Best FiveM Police Scripts 2026: Complete LEO Resource Guide

The best FiveM police scripts in 2026 are wasabi-police as the police job, ox_mdt as the Mobile Data Terminal, ps-dispatch as the call-routing system, ps-evidence as the forensics layer, and Pickle Police Tools as the traffic enforcement bundle. Together they form a complete LEO stack that runs on QBCore, ESX, and QBOX, costs zero euros for the four open-source pieces, and around 30 euros if you add the premium traffic toolkit. Every script in this VertexMods guide is tested on a 64-slot QBCore and ESX server, scored against framework integration, code quality, and active maintenance, and reviewed by a former police lead from a 400-player roleplay server. The five layers below — police job, MDT, dispatch, evidence, traffic equipment — are the only categories an active police department actually needs in 2026. All four open-source layers ship in our free FiveM scripts library alongside 800+ other community-tested resources.
What does a complete FiveM police stack look like in 2026?
A complete FiveM police stack in 2026 is built from five layers, not a single script: a police job, a Mobile Data Terminal, a dispatch system, an evidence module, and a traffic enforcement bundle. The police job layer handles arrests, handcuffs, equipment loadouts, and prison integration — wasabi-police is the de facto standard because it ships with native QBCore, ESX, and QBOX support. The MDT layer handles plate lookups, warrants, reports, and officer notes; ox_mdt is the most actively maintained option and integrates with ox_lib and ox_target out of the box. The dispatch layer routes 911 calls and tracks officer status — ps-dispatch is the community default. The evidence layer adds fingerprints, shell casings, and DNA. The traffic layer adds ANPR, spike strips, and radar guns. Most servers run all five layers and decide one slot at a time whether to use a free or premium implementation.
Key takeaways:
- A FiveM police stack needs five layers: job, MDT, dispatch, evidence, and traffic equipment.
- A FiveM police job script (wasabi-police) handles arrests, handcuffs, and equipment loadouts.
- A FiveM MDT (ox_mdt) handles plate lookups, warrants, reports, and officer notes.
- A FiveM dispatch system (ps-dispatch) routes 911 calls and tracks officer availability.
- A FiveM police stack can be built entirely with free open-source layers in 2026.
Which FiveM police job script is best in 2026?
The best FiveM police job script in 2026 is wasabi-police, with Advanced Police Job as the premium alternative for servers that want a polished UI and built-in shift management. wasabi-police is open source, framework-agnostic, and ships with arrest mechanics, charge and warrant creation, fingerprint and shell-casing evidence, vehicle search and impound, undercover mode, fines and citations, and prison integration — all configurable from a single config file. It supports QBCore, ESX, and QBOX natively, which is why it has replaced qb-policejob and esx_policejob as the default choice on new builds. Advanced Police Job costs 29.99 euros and adds a duty roster, rank-based loadouts, an integrated evidence locker, and body-camera recording for servers that want a more complete out-of-the-box solution. Both scripts pair cleanly with ox_mdt and ps-dispatch, so the police job choice does not lock you into the rest of the stack.
Key takeaways:
- The best free FiveM police job in 2026 is wasabi-police, which runs on QBCore, ESX, and QBOX.
- The best premium FiveM police job in 2026 is Advanced Police Job, with shift management and bodycam.
- A FiveM police job script handles arrests, charges, warrants, evidence, and prison integration.
- A FiveM police job choice does not lock the server into a specific MDT or dispatch script.
- Both wasabi-police and Advanced Police Job pair cleanly with ox_mdt and ps-dispatch.

Key features:
- Full QBCore native integration

esx_policejob
Framework: ESX only
Price: Free (open source)
The ESX equivalent of qb-policejob. Covers the basics reliably but hasn't kept pace with newer script standards.

Price: Free (open source, Project Sloth)
The most popular community dispatch system. Handles call routing, officer status boards, and automated alerts for in-world events (shooting, car crashes, robberies).

Setup Tips for Police RP
- Define clear use-of-force rules before launch — arrest RP, pursuit guidelines, and code of conduct reduce powergaming from day one
- Rank-based loadouts — don't give every officer every tool immediately; equipment tied to rank creates progression and accountability
- Build an internal affairs mechanic — knowing actions are reviewable through bodycam footage and MDT reports raises RP quality
- Training system — structured onboarding for new officers pays off in RP consistency
- Regular log reviews — check MDT reports and arrest logs for RP quality and rule violations

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best free FiveM police script?
wasabi-police and qb-policejob are the two best free options. wasabi-police is framework-agnostic and more feature-rich; qb-policejob is tightly integrated with QBCore out of the box.
Do I need a separate dispatch script?
Yes. Your police job script handles the in-game mechanics, but you need a dedicated dispatch system (like ps-dispatch or cd_dispatch) for officers to receive and coordinate calls.
How many police officers does my server need?
A good rule of thumb: 1 active officer per 10–15 players. On a 64-slot server, aim for 4–6 active LEOs on duty for quality police RP.
Can I use ox_mdt with QBCore?
Yes. ox_mdt works with QBCore, ESX, and QBox via the ox_lib bridge system. It's the most actively maintained MDT available.
What's the difference between a police job script and a full LEO pack?
A police job script covers the core mechanics (arrests, handcuffs, equipment). A full LEO pack bundles the job, MDT, dispatch, ANPR, and evidence into one resource — easier to set up but less flexible.
