The standard weapon of the LCPD in all of the GTA III era games is the [[pistol]], which in GTA III and GTA Advance is based off of an M1911, and the Glock 17 in Liberty City Stories. The SWAT division's standard weapon is the [[Micro-Uzi]] in GTA III and GTA Advance, and the [[Micro-SMG]] in GTA Liberty City Stories. The only part of any GTA III Era game where the LCPD uses any different weapons are in the GTA III missions, [[Silence the Sneak]], [[Decoy]] and [[Plaster Blaster]] where they use [[AK-47|AK-47s]], [[Shotgun|Shotguns]], and an [[M16]], Liberty City Stories mission, [[The Guns of Leone]], | The standard weapon of the LCPD in all of the GTA III era games is the [[pistol]], which in GTA III and GTA Advance is based off of an M1911, and the Glock 17 in Liberty City Stories.

The LCPD's vehicle of choice tends to be the "[[Police Car|Police]]", a generic squad car, and a police helicopter (which appears an [[Police Helicopter (GTA III)|unnamed and uncontrollable police helicopter]] in GTA III, and a [[Police Maverick]] in GTA Liberty City Stories), and the [[Predator]] for maritime pursuits. The SWAT branch operates [[Enforcer]]s. | The LCPD's vehicle of choice tends to be the "[[Police Car|Police]]", a generic squad car, and a police helicopter (which appears an [[Police Helicopter (GTA III)|unnamed and uncontrollable police helicopter]] in GTA III, and a [[Police Maverick]] in GTA Liberty City Stories), and the [[Predator]] for maritime pursuits (although in reality, they never use Predators to chase the player).

The livery of the police car varies between the three games. In GTA III and GTA Advance, police cars are depicted with a panda-like black and white color scheme, which looks similar to the LAPD livery. The police car in GTA Liberty City Stories, however, features a black body and white roof, with a pair of horizontal white strips. The GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories renditions feature "LCPD" and "Police" text on the sides, and the trunk and boot lids, respectively. | The livery of the police car varies between the three games.

In the beta versions of GTA III, the LCPD had different appearances. Vehicles (the police car, and the Enforcer) had a blue-white color scheme. Officers originally had mustaches. And there was an [[Military|army]] helicopter that may have been used alongside of the LCPD in higher wanted levels. The blue and white colors were reminiscent to that of the NYPD from which the LCPD is based off of. Changes to the final designs may have been linked to the September 11 Attacks in 2001. However the beta depictions on the [[Police Helicopter (GTA III)|helicopters]] still exist in-game. The beta LCPD still appears in the instruction manual of the original PS2 version. There is also an unused LCPD skin in the game files. | In the beta versions of GTA III, the LCPD had different appearances. Vehicles (the police car, and the Enforcer) had a blue-white color scheme.
