How to Set Up Police & EMS Jobs in FiveM

Police and EMS are the backbone jobs of almost every GTA RP server — they drive the law-and-order loop that makes roleplay work. This guide covers how to set up police and EMS jobs in FiveM.

What a police/EMS job needs

A complete emergency job is more than a uniform. It usually includes:

• The job itself — registered in your framework with grades (cadet → chief) and a duty toggle.
• A station MLO — armory, locker room, garage and cells (see our MLO guide).
• Job vehicles — a garage that spawns patrol cars for on-duty officers.
• Tools — cuffs, MDT/computer, dispatch, evidence, and EMS revive/treatment for medics.
• Uniforms — EUP clothing assigned by the job (see our EUP guide).

How to set it up

1. Install a police (and an ambulance/EMS) job script built for your framework — ESX and QBox both have well-known options. Match the script to your framework.
2. Import any SQL the script includes and ensure it in your server.cfg.
3. Register the police/ambulance jobs in your framework’s jobs config (see adding jobs).
4. Place the station MLO and set its armory, garage and duty markers (modern scripts use ox_target zones).
5. Assign players to the job via a boss menu or admin command, and set ACE permissions for command access.

Best practices

• Validate server-side — never trust the client for “am I a cop”; check the job server-side so players can’t grant themselves police powers.
• Whitelist emergency jobs — most servers gate police/EMS behind an application and a boss-managed roster.
• Balance the loadout — give each grade the right tools and vehicles, not everything at once.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add a police job to FiveM?

Install a police job script for your framework, import its SQL, register the job in your jobs config, set up a station MLO with armory/garage, and assign players via a boss menu — validating the job server-side.

Are police and EMS jobs whitelisted?

Usually yes — they’re application-only and managed by a boss/admin roster to keep quality and accountability high.

What do I need for an EMS job?

An ambulance job script with revive/treatment mechanics, a hospital MLO, EMS vehicles, and uniforms — set up the same way as police.
