A LCPD Police Patrol in GTA IV (Rear quarter view).
The Police Patrol is a Merit modified for police service in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.
Description
The Police Patrol is modeled after the eighth generation Chevrolet Impala Police Edition. It can be found on the streets of Liberty City along with the Police Cruiser. The vehicle is manufactured by Declasse.
The Patrol is generally used as a patrol vehicle rather than a pursuit vehicle, due to it being slower and heavier than the Police Cruiser, despite its appearance. (the acceleration is about the same). Like the Cruiser, the Patrol's livery is clearly based on that of the New York Police Department's vehicles.
In GTA Chinatown Wars, the Patrol bears LAPD-style markings, rather than the NYPD style, making the car more immediately recognizable as a police car via the DS interface. Despite the Police Patrol being the only ingame police car Chinatown Wars, Police Cruisers are seen in the cutscenes.
Use in side-missions
When the player is stationary in any police vehicle they can access the Police Computer (this is done by pressing the L1 button (PlayStation 3), the LB button (Xbox 360), or the E key (PC)), which lets Niko search for the most wanted criminals, see what the most recent crimes are, search the police records and even call for backup. This is where the player can start the Vigilante style side missions and the Most Wanted side missions.
Trivia
Although distinct from the Police Cruiser, the Patrol has "Police Cruiser" badging.
