The LVPD's headquarters is located in the northeast of the city, in the Roca Escalante district. LVPD officers wear uniforms consisting of a tan shirt and tan pants. These officers carry a Nightstick and a 9mm, and when the player reaches a 4 star wanted level an LVPD officer will carry a Shotgun. They mostly travel in pairs inside a Police Car and many officers walk the streets of Las Venturas.
The LVPD is modeled after the Las Vegas Police Department. The primary means of transportation for officers in Las Venturas is the Police Car. Interestingly, the police car in Las Venturas is unique, being based on a singular platform not used for any other vehicles in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The police cars in Los Santos and San Fierro are based on the Premier, a common civilian vehicle inspired by an early-mid 90's Chevrolet Caprice, while the LVPD cruiser resembles a late 80's Caprice. The police station is accessible and contains three weapons inside: a Shotgun, 9mm and a Nightstick, as well as a Body Armor. The police parking lot has two floors the bottom floor contains a glitch,another mechanical garage door on the righthand side of the station leads to the underground parking lot.
