Turning off wanted levels and AI dispatch on a FiveM server

In single-player GTA, shooting near a cop earns stars and a swarm of AI police. On a roleplay server that is exactly wrong: crime should be answered by real officers, not by the game. Turning the wanted system and AI dispatch off is one of the first scripts every roleplay server installs — and it is short.

Short answer: In a client script, call SetMaxWantedLevel(0), disable every dispatch service with EnableDispatchService(i, false) for services 1 to 15, stop random police with SetCreateRandomCops(false), and silence the scanner with SetAudioFlag('PoliceScannerDisabled', true). Clear any existing wanted level on spawn with ClearPlayerWantedLevel(PlayerId()).

Disable Wanted Level and AI Police Dispatch in FiveM

#The complete script

client.lua
CreateThread(function()
    local player = PlayerId()

    SetMaxWantedLevel(0)
    ClearPlayerWantedLevel(player)
    SetPoliceIgnorePlayer(player, true)
    SetDispatchCopsForPlayer(player, false)

    for service = 1, 15 do
        EnableDispatchService(service, false)
    end

    SetCreateRandomCops(false)
    SetCreateRandomCopsNotOnScenarios(false)
    SetCreateRandomCopsOnScenarios(false)

    SetAudioFlag('PoliceScannerDisabled', true)
    DistantCopCarSirens(false)
end)

The loop covers the game’s dispatch services — police cars, helicopters, boats, ambulances, fire trucks, army and more — so no AI unit is sent in response to anything.

#Keeping it off after respawn

Most of these settings persist for the session, but some scripts and events can reset them. Re-run the block when the player spawns (for example in your framework’s player-loaded event), and make sure no other resource sets a wanted level.

#Keeping some AI services

Some servers keep AI ambulances or fire trucks for atmosphere while removing police. Leave those services enabled in the loop. Keep the wanted level at 0 either way — stars are the trigger for AI police.

Questions

How do I disable the wanted level in FiveM?
Call SetMaxWantedLevel(0) in a client script, and ClearPlayerWantedLevel(PlayerId()) to remove any current stars.
How do I stop AI police from responding?
Disable dispatch services with EnableDispatchService(i, false) for 1 to 15 and turn off random cops with SetCreateRandomCops(false).
How do I turn off the police scanner voice?
SetAudioFlag('PoliceScannerDisabled', true).
Do I need this on a roleplay server?
Almost always. Crime should be handled by player police, not by the game’s AI.
