Weazel PD (nxp) - Modern Police Department MLO Interior

The Weazel PD MLO by NXP Studios delivers a comprehensive police department interior that transforms the iconic Weazel News Plaza location into a fully functional law enforcement headquarters. This isn't a simple room edit - it's a complete architectural reimagining that provides everything a modern police department needs: secure vehicle garage, open office spaces, equipment rooms, shooting range, forensics laboratory, holding cells, briefing areas, and extensive hallways that create realistic scale and navigation. Perfect for servers wanting to relocate MRPD or establish a secondary police station in a central Los Santos location.

What sets this MLO apart is the attention to operational workflow and roleplay functionality. The interior layout follows logical police department design with separated public/restricted areas, evidence handling zones, officer facilities, and command spaces. Every room serves a purpose beyond aesthetics - the shooting range is actually functional for training, the garage accommodates multiple patrol vehicles with proper clearance, the lab provides believable investigation spaces, and the office areas give officers places to write reports and interact between calls. It's designed by people who understand how police RP actually works.

What's Included

You receive a complete MLO package with all interior structures, prop placements, collision mapping, texture dictionaries, and occlusion data. The installation includes the main ymap files, stream folder with custom assets, and configuration documentation. All textures are fully customizable through the provided texture dictionaries, allowing you to rebrand the department with custom logos, colors, and signage. The package is optimized for performance with proper LOD levels and efficient prop placement that maintains visual quality without tanking FPS.

Perfect For

• Servers wanting to relocate MRPD to a more central Los Santos location
• Communities needing a secondary police station for division-based departments (metro, detective bureau, etc.)
• Roleplay servers focused on detailed police procedures and investigation RP
• Large whitelisted communities where MRPD feels too cramped for department size
• Servers using the Weazel News area and wanting multi-purpose government buildings
• Gang RP servers that need a police headquarters in contested territory for tactical gameplay

Location and Access

The MLO occupies the Weazel News Plaza building at the intersection of Abe Milton Parkway and Route 68 in West Vinewood. This central location provides excellent access to downtown Los Santos, Vinewood, Rockford Hills, and the northern neighborhoods. The positioning creates interesting tactical advantages for police patrol coverage while also placing law enforcement headquarters in a more urban, accessible area compared to the isolated MRPD Sandy Shores location many servers use.

The ground floor includes public access areas and the garage entrance, while upper floors house secure operational spaces. This vertical design allows for realistic access control - civilians can visit lower levels for reporting crimes or inquiries, while restricted areas require key card or permission systems. The layout supports popular door lock scripts and access control systems for proper security RP.

Installation

1. Extract the Weazel PD MLO package to your server resources directory
2. Locate the stream folder and verify all ymap, ytyp, and ytd files are present
3. If replacing an existing MLO at this location, disable or remove conflicting resources
4. Add ensure weazel-pd-nxp (or your renamed resource folder) to server.cfg
5. Configure any associated scripts (door locks, teleports, job restrictions) for the new interior
6. Restart server and verify interior loads correctly without collision or texture issues

Customization Options

All textures use customizable dictionaries, making it simple to rebrand the entire department. Change department logos on walls, modify uniform insignia in locker rooms, update signage throughout the building, or adjust color schemes to match your server's police faction branding. The texture system is organized logically with clear file naming, so designers can quickly identify and modify specific elements without hunting through hundreds of unnamed files.

The prop layout can be modified using standard FiveM MLO editing tools. Add or remove desks in the office area, reconfigure the holding cells, adjust the shooting range layout, or customize the evidence room organization. The base structure provides the architectural foundation while giving you flexibility to adapt spaces for your specific departmental needs and RP scenarios.

Performance Specifications

• FPS Impact - Optimized prop count and LOD levels maintain 60+ FPS on mid-range hardware when inside the interior
• Streaming Budget - Efficient texture usage keeps memory footprint reasonable even with high-quality assets
• Collision Accuracy - Precise collision mapping prevents players falling through floors or getting stuck in walls
• Occlusion Optimization - Proper occlusion culling ensures only visible areas render, improving performance in large interior spaces
• Draw Distance - Exterior markers and entryways visible from appropriate distances without excessive rendering load

Roleplay Applications

The layout naturally supports realistic police department workflows. Officers start shifts in the locker room, attend briefings, check out vehicles from the garage, and return to write reports in the office area. Detectives work cases in the lab, analyzing evidence and building investigations. Command staff coordinate operations from private offices. Arrestees get processed through holding cells with proper booking procedures. Trainers conduct qualifications at the shooting range. Dispatchers monitor calls from the communication center.

The space also enables complex scenarios like internal affairs investigations (separate interview rooms), tactical planning for raids (briefing room with strategic displays), evidence reviews for court cases (dedicated examination areas), and departmental events like promotion ceremonies or memorial services. The variety of spaces prevents the everything happens in one room problem many smaller police MLOs suffer from.

Integration with Police Scripts

This MLO works seamlessly with popular police job resources like esx_policejob, qb-policejob, and custom law enforcement frameworks. The garage is compatible with vehicle spawn scripts and impound systems. The evidence room integrates with property/evidence management systems. The shooting range works with qualification and training scripts. The holding cells connect to jail/prison transport systems. The design anticipates these integrations with appropriately placed interaction zones and logical equipment locations.

What Makes It Stand Out

Unlike basic police station MLOs that are just a few rooms, this is a complete operational headquarters with scale that matches real police departments. The attention to detail extends beyond aesthetics - the workflow design shows understanding of actual police operations and roleplay needs. The Weazel News location choice is strategic, putting law enforcement in the heart of Los Santos rather than isolated on the outskirts. And the customizable textures mean this doesn't look like every other server's police station - you can make it uniquely yours.

Texture Customization Details

The texture dictionary system allows modification of wall signage, floor logos, uniform insignias, equipment labels, evidence tags, door markings, and directional signs throughout the interior. This goes beyond just changing a department name - you can create complete visual identity with custom badges, motto displays, rank insignia charts, memorial walls with custom names, and even modify vehicle bay numbers and equipment locker assignments. The possibilities for departmental branding are extensive.

Compatibility Considerations

Since this MLO occupies the Weazel News building, it conflicts with any other resources using that location (news station interiors, business MLOs, etc.). Plan your map accordingly or use this as your primary structure for that landmark. The vertical layout works well with elevator scripts or teleport systems if you want floor-by-floor access control. The garage entrance may need coordination with surrounding traffic flow and parking scripts to prevent congestion.

Why Police Departments Choose This MLO

Department leadership appreciates having distinct spaces for different functions - patrol operations are separate from investigations, which are separate from command functions. This organizational clarity improves roleplay structure and helps new officers learn departmental layout quickly. The professional appearance raises recruitment appeal and gives departments a headquarters they're proud to show during ride-alongs. The central location reduces response times to most call locations compared to remote station placements.

Technical Support

The MLO includes installation documentation with troubleshooting steps for common issues like texture loading, collision problems, or conflicting resources. NXP Studios provides support for installation questions and texture customization guidance. The resource is built using standard FiveM MLO architecture, making it compatible with existing mapping tools and compatible with most server configurations without special requirements.

(All textures are fully customizable through the texture dictionaries.)
