Motor officers known also as police bikers are police units designated to use police motorcycles in patrols. Motor officers tend to don different police attire, typically wearing a helmet and boots, but otherwise behave in roughly the same manner as normal patrol car policemen. Throughout the series, only Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories have featured police bikers.
GTA San Andreas
Police bikers in GTA San Andreas are the only police force around the state of San Andreas that are consistent in all areas. (e.g. Country/Desert Police are found in respective areas and each city has a different police force).
Appearance
Police bikers in the game ride HPV-1000 police motorcycles, which, like other motorbikes, are far more maneuverable, agile and compact than cars. The use of motorcycles also allows them to shoot at any direction from their bike while pursuing a criminal, even with only a one-star wanted level.
Their uniform consists of a black with white turtle shell helmet, black leather jacket, biker boots, sunglasses, fingerless gloves and black striped pants, are armed with nightsticks and pistols, and are depicted as African American men (with African American accents). Their attire, as well as their choice of motorcycle, apparently mirrors those used by the Los Angeles police biker unit during the early 1990s, as well as the depiction of a T-1000 assuming the guise of a biker police in 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Behavior
Police bikers behave like all other members of the police, and will brandish a gun if you brandish one, the only extra behavior perk is that they will shoot you from their bikes regardless of your wanted level. Police bikers usually chase you when you have a one-two star wanted level. They will more often than not back off after you get too many stars.
GTA Vice City Stories
Appearance
Police bikers in GTA Vice City Stories are similar to those in GTA San Andreas in various regards. They don similar equipment, including a beige turtle shell helmet, sunglasses and boots (but otherwise feature the same beige-and-brown Vice City Police Department uniforms), as well as the standard issue nightsticks and pistols. However, the police ride VCPD Wintergreens, a police variant of the Wintergreen.
Behavior
As is police bikers in GTA San Andreas, GTA Vice City Stories' counter will only chase you at a one-two star wanted level, until faster, stronger, and all around better Police Cars arrive to chase you.
