In [[Grand Theft Auto 1]], the police car is known as the "'''Squad Car'''". Three variants of the car exist, each appearing in one of the game's three cities. In [[Liberty City in GTA 1|Liberty City]], the Squad Car is rounded vehicle with blue-white livery, appearing similar to a 1990s Chevrolet Caprice, with a 1990s NYPD livery; the [[San Andreas in GTA 1|San Andreas]]/[[Vice City in GTA 1|Vice City]] variants are actually adaptations of the [[Portsmouth]], with the San Andreas version bearing a black-and-white body color design (like its real-life San Francisco counterpart) and similar angular body design , and the Vice City rendition being colored blue and white but features a modified body that appears wider and rounded. In the [[Personal Computer|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.

The performance of GTA 1 Squad Cars are identical in all three cities, and are all essentially the best in the game, with the highest top speed and acceleration among all cars in the game, highly responsive brakes and good grip. While the cars are given a very high export value of $2,000, but the cars cannot be exported, as are other emergency vehicles.

Police cars in [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969|GTA London 1969]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1961|GTA London 1961]] are known as "'''[[Copper]]s'''". Police car in GTA London 1969 resembles to a Ford Cortina MK2 used by the British police at the time and a police car in GTA London 1961 resembles to a Jaguar Mark 2 also used by the British police
Police cars in [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969|GTA London 1969]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1961|GTA London 1961]] are known as "'''[[Copper]]s'''".<!--Avoid redundant information; refer to Copper article for further information about the car-->


In [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], the police car is known as the "'''Cop Car'''" and assumes a completely original design, looking like a retro-futuristic squad car with 1940s design cues. Like in GTA 1, it is the fastest car in the game, along with the [[Meteor]], and features responsive cornering and brakes, making it a desirable vehicle to drive. It is also the only car in the game which gives a [[Police Bribes|Cop Bribe]] when [[Crusher|crushed]].
