In GTA Vice City, the station 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. The station is inaccessible in GTA Vice City Stories.
