When you enter an Emergency vehicle you well hear the radio at random times.
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. With a few exceptions (i.e. the [[Predator]]), nearly all emergency vehicles have an emergency radio.


== Description ==
Upon entering an emergency vehicle, such as a [[Police car|police car]], [[ambulance]] or [[Fire Truck|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 a unseen police control room and police units on the ground. Messages heard include reports of disturbances, requests for help, replies and humorous verbal exchanges. 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.


The audio track for the emergency radio are identical between [[Grand Theft Auto 1|GTA 1]] and [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]], having been featured as a partially inaudible looped track for police chatter only. In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]], a completely new looped track was used, containing more specific dialog between the police dispatcher and police units on duty, as well as requests from police officer to dispatch medical or fire services. The loop is rerecorded again for [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]], this time featuring two versions, one played under normal conditions, and another played during the [[Los Santos Riots|Los Santos riots]]; the former implies that the emergency radio is used by all branches of the [[San Andreas Police Department]], and the latter implies major disturbances occurring not only in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]], but also [[Red County]], [[Whetstone]], [[San Fierro]], and [[Las Venturas]].


San Andreas:
There are no emergency radio tracks in [[Grand Theft Auto Advance|GTA Advance]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars|GTA Chinatown Wars]].


== Radio reports on player's criminal acts ==
For much of the series, police chatter reporting of a disturbance by the player at that location can be heard, regardless of whether or not the player is in an emergency vehicle. In both [[Grand Theft Auto 1|GTA 1]] and [[Grand Theft Auto 2|GTA 2]], any infraction (including "Bump 'n' Shunt" vehicle collisions) are usually followed by police radio chatter reporting that a crime has been committed; reports of inbound law enforcement units can also be heard when the player is under higher wanted levels. Since [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]] (except [[Grand Theft Auto Advance|GTA Advance]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars|GTA Chinatown Wars]]), such police chatter will only be heard when the player's wanted level is raised or is on a one-star level or above (e.g. in GTA San Andreas, when the player shoots two people, he will then hear the police radio say something like, “Head to a 10-37 in central [[Palisades]]. Suspect last seen on foot.”). Also, if the player has a wanted level, every two minutes or so, the police radio will usually call out the player's last known state (on foot or using a vehicle). In GTA San Andreas, the police radio will always call out the player's last known state after calling out the crime.


If the player's wanted level increases in [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]], it can be beneficial to hijack a law enforcement vehicle as the player can use the radio to listen in on where the police are and what reinforcements are incoming. The player can listen to the police radio while being chased; it will indicate which vehicles the police are sending after the protagonist. The "dispatched from [location]" gives the general spawning point for police vehicles. Some are: "Dispatch X (number of police units, usually 2-6) units from __", "Dispatch Air Unit from __", "Dispatch FIB team from __" and "Dispatch NOOSE team from __". By knowing which law enforcement teams are located and when they will jump into action, the player can easily shake off the police.


The police messages in [[GTA San Andreas]] are simply looped audio, and don't refer to events occuring in-game.

===Riot-triggered chatter===
The vehicles mentioned below are vehicles which are emergency service vehicles, but are not equiped with an emergency vehicle radio.
* [[Predator]] (GTA San Andreas only)


When the riots are triggered (either during the storyline or when the chaos mode cheat is active), the conversations on the police scanner are different. The messages are usually about riots around San Andreas. There are various sounds of chaos in the background, such as people shouting, windows smashing, explosions, alarms, etc.
