Jay Halstead

General Description
Jay Halstead is a well decorated officer of the Los Santos Police Department

He's dedicated his whole life to the police force putting criminals in their place. He's had to bend the rules a few times to get the bad guy but that's just a hazard of the job in his eye's. He runs the Criminal Investigations Division where he hunts the high value members of gangs, known drug runners, or evil murderers.

If you ever see Jay Halstead in action then you'll see first hand how he operates, if you're ever in his crosshairs you better leave buy a plane ticket to another country. One way or another Halstead always gets his man. Sometimes, not so legally, they once found a dead lawyer in the LS River, and that's all I'm going to say about that...

Allies
Jay has a lot of allies, sort of by default. Everyone that has decided to cross Halstead somehow disappeared. Something many people don't know about Jay Halstead is that he is actually in very good relations with one of the cities biggest crime lords Richard Cheeze. In the past Halstead has done "Favors" for Mr. Richard, obviously not legal.

Halstead is usually good with all of the other officers of other departments, there are a few exceptions obviously.

Enemies
One of Halstead's biggest enemies is the Chief of Police "Dustin Woody". The chief has had a vendetta against Halstead ever since he falsely imprisoned Halst ead for allegedly selling weapons to known gang members. (Which he did NOT do)

Character Traits
Halstead has a lot of great traits, he needs to always be on his toes because there is no room for error since the Chief is always on his ass.


 * Intelligent
 * Deceptive
 * Easy-Going
 * Level Headed
 * Observant
 * Funny

Background Information
Jay Halstead is originally from Chicago Illinois. He was previously a Detective with the Chicago Police Department where he was under the command of a Sergeant Hank Voight, in the most prestigious unit in Chicago. The Intelligence unit was a group of highly trained Detectives who went after the worst of the worst in Chicago. Tracking down Murderers, Armed robbers, and saving victims of kidnap and other heinous crimes.

Jay previously had a quite serious relationship with a former Detective from his unit. Erin Lindsey, ever since the downfall of that relationship Jay has been reluctant to get himself into another in house relationship.

After about 9 years with the CPD Halstead decided it was time for a change of scenery. He packed up his bags and came out to Los Santos. He applied with the Los Santos Police Department where he landed a Sergeant position right away because of his previous experience. It wasn't until he was promoted to Lieutenant with LSPD when he was given the right to run CID (Criminal Investigations Division)
