The Police work upon a [[Wanted Level]] system against the player. If the player is noticed performing a crime, he may gain a Wanted Star (increasing his wanted level). More serious crimes will grant a higher wanted level. Police responses vary depending on the wanted level, ranging from foot chases to calling in the helicopter, [[FBI]] or even [[Army]].

Relevant offenses include crashing into a police car, shooting pedestrians, stealing vehicles, entering prohibited areas or occasionally unavoidable participation in certain missions (ex. bank heists). The police will not arrest you for trespassing on private property, traffic offenses (ex. speeding, running red lights), carrying weapons in public, damaging property, impersonation (ex. wearing police uniform). See a comprehensive list of arrestable offenses below.

If the player gets [[Busted|arrested]] by the police (or "Busted"), the player will respawn at the nearest [[Police Station]], but lose some money and all of his weapons. Higher levels of law enforcement are not concerned with arrest, but with killing the player. [[Wasted|Death]] is only temporary, and results in being returned to a nearby [[Hospitals|hospital]] with the loss of weapons and some money. (No weapons are lost in GTA IV)

In [[GTA IV]], the police in [[Multiplayer in GTA IV|multiplayer]] mode will not arrest the player, but will shoot at the player in an attempt to kill them, though they can still pull the player out of a car. At 4 stars the police send in an [[Annihilator]] with two NOOSE agents with assualt rifles firing from the sides of the chopper. The police will arrive in cars containing two police officers. One will carry a [[Pistol]] while the other will (usually) carry a [[Pump Action Shotgun]], regardless of what guns are allowed in the online game. NOOSE agents arrive in NOOSE Enforcers only, as the [[NOOSE Cruiser]], the [[NOOSE Patriot]], and the [[FIB Buffalo]] only appear in Race and GTA Race multiplayer modes, albeit they are only used by the players. NOOSE agents are equipped mainly with Carbine Rifles and SMGs, but sometimes they have a Pump Shotgun and NOOSE agents will sometimes fall back to their pistol if they lose their weapon. The [[FIB]] does not appear in multiplayer at all, and the Police Maverick also only appears in the Race and GTA Race modes. It is notable that Wanted Levels are usually cumulative if multiple players are riding in the same vehicle. When faced with multiple players with wanted levels, the police usually target the nearest player. The player can still use a [[Pay N Spray]] in multiplayer, though the same rules using them when police are nearby in single player apply to multiplayer as well.
