siren Wranglin' Rides: How to snag a squad car in GTA 5 Story Mode
Ah, the allure of the siren song. Ever wished you could trade in the sticky fingers for a badge and a nightstick? Well, becoming a cop in GTA 5 isn't exactly an option (unless you count dodging them for hours on end). But there is a way to satisfy your inner officer and roll around Los Santos in the ultimate law enforcement vehicle. That's right, we're talking about snagging a sweet cop car!

| How To Get A Cop Car In GTA 5 Story Mode |
The Not-So-Honest Way (But We Won't Judge)
Let's be real, the cleanest way to get a cop car isn't exactly on the up and up. Stealing one is an option, sure, but it comes with a hefty side of wanted stars. You'll be out-running patrol cars before you can say "donut."
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
However, there's a way to snag a police cruiser and ditch the heat. Here's the plan:
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.
-
Become a Gearhead Guru: This method involves a character named Barry (not the disco kind) and his "special deliveries." Complete his "Grassroots" mission. You'll be tasked with picking up a mysterious package in a beat-up truck.
-
Park It Like It's Hot (Literally): Follow the shady dude to the drop-off point. But here's the twist: ditch the truck! There, tucked away like a secret Santa gift, will be a sweet, unmarked police car.
-
Lose the Fuzz, Keep the Ride: Hop in the car and get ready for a police chase (shocking, right?). Just ditch the fuzz and voila! You've got yourself a cop car with a built-in "get out of jail free" card (well, sort of).
Warning: This method can be glitchy, so you might have to replay the mission a few times. But hey, persistence is key, especially when it comes to outrunning the law (well, not literally this time).
Tip: Read at your natural pace.

The Honest (but More Complicated) Officer
If your moral compass is pointing due north, there's a more legitimate (but way more complicated) way to snag a cop car. This option involves a salvage yard and a healthy dose of heist planning. Here's the lowdown:
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
-
Become a Real Estate Tycoon (of the Junkyard Variety): Invest in a salvage yard. This opens the door to some criminal masterminding, but hey, we're going legit-ish here!
-
Plan Your Heist (But Not Like a Bank Job): Use the fancy computer in your junkyard to scope out heist targets. You're not after gold or diamonds, though. You want to hit the Mission Row Police Station.
-
Intel is Key: Complete the "Scope Out Mission Row Police Station" mission. This unlocks the purchase of a real, marked police car on the Warstock Cache & Carry website.
Now, here's the catch: This police car won't have all the bells and whistles (like a siren). But it is a legit way to patrol the streets (or just outrun the occasional bounty hunter).
So, there you have it! Two choices for acquiring the ultimate law enforcement vehicle. Remember, with great power (and a siren), comes great responsibility (and probably a few explosions). Now get out there and uphold the law (or break it, we won't tell)!
