Notable features in these configs:
- Special Unit types:
- Offroad Patrol can respond to areas a normal patrol unit can't.
- Pursuing a bike and can't keep up with them in traffic? Call a Bike Unit! LSPD, LSSD, or SAHP will respond to assist.
- SAHP HEAT units can be called for pursuit backup to keep up with suspects you aren't able to.
- SAHP CVE units will respond to assist with any big rigs you may encounter
- San Andreas Park Rangers can be called to assist with wildlife or parks issues
- A LifeFlight helicopter can be called to rescue victims an ambulance may not be able, or quick, enough to rescue.
- Custom patrol zones via CustomRegions.xml which allows secondary departments like Paleto Bay or Sandy Shores to respond, sometimes alongside another department like BCSO.
- All secondary departments have uniforms in a wardrobe.ini file, see below for install instructions to use them yourself in game.
A small chance exists for LSSD to respond in LS City Proper.

Final Notes and Known issues:
- These configs were intended for use with EUP 9.7, 9.8, and 9.9.
Older versions of EUP (9.6, 9.3, 8.3, 7.2, etc.) will NOT work. - Bike Unit AI was rather buggy in my testing, especially in LS City Proper, driving too slow or sometimes brake checking me during pursuit. I believe this has to do with LSPDFR's pursuit AI behavior and I'm not sure how to adjust that. Let me know in my server if you experience anything similar.
- If a secondary department doesn't respond in that area when called the first time, that is because I set it up on a VehicleSet chance-based system within Ultimate Backup so you don't get a dozen and one of the same department or vehicles every time when called multiple times in that area.
