The '''National Office Of Security Enforcement (NOOSE)''' is an high-end law enforcement organization in the [[HD Universe]]. In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], it fulfills the roles of both the [[Military]] and [[SWAT]] units seen in [[GTA III Era|previous GTA games]]. In [[Grand Theft Auto V]], although the Military has a presence in the game, they do not actively engage the player during a [[Wanted Level in GTA V|wanted level]] unless the player is within the perimeter of [[Fort Zancudo]], leaving NOOSE as the highest level threat in normal situations. | |||

===GTA IV and EFLC=== | |||
NOOSE is called upon to assist the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|police]] when the player has a [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted level]] of at least 4 stars, before the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation#Grand Theft Auto IV|FIB]]. Patriotism and Immigration Authority officers are largely similar to the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]]'s in behavior, weapons, appearance and mannerisms. Tactical Response officers, however, are designed to appear as fully equipped tactical squad units, with heavy armor and weaponry. | NOOSE is called upon to assist the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|police]] when the player has a [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted level]] of at least 4 stars, before the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation#Grand Theft Auto IV|FIB]].

===GTA V=== | |||
NOOSE officers start to appear at wanted levels of 3 stars as air support in [[Police Maverick]]s. Police helicopters have two sharpshooters on board armed with Carbine Rifles, and shoot at the player and their getaway vehicle. At 4 stars, NOOSE officers start to assist the [[LSPD in GTA V|LSPD]], Los Santos County, and Blaine County Sheriff's Departments on the ground. NOOSE comes 3 to a vehicle either in [[FIB SUV]]s if the player is within the [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]] city limits or [[Sheriff SUV]]s if the player is in the remote areas of [[San Andreas in GTA V|San Andreas]]. Additionally, 4 NOOSE officers can rappel from Police Mavericks to engage the player on the ground at 4 stars and above. | |||

NOOSE are typically armed with [[Carbine Rifle]]s, [[Pump Action Shotgun]]s and [[SMG]]s. In [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], some NOOSE units are also armed with [[Assault SMG]]s and [[Automatic Shotgun]]s. This weapon combination is very deadly; Carbine Rifles to take the player out at long range, Shotguns for short range and SMGs for medium range. If NOOSE agents have their weapons shot out of their hands, then they will pull out [[Pistol]]s and continue to engage the player. NOOSE units are protected with [[Body Armor]] nearly doubling their endurance. In [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], NOOSE agents are equipped with [[Micro SMG]]s. In helicopters NOOSE units will fire on the player with Carbine Rifles. In The Ballad of Gay Tony however, they will use the [[Advanced MG]] instead. In The Ballad of Gay Tony missions [[Corner Kids]] and [[Not So Fast]], they are also known to use [[Rocket Launcher]]s. | NOOSE are typically armed with [[M16|Carbine Rifle]]s, [[Pump Action Shotgun]]s and [[MP5|SMG]]s.
