An '''Emergency Vehicle Radio''', also known as an '''Emergency Radio''' and '''Police Radio''', is, as the name states, a special type of vehicle radio that is carried by most emergency vehicles in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] Series.

Vehicles with the [[Police Computer]] added usually have an Emergency Vehicle Radio equiped with it.


Upon entering an Emergency Vehicle, such as a [[Police car]], an [[Ambulance]] or a [[Fire truck]], instead of having the regular radio stations enabled, the player will be able to listen to the emergency channel, where chatter and information are relayed from the emergency PC to the vehicles listening to them, so they can quickly head to the location indicated and do whatever they are tasked or asked to do.
Upon entering an Emergency Vehicle, such as a [[Police car]], [[Ambulance]] or [[Fire truck]], the player is not able to listen to the in-game radio. Instead, the emergency service's radio communications are heard, where chatter, instructions and information are relayed to and from the control room and emergency services, including police, fire service and ambulances. Messages heard include reports of disturbances, requests for ambulances, replies and other comments.


When the player obtains a [[wanted level]] of three stars or more, it is best to hijack a law enforcement vehicle, as the player can use the Emergency Vehicle Radio to lisen to where the police are and what reinforcements are going to be sent over to deal with the player.

Police often uses codes (such as the 10-codes, 11-codes, and so on) to shorten their messages and refer to the events happening or relayed. However, in fiction, real 10-codes are rarely ever used, preferring to make their own or to use fictional/random codes. This is the case with GTA, as for example, a 10-37 translates to "Operator on duty", which probably doesn't really need an ambulance, or a 10-57 meaning "Missing person", made contradictory if a location is given right after. It is possible certain cases are merely parodies, but often codes given are nonsensical in fiction context.
Police often uses codes (such as the 10-codes, 11-codes, and so on) to provide short, clear and consistent messages. The codes used in GTA games do not appear to match codes use in the real world, although different police forces often use their own 10-codes.

An Emergency Vehicle Radio, also known as Police Radio, is a special radio station heard in most emergency vehicles in the Grand Theft Auto series. Nearly all emergency vehicles have a police radio although there are some exceptions (ie. the Predator). Vehicles with the Police Computer usually also have an Emergency Vehicle Radio.

Upon entering an Emergency Vehicle, such as a Police car, Ambulance or Fire truck, the player is not able to listen to the in-game radio. Instead, the emergency service's radio communications are heard, where chatter, instructions and information are relayed to and from the control room and emergency services, including police, fire service and ambulances. Messages heard include reports of disturbances, requests for ambulances, replies and other comments.

In some games(?), when the player obtains a wanted level, the police radio will report of a disturbance at that location. If the player's wanted level increases, it can be beneficial to hijack a law enforcement vehicle, as the player can use the Emergency Vehicle Radio to lisen to where the police are and what reinforcements are incoming.

Police often uses codes (such as the 10-codes, 11-codes, and so on) to provide short, clear and consistent messages. The codes used in GTA games do not appear to match codes use in the real world, although different police forces often use their own 10-codes.
