and Tide rebuilt the community under the leadership of then Chief of Police Rickity, reforming it as Precinct 18 on November 18th, 2019, keeping the original name. The community stuck together and rebuilt, and in early 2020 Hroi was elected in as the third Chief of the LPD, supported by Deputy Chiefs DrCheesebuger and TheGamingExite, and later on RookieRanger. On March 7th, 2021, Hroi stepped down as Chief of Police, and Molls was elected in as the fourth Chief of Police by the Staff Team; DerpiCat and Notshane were brought on as new Deputy Chiefs.
The LPD saw heightened growth and experiences under the leadership of Molls. In March of 2022, Chief Molls stepped down from the position after about a year of service. Nightwisp was chosen as an Interim Chief of Police until a formal election for the fifth Chief was held, however he also stepped down due to a sudden shift of responsibilities and he ultimately returned to his rank of Captain. DerpiCat and Notshane continued leading the LPD until the next Chief election, which resulted in the selection of Karet as the LPD's fifth Chief of Police, as well as new deputy chief TheFoxyDemon, who joined DerpiCat and returned and replaced Notshane. After time, DerpiCat stood down & eventually Nightwisp took up the position of Deputy Chief. Derpi later returned as a Captain.
Through 2023 the LPD continued to see growth, and not only explored new opportunities but created new experiences for the LPD and VRChat community to enjoy. On April 7th of 2024, Karet and Nightwisp stepped down from their positions as the Chief of Police, and Deputy Chief. In addition, TheFoxyDemon stepped down to a Captain position to better focus on the teams under her leadership. With these changes of command, Jura was elected in as the LPD's fifth Chief of Police. Both DerpiCat and De-Mez were appointed in as his Deputy Chiefs to help bring the community forward into a new generation of leadership. In June of 2024, the LPD rebranded from the Loli Police Department to Local Police Department.
As 2025 approached, the LPD Leadership shifted to continue on it's mission of bringing the community forward. It saw the return of Karet to the rank of Captain, overseeing the project management sector of the department, with Rahlon and Taco356 moving up to the rank of Deputy Chief of Police respectively. These changes in command further nurture the department as it continues to grow and evolve.
In preparation of a new term for Chief of Police, on April 6th, 2025, Jura chose to step down from the position, along with announcing the election results for the LPD's Chief of Police for the 25-26 term. In the election process, the LPD Staff Team voted for Karet to return to the Chief position for a third, nonconsecutive term in office; The administration slating a path to fostering new creative ideas for not only the LPD to enjoy, but the entire VRChat community aswell. No new Deputies' were appointed, with Rahlon and Taco356 remaining part of the administrative team. Jura returned to the rank of Lieutenant, continuing to oversee the LPD's growing IT infrastructure, along with the LPD's team of Sergeants.
Today, the community still continues on it's primary mission as law enforcement entertainment for the VRChat community, and resides in its official Discord server. Officers follow a strict ruleset called "The Handbook". The Handbook informs officers about how to behave as an official LPD police officer.
Leading officers of the LPD community are called "White Shirts" due to their use of avatars with a white command shirt, opposed to standard blue patrol shirts. They are usually in charge of the LPD's teams and maintain their operations.
