way too redundant with all the "player"s. Not needed.

The player's wanted level, which reflects how much attention the police give them, is simply illustrated by one or more police heads on top of the screen (in GTA 1, the police heads are those of generalized American cops with [[wp:peaked cap|peaked cap]]s, while those in GTA London are distinguishable by their signature [[wp:custodian helmet|custodian helmet]]s); the heads bob in an up-and-down motion the player is in sight of one or more police officers, but remain stationary when the player evades the police. This feature was carried over to [[Grand Theft Auto 2]].

At the start of the game, the player has no wanted level and the player is ignored, but when the player commits a serious crime, the police give the player more attention, and the wanted level increases, up to a maximum of four police heads. At wanted level one, the police tend only to give chase if they are in the area anyway (unlike GTA 2 and its successors, even a single wanted level will not disperse on its own), whereas at four, the police set up roadblocks on major roads, shoot on sight, and send everyone available to the player's location.
