Downtown Vice City Police Station: Difference between revisions

The Downtown police department in GTA Vice City.

The Downtown Police Department is a Vice City Police Department station in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It is one of four police departments in Vice City and one of two located on the Mainland (the other being in Little Havana).

Description

Located in Downtown Vice City, the northernmost district in the Vice City Mainland, the police department serves as the respawning point for players who are arrested within the northern half of Vice City Mainland. The station itself is by far the largest in the city, occupying a massive white, V-shaped corner building, also serving as the SWAT's headquarters, and being the only police department in the city with a helipad. The police department is also based across the road from Vice City's only fire department. Like police departments in Little Havana and in Vice Point, it is inaccessible.

The police station spawns several vehicles in both GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories. In both games, a "Police" car/VCPD Cruiser spawns along the west side of the building, while a Police Maverick/VCPD Maverick will spawn on the helipad (in GTA Vice City Stories, this does not occur until the player unlocks Vice City Beach). GTA Vice City Stories includes two more vehicles in the locale: an Enforcer behind the building, and a VCPD Wintergreen on the south side.

The building itself is apparently based in part on the former Walgreen Drug Store in the Downtown Miami Historic District.
