'''Police cars''' are emergency services vehicles primarily used by [[police]] officers. The cars begin to chase the [[Protagonist|protagonist]] of each [[Grand Theft Auto]] game when they have received either a [[GTA2 wanted level|police head]] or [[Wanted Level|wanted star]]. Police cars are known by different names in different games, whilst [[GTA IV]] has two models of police cars: The '''[[Police Cruiser]]''' and '''[[Police Patrol]]'''. | |||
Other police and [[:Category:Law Enforcement Vehicles|law enforcement vehicles]] exist. These include the [[Enforcer]] police/SWAT van, the [[Police Maverick]] helicopter, [[HPV-1000]] police bike and the [[Predator]] police boat. | |||

In [[Grand Theft Auto 1]] the police car is known as the "Squad Car" and there are three variants; the [[Liberty City in GTA 1|Liberty City]] variant, which looks like an early '90s Chevrolet Caprice, and the [[City of San Andreas|San Andreas]]/[[Vice City in GTA 1|Vice City]] variants, which appear to be police-issue versions of the [[Portsmouth]]. Surprisingly, it is the fastest car in the game, and is capable of taking alot of damage. In the PC version of GTA 1, the police cars (along with the [[Ambulance]] and the [[Fire Truck]]) will have their radio tuned to [[Radio Stations in GTA 1|Brooklyn Underground FM]], unlike all other renditions throughout the series which only have the standard police dispatch radio. | In [[Grand Theft Auto 1]], the police car is known as the "'''Squad Car'''" and there are three variants; the [[Liberty City in GTA 1|Liberty City]] variant, which looks like an early '90s Chevrolet Caprice, and the [[City of San Andreas|San Andreas]]/[[Vice City in GTA 1|Vice City]] variants, which appear to be police-issue versions of the [[Portsmouth]].

In [[Grand Theft Auto 2]] the police car is known as the "Cop Car" and assumes a completely original design, looking like a modernised 1940s car. Like in GTA 1, it is the fastest car in the game, along with the [[Meteor]], and is the only car in the game which gives a Cop Bribe when crushed. | In [[Grand Theft Auto 2]] the police car is known as the "'''Cop Car'''" and assumes a completely original design, looking like a modernised 1940s car.

Throughout all GTA III era games, | Throughout all GTA III era games, the police cars, referred simply as the '''Police''', are very fast with excellent handling, its durability, however, isn't very high. It has two sirens, one default "long-whirl" and with the horn button held down, the "rotating-weep". By getting in the Police Car, the player will receive a [[Shotgun]] with 5 rounds of ammunition. | ||
It is possible to activate the "Black Traffic" [[cheat]] to make the Police Car all black. This causes the car to look somewhat like an unmarked patrol car. | It is possible to activate the "Black Traffic" [[cheat]] to make the Police Car all black.

There are three variations in [[GTA San Andreas]]; the [[Los Santos Police Department]] and [[San Fierro Police Department]] version (Each have the same build, with respective markings from each city). This is a variant of the [[Premier]] (which is based on the [[wp:Chevrolet Caprice#Fourth generation|1994-1996 Chevrolet Caprice]]). The [[Las Venturas Police Department]] version resembles a 1981-1990 Chevrolet Caprice, the sides and back end could also arguably be from 1980-'89 Dodge Diplomats. All variations feature a standard black and white livery. The police officers in the countryside have a large, four-by-four [[Ranger]] as they are required to go off-road. | There are three variations in [[GTA San Andreas]]; the [[Los Santos Police Department]] and [[San Fierro Police Department]] version (Each have the same build, with respective markings from each city).

In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], there are two similar but separate police cars - the [[Police Patrol]] and [[Police Cruiser]]. The player can get in any police car and access the in-car computer while stationary. Here, the player can look at the most wanted lists and then track down criminals.

The siren on the Police Car features some variations, including the classic "code-3 siren" wail, the yelp when the siren is activated and the horn button is held down, and with the siren turned off and the horn button held down, a distorted "crowd control" air horn used in real life, that when used, signals for people to vacate the area. | ||
The player can dial 911 to summon the police car either by requiring assistance, or by luring them into a false alarm. By stealing the cop car (whilst the officer searches for any incidents), a one wanted star level will appear and cops will give chase, and it will be easy to evade them, as long as the player doesn't get chased by cops for an extended period of time. In some places, a cop car can be stolen from a parking lot or curbside without incurring a wanted level; however, there is a slight chance that a cop is asleep in the back seat (he may ask for a donut on awakening). | |||
