About this vehicle

The Vapid Police Cruiser, often called the Interceptor, is a four-door full-size Emergency sedan with room for four. It wears the Los Santos Police Department's black-and-white finish, large side "POLICE" markings, a roof unit number and a red-and-blue LED light bar. An A-pillar spotlight works with the high beams, although impacts can tear it away. Its cabin has radio equipment, weapon mounts and a steel mesh divider between the front and rear seats.

Its shape is chiefly based on the Ford Police Interceptor Sedan, while its lighting and siren placement draw from another police sedan design. The headlamp housings and side decals take cues from a concept vehicle, and the taillamps resemble those of another model. Its profile and rear pillar also borrow elements from the 2008-2014 Acura TSX and 2006-2012 Ford Fusion. Black wheels with chrome centre caps are shared with the FIB Buffalo.

The Police Cruiser is LSPD's main pursuit car. It patrols Los Santos, appears around Mission Row and Legion Square, and is stationed at police facilities across the city, including Mission Row Police Station and Bolingbroke Penitentiary. It commonly responds during wanted levels, pursues criminals and can arrive after a 911 police call. In GTA Online it also appears around Los Santos International Airport. Its rear-wheel-drive four-cylinder and five-speed transmission give it strong sedan acceleration, braking and handling, but it damages and deforms readily, particularly around the front wheels.

Trivia

  • ◆Killing the driver of the Police Cruiser will cause a normal car horn to blare, instead of the usual police horn. This appears to be the case with all police vehicles.
  • ◆Prior to the Heists update, the player could change the "livery" of the Police Cruiser in the Content Creator. The only visible changes were the roof numbers. After the update, this feature was removed. The default number is always 32.
  • ◆In the original PS3/Xbox 360 version of the game, the on-board computer inside the Police Cruiser features the LCPD database screen.
  • ◆The Police Cruiser features unused customization options, including several hood, front and rear bumper, skirts and pushbar options. As most police vehicles cannot be modified at Los Santos Customs or other mod shops, they cannot be normally obtained.
