The Neighborhood Watch event in GTA Online rolls on with a timely freebie: the Winter LSPD Officer Uniform set. It’s a themed outfit drop that fits perfectly with the current law‑enforcement spotlight, pairing nicely with patrol‑style vehicles and role‑play sessions around Los Santos. The reward is available for a limited window tied to the active event period; qualify during the week and you’ll be able to equip the uniform at any clothing store once it’s granted to your account. If you’re building a clean, service‑ready look for meetups, security contracts, or community patrol nights, this is an easy pickup that adds presence without costing a dollar.

How to get it

  • Play during the active Neighborhood Watch event window highlighted in the in‑game News/Event Bonuses panel and on Rockstar Newswire.
  • Engage with the featured activities for the week (as listed in Event Bonuses); in some weeks, a simple login during the window is enough to qualify.
  • Watch for an in‑game alert confirming the reward. After it’s granted, visit any clothing store to equip it.
  • If it doesn’t appear immediately, swap lobbies or fully restart the game and check the clothing categories again.

Where to equip

  • Clothing Stores and Wardrobes: look under Outfits (Uniforms/Outfits > Themed) or assemble pieces manually in Tops, Pants, Accessories, and Shoes.
  • LS Car Meet Wardrobe: convenient for quick swaps before meets and cruises.
  • Save a preset in your wardrobe so you can switch back quickly after heists, contracts, or free‑mode events.

What’s in the set

  • Cold‑weather officer jacket with department‑style markings.
  • Base layer shirt and tie combo options suited to winter duty.
  • Matching duty trousers designed to pair with utility boots.
  • Cap/hat variant and light accessories such as gloves and a belt configuration.
  • Palette tuned for neutral pairings so it matches patrol‑spec vehicles and understated liveries.

Tips and pairings

  • Vehicle synergy: match with patrol‑leaning rides for cohesion; the Canis Terminus Patrol is a natural partner if you’ve claimed it.
  • Keep it readable: stick to clean, functional accessories; avoid loud masks or face gear if you want an authentic appearance.
  • Meet etiquette: lights, sirens, and crowd control go a long way—use effects thoughtfully in public sessions and car meets.
  • Photo ops: nighttime downtown, Del Perro Pier, and the LS Car Meet photo wall provide great lighting for uniform shots and crew portraits.
  • Save variants: create a formal version for ceremonies and a field version with gloves and utility details for patrol nights.

Dates and notes

  • Time‑limited: confirm the exact start/end of the Neighborhood Watch window in the Event Bonuses panel or the Newswire post.
  • Grant timing: rewards typically appear shortly after you qualify; if delayed, they’re usually delivered after a short processing period.
  • All platforms with GTA Online access can participate unless otherwise specified in the weekly post.
  • Stack value: check for parallel bonuses (GTA$, RP, discounts) tied to the same event—use them while you’re out collecting the outfit.

Bottom line

The Winter LSPD Officer Uniform is a simple, stylish way to join the Neighborhood Watch theme and give your crew a cohesive look for patrol‑style sessions. Play during the active window, watch for the unlock, and equip it at a clothing store or your wardrobe. Save a couple of variants, pair with a patrol‑ready vehicle, and you’re set for clean photos, organized meets, and confident free‑mode presence across Los Santos.
