Frequently Asked Questions
What is FivePD?
FivePD is a multiplayer law-enforcement roleplay mod for FiveM, inspired by the single-player LSPD:FR mod. It lets players do real police work — traffic stops, arrests and high-stakes scenarios — cooperatively on a shared server.
Is FivePD free to use?
Yes. FivePD is free to download and run on your own FiveM server, and the community callout and vehicle packs around it are free too.
Can I play FivePD alone?
You can. FivePD is built for multiplayer, but it runs fine solo — you just miss the co-op scenes, backup and shared callouts that give it most of its depth.
Where can I download FivePD?
From the downloads page on this site, which always points at the current release. Avoid reuploads on third-party mirrors — they are frequently out of date.
Do I need ELS to run FivePD?
No. ELS is optional. It adds configurable emergency lighting; Luxart Vehicle Control is a lighter alternative if you want manual light and siren control instead.
