Police Cars in GTA Online Explained
In the GTA franchise, committing a crime gets you Wanted Level stars. Law enforcement will pursue you with special vehicles that are inaccessible by other means.
GTA San Andreas lets you start vigilante missions. However, you can’t do the same in GTA Online.
Police Cars are expensive and are only sought after for roleplaying and other fun activities.
New Police Cars & How to Unlock
There are three new vehicles you can unlock:
- Unmarked Cruiser
- Stanier LE Cruiser
- Police Riot
All vehicles have trade prices, allowing you to purchase each vehicle for a discount — if you meet certain conditions.
Unmarked Cruiser
| Class | Emergency |
| Body Style | Sedan |
| Capacity | Four GTA Online protagonists |
The Unmarked Cruiser is available at Warstock Cache & Carry:
- $3,950,000 (FULL PRICE)
- $2,962,000 (DISCOUNTED $988,000)
Both offers are locked.
To unlock the cheaper offer, finish the Gangbanger Robbery in the Salvage Yard.
Otherwise, acquire three Wanted Level stars by any means. Survive for five minutes before calling Lester to take care of the cops.
Since you’re not in a Salvage Yard Robbery, you can use the “lose cops” ability. We highly recommend using Armored Kuruma or Duke O’ Death to avoid getting shot. A successful run will unlock the full price.
Stanier LE Cruiser
| Class | Emergency |
| Body Style | Sedan |
| Capacity | Four GTA Online protagonists |
The Stanier LE Cruiser is available at Warstock Cache & Carry:
- $4,690,000 (FULL PRICE)
- $3,517,500 (DISCOUNTED $1,172,500)
Both offers are locked.
To unlock the cheaper offer, find and collect one piece of evidence from a Crime Scene (random event).
Otherwise, initiate the Gangbanger Robbery in your Salvage Yard. Complete the mission “Scope Out: Mission Row Police Station” by sending the following photos to Jamal:
- Police Maverick
- Air Vents
- Rear Exit
Police Riot
| Class | Emergency |
| Body Style | Armored Van |
| Capacity | Eight GTA Online protagonists |
The Police Riot is available at Warstock Cache & Carry:
- $4,800,000 (FULL PRICE)
- $3,600,000 (DISCOUNTED $1,200,000)
Both offers are locked.
To unlock the cheaper offer, initiate the Gangbanger Robbery in GTA Online. You must select “Planning Work: Tactical Gear” and complete it. The mentioned task is necessary for incapacitating officers inside the Mission Row Police Station. We recommend bringing a lot of Snacks and Armor to the session.
Obtaining the full price option for this Police Car is simple. Just lose four Wanted Level stars without calling Lester or using a “CEO Ability”. Spoiler: Go to a nearby tunnel!
Price-wise, the Police Riot is justified. When acquiring four Wanted Level stars, the military usually hangs on the side of the armored van, making roleplays more interesting! Of course, you’ll need friends to play with.
