What is with all this rambling about a missing siren/light bar config? It's not even a cut feature.

In Grand Theft Auto IV, there are two similar but separate police cars - the [[Police Patrol]] and [[Police Cruiser]]. Two more police cars, a [[Police Buffalo|Buffalo-based Police Cruiser]] and a high-performance [[Police Stinger]], are available in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]'s multiplayer.

The player can get in any police car and access the [[police computer]] while stationary. Here, the player can access [[Most Wanted]] missions, or locate and apprehend nearby criminals. The siren on the Police Car features some variations, including the classic "code-3 siren" wail, the yelp when the siren is activated and the horn button held down, and, if the siren is turned off and the horn button held down, a distorted "crowd control" air horn, as used in real life. One missing siren variation is the ''code-2 siren'' which is just lights but no siren. Officers in real life use it to pull over people and respond to domestic calls. In the game you can see officers use it , like when they are chasing you in you vehicle and when they talk to you in the mic you hear the siren turn off with just lights on, but when crusing, police sometimes honk regular horn rather than air horn that is never used by any other vehicles, and cannot be heard when you driving it. In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] you can do it by rapidly turning it on and of until just the lights are on as if you where not in the police car with the lights on.

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.
