The '''Washington Beach police station''' is a [[Vice City Police Department]] [[Police station|station]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. It is one of four police stations in [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]] and one of two located in [[Vice City Beach]] ([[Vice Point Police Station|the other]] being in [[Vice Point]]).

In GTA Vice City, the station is unique in that it boasts a set of interiors which can be accessed from the front at any point of the game; the interior consists of a lobby area, a front office, a locker and a shower room, prison cells, and the main office space. However, players who step beyond the boundaries of lobby into other parts of the interior will immediately attain a two-star [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era|wanted level]] and the wraft of the police. Acquiring and wearing a [[Clothing in GTA Vice City|police uniform]], available only after completing "[[Cop Land]]", allows the player to venture into the inner interiors without alerting the police (so long as the player is not already wanted); however, any act of hostility (inflicting injury on or killing a cop, revving a [[chainsaw]], firing a weapon or simply wrecking havok) will immediately negate the effects of the disguise and will be followed by the player attaining a two-star wanted level. In GTA Vice City Stories, the station is inaccessible.

Pickups the player can find in and around the station in GTA Vice City include a [[Nightstick]] in the locker room, [[Grenades]] at the rear car park (or [[Tear Gas]] in the PlayStation 2 version, the only location in the game where it spawns), the aforementioned [[Clothing in GTA Vice City|police uniform]] in the locker room, and a [[Hidden Package]] in the main offices. In GTA Vice City Stories, a [[Laser Sniper]] spawns on the rooftop of the station; a [[99 Red Balloons|red balloon]] can also be spotted lodged on a palm tree directly in front of the station.

The police station also spawns several vehicles in both GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories. For GTA Vice City, two [[Police Car|"Police" car]]s will spawn in the car park behind; in GTA Vice City Stories, a [[Police Car|VCPD Cruiser]] and a [[VCPD Wintergreen]] appear in the same area instead, and a [[VCPD Maverick]] is also available on the rooftop helipad.
