LCPD Patrol

The Police Patrol is a Merit that has been modified for police service in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. It appears to be modeled after the seventh generation Chevrolet Impala Police Edition. The Police Patrol can be found on the streets of Liberty City along with the Police Cruiser. The vehicle is manufactured by Declasse, Rockstar's version of Chevrolet. It is generally used as a patrol vehicle rather than a pursuit vehicle, due to it being slower and heavier than the Police Cruiser (the acceleration is about the same), one of the few advantages it has over the Police Cruiser is that it sports four wheel drive. However, the LCPD, unable to afford faster, more specialized vehicles use it in a pursuit role if necessary, with the Police Cruiser providing backup until faster NOOSE units are called in.

The paint scheme is clearly lifted from the New York Police Department "NYPD" scheme.
