Police Car: Difference between revisions

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]].

==GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories==

The Police Car in these two games resembles a cross between a Chevrolet Caprice and a Ford Crown Victoria. In [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]], the Police Car was originally intended to have a livery similar to the then-current NYPD police cars, however, in the final version, they have standard black and white livery. The Police Cars in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories|GTA Liberty City Stories]] feature the livery intended for GTA III cars, albeit with black-and-white stripes, rather than blue-and-white.

In these two games, the vehicle resembles a 1980's Ford LTD, and both feature a green and white livery, much like the Miami-Dade Police Department (although there vare claims that white police cars can be found after achieving 100% completion of [[Grand Theft Auto:Vice City]]). During development, the vehicle was white with red and blue stripes along each side, resembling squad cars from the Miami Beach Police Department. Reports say that the paint scheme was changed in development to the green and white scheme because of fears that players wouldn't be able to tell the difference between civillian cars and the VCPD cars.

The police officers in the countryside employ a large, four-by-four [[Ranger]], based on the [[Rancher]], for pursuit on rough terrain.

====GTA Advance====

The player can dial 911 to summon the police car by luring them to a false alarm. Stealing the car (while the officer searches for any incidents), will attract a one-star [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|Wanted level]]. In some places, a police car can be stolen from a parking lot or curbside without incurring a Wanted level.
