In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the Police Maverick is in turn based on a redone Maverick, and as a result, features a rear slid-doors and a four-blade main rotor. In place of an "invisible" machine gun under the fuselage are two officers seated on both sides of the helicopter, programmed to shoot the player with [[M16|M4A1]]s; its ability to deploy tactical response units has also been dropped in the game. In [[The Ballad Of Gay Tony]], the officers are armed with [[M249|Advanced MG]]s (M249 SAWs) instead. The Police Maverick is slightly faster than a regular Maverick and can turn faster, thus giving it more maneuverability.

The police helicopter that appears in the trailer for [[Grand Theft Auto V]] shares the body of GTA IV's Police Maverick, but with a different paint job to match the [[Los Santos Police Department in GTA V Era|LSPD]] livery. However, a new screenshot implies that the helicopter has been re-designed to match a [[wp:Eurocopter AS350|Eurocopter AS350]], which are more common than Bell 206 helicopters in the Los Angeles Police Department. This may mean that the Maverick is no longer used by police force and that this is a new helicopter, and not a Maverick.

Following the release of the first pre-release GTA V screenshots, it is currently unknown if the Maverick-based model is slated to exist alongside [[:Image:GTAVLSPDHeli.jpg|a new police helicopter]] resembling a [[wp:Eurocopter AS350|Eurocopter AS350]], which are more common than Bell 206 helicopters in the Los Angeles Police Department, or has been replaced by said helicopter.
