patreon.com/TheCriminalHistorian Authority, Manipulation and Self preservation, these are the tools and guiding principles of tonight’s subject. A Man whose notorious time as a crooked police officer for the LSPD’s infamous C.R.A.S.H division helped shape the city he controlled for the worse. We will see the abuse, death and destitution that a single police unit was capable of raining down upon the gangbangers of Central Los Santos and the man in charge of the entire operation. An officer of the law who saw fit to prioritize maintaining his power and remaining in charge over any obligation to “protect and serve” the communities he terrorized and whose own delusional aspirations caused the downfall of the LSPD’s gang busting operations during the 1990’s and forever tained the reputation of Police departments in San Andreas, even to this day; Officer Frank Tenpenny.
