Police Computer
The police computer is a computer found on board most law enforcement vehicles in Grand Theft Auto IV, two episodes, and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. The computer is used to start the Most Wanted/Recent Crimes side-missions, or search through a small database of criminals in Liberty City.
Supported vehicles
Although the police computer is assumed to be standard on all road-based law enforcement vehicles (except bikes), this is not the case in reality, as certain models do not come equipped with it; a significant number of law enforcement vehicles in GTA IV may also lack an actual police computer in their interior despite allowing the player to access one.
