LCPD in GTA IV Era: Difference between revisions

Police officers carry a range of equipment although in [[GTA IV]] the nightstick, or baton, has been removed due to its use being rather unrealistic and police do not beat a suspect just for minor offences, it is used as a weapon of defence. The police carry personal radios in order to report crimes and call for assistance - they can sometimes be seen talking into them while patrolling, as can security guards. The standard issue police firearm is a Glock 17 pistol. This is used when making arrests, pursuing suspects and self defence. If an officer is disarmed, they will resort to using their fists to defend themselves. If an officer is patrolling in a vehicle, and the suspect has a two star wanted level or more, the officer carries a pump shotgun. Officers patrolling at places of high security such as The [[Statue of Happiness]], [[Civilization Committee]] Headquarters and [[subway]] stations carry M4A1 Carbine Assault Rifles, which are a good deterent of terrorist activity and crime.
