Police Cruisers were originally seen in the first [[Grand Theft Auto V]] trailer with a mere change of livery to match the [[wp:LAPD|Los Angeles Police Department]] and a Vista styled lightbar, replacing the Vector lightbar from GTA IV. Oddly, the car retains its NYPD style pushbar from GTA IV, even though the LAPD only mount pushbars on traffic units.
In GTA V, the LSPD uses three distinct models for their Police Cruisers, two of which are manufactured by the [[Vapid|Vapid Motor Company]] and the third by [[Bravado]].


;Older model
;Vapid [[Stanier]]-based model
The older model is based on the second generation [[Stanier]] sedan, which in turn is based on the [[wp:Ford Crown Victoria|1998-2011 Ford Crown Victoria]]. The LSPD version of this Police Cruiser commonly spawns at police stations and is almost never seen in pursuits. The Stanier-based Cruiser is more common in rural areas of San Andreas, where it is the [[Sheriff Cruiser|only sedan model]] used by the Los Santos County and Blaine County Sheriff Departments. A third variant of the Stanier-based Cruiser is an [[Unmarked Cruiser|unmarked version]], which has its lightbars hidden in the upper part of the windscreens.
The LSPD version of Stanier Police Cruiser commonly spawns at police stations, rarely spawns in traffic near police stations and is almost never seen in pursuits. The livery of the LSPD Stanier matches the real life [[wp:Los Angeles Police Department|LAPD]] livery. The Stanier model is more common in rural areas of San Andreas, where it is the [[Sheriff Cruiser|only sedan model]] used by the Los Santos County and Blaine County Sheriff Departments. A third variant of the Stanier-based Cruiser is an [[Unmarked Cruiser|unmarked version]], which has its lightbars hidden in the upper part of the windscreens.


;Newer model
;Unnamed Vapid model
The newer model is based on the [[wp:Ford_Taurus_(sixth_generation)#Police_Interceptor_Sedan|2013-present Ford Taurus Police Interceptor]] with the rear influenced from the Australian [[wp:Ford FG Falcon|2008-2014 Ford Falcon]]. This model of the Police Cruiser uses more generic livery, with only LSPD stickers on its back bumper. It is the vehicle usually encountered in pursuits at [[Wanted Level in GTA V|three stars and below]] while inside the Los Santos city limits. This version rarely spawns at police stations.
The newer Vapid model is based on the [[wp:Ford_Taurus_(sixth_generation)#Police_Interceptor_Sedan|2013-present Ford Taurus Police Interceptor]] with the rear influenced from the Australian [[wp:Ford FG Falcon|2008-2014 Ford Falcon]]. This model of the Police Cruiser uses generic livery, with only LSPD bumper stickers on its back bumper. It is the vehicle usually encountered [[Wanted Level in GTA V|in pursuits]] while inside the Los Santos city limits. This version rarely spawns at police stations. Unlike the Stanier, Buffalo, and [[Granger]], there is no civilian counterpart of this sedan.

The Buffalo Police Cruiser is the rarest variant. Similar to the unnamed Vapid sedan model, the Buffalo model uses generic police livery; however, the LSPD badge is also present on the hood.
