Police Car: Difference between revisions

Throughout all GTA III era games, the police cars are very fast with excellent handling, its durability, however, isn't very high. It has two sirens, one default "long-whirl" and one 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. For all games that fall under this category, the police car has always been known as the "'''Police'''", with the exception of GTA Advance and GTA Vice City Stories. In GTA Advance it is reffered as "'''Police Car'''". In GTA Vice City Stories it is called the "'''VCPD Cruiser'''", in relation to the [[FBI Cruiser]] in GTA Liberty City Stories (which is in turn features a body based on the Police or Taxi).

 

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.

The Police Car in these two games resembles a cross between a Chevrolet Caprice and a Ford Crown Victoria. In [[GTA III]] the Police Car was originally supposed to have a livery similar to the then-current NYPD police cars, however, in the final version, they have a standard black and white livery. The Police Cars in [[GTA Liberty City Stories]] feature the livery that was intended to be on the GTA III cars, but instead of blue with white stripes, they are black with white stripes.

In these two games the vehicle resembles a 1980's Ford LTD, and they both feature a green and white livery - as opposed to the beta versions, which were white with red and blue stripes along each side, which resembles early squad cars from the Miami-Dade Police Department.

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]], base of the [[Rancher]], to fit in with the countryside theme, and also as there is more opurtinuitie's for chases and duties to go off the road than in the cities.
