GTA 6 Police Cars
GTA 6 police cars appear all through Rockstar's official screenshots, from a patrol car chasing Jason's motorbike to several more with sirens on at a Gruppe Sechs truck robbery, yet Rockstar has not named a single police car model or police agency as of November 8, 2026.1
GamesRadar has spotted the Vapid Stanier LE Police Cruiser, the Bravado Buffalo Police Cruiser and other cop cars in the GTA 6 trailers, but none of those names comes from Rockstar.2

GTA 6 police cars in Rockstar's screenshots
GTA 6 police cars in Rockstar's screenshots turn up in chases, standoffs and robberies, and the image descriptions on Rockstar's Launch Gallery spell out each scene.1 The gallery, posted on November 5, 2026, shows:
- Several patrol cars with sirens on at the robbery of a Gruppe Sechs security truck.
- Jason on a motorbike, with a patrol car and multiple helicopters chasing him.
- Jason refueling at a gas station as two cops come up behind him with guns drawn, under a searchlight helicopter.
- Police boats, cars and a helicopter surrounding a yacht.
- Lucia standing near a cop and a patrol car.
Rockstar's region pages add two more scenes. In Grassrivers, a helicopter and two police cars chase a pickup through an alligator swamp.3 On the Vice City page, police are shown handcuffing two women.5
GTA 6 police car models outlets have identified

Trailer 1 came out on December 5, 2023.6 Trailer 2 followed on May 6, 2025.7 More vehicles are on the main GTA 6 cars list.

GTA 6 police agencies and the Vice Beach Police
GTA 6 police agencies have not been named by Rockstar: its screenshot descriptions mention patrol cars, cops and police boats without saying which department they belong to.1
GamesRadar's Extended Look write-up names one force, the "Vice Beach Police," whose Bravado Buffalo loses track of Jason and Lucia at the end of a chase.2 Rockstar has not used that name on its own pages.
Agency names on fan wikis are guesses that contradict each other, and Rockstar has confirmed none of them, so this page leaves them out. The one service Rockstar does mention is the Coast Guard, whose radio chatter Cal Hampton, Jason's friend, likes to listen in on.3
GTA 6 police chases and the wanted level
GTA 6 police chases in the Extended Look came with a wanted level on screen, which Game Informer says reached four stars during one chase.8 The same account has police cars and helicopters chasing the pair, with cop cars flipping and crashing when Jason shoots at them.8
Game Informer adds that the pair lose the heat by switching vehicles and torching the first car.8 GamesRadar noted that a wanted meter still seems partly active while they slip away incognito.9
VGC reports that the area where police are searching shows up as a circle on the map, and that swapping masks, hats and other clothes before a crime lowers your wanted level.10 In one getaway, Lucia picks up Raul Bautista and the drive turns into a police chase.2
GTA 5 had a phone cheat that lowered your wanted level.11 Whether GTA 6 has any cheats is covered on the GTA 6 cheats page.
