Lights, Sirens, and Unfulfilled Dreams of Power: Acquiring a Cop Car in GTA Online
Ah, the siren song of the fuzz. Ever dreamt of cruising the streets of Los Santos with the boys in blue (or black, depending on your taste in squad cars)? Well, ditch the polyester and fake mustache, because in GTA Online, you can snag your very own police car and become the ultimate impersonator... mostly.
There's just one teensy snag: Owning a cop car isn't exactly a walk in the park. No donut shops or endless coffee breaks involved (although, you can still hit up those 24/7 stores). But fear not, aspiring officer – this guide will have you outrunning the law (to buy a car that lets you pretend to be them).

| How To Get A Cop Car In GTA V Online |
Step 1: Become a Real Estate Mogul (of Sorts)
Forget mansions and beachfront property. In this crazy world, what you need is a Salvage Yard. Yes, you read that right. Turns out, owning a slightly dodgy junkyard is the first step to becoming a pseudo-cop. Head over to Maze Bank Foreclosures (don't worry, it's all perfectly legal...??? (tabun, probably) and snag yourself one of these beauties.
QuickTip: Skim the ending to preview key takeaways.
Step 2: Embrace Your Inner Interior Decorator (with a Criminal Twist)
Alright, so you've got your junkyard. Now you gotta spruce it up a bit. Head inside and find the Planning Computer. This isn't for designing dream kitchens, though. This bad boy lets you orchestrate elaborate vehicle robberies – the perfect cover story for acquiring your police cruiser (wink wink).
Step 3: The Gang's All Here (Except They're Not Really a Gang)
Alright, time to pick a heist. You're not after jewels or gold here. Look for the mission called The Gangbanger Robbery. Don't let the name fool you – you're basically a glorified car scout. But hey, gotta start somewhere, right?
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
Step 4: Operation: "Sneak Peek – Mission Row Police Station"
Now for the fun part (sort of). This heist has a setup mission where you need to scope out the Mission Row Police Station. Grab your camera (because apparently criminals are huge tourists now) and snap some pics of the station's back entrance. Don't worry about fancy disguises, though. Just make sure you don't get caught by actual cops while you're playing pretend cop.

Step 5: From Rusty Bucket to Mean Machine (Almost)
Congratulations! You've successfully scouted the police station, which unlocks the ability to purchase a police car. Head over to the Warstock Cache & Carry website on your phone (because who uses a physical store these days?) and browse their "finest" selection of law enforcement vehicles.
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
But wait, there's more! You can't just buy it outright. You need to have enough GTA bucks saved up, and you'll probably need to complete some additional challenges to get the real police discount (because, you know, gotta prove you're not gonna misuse the sirens).
So You're Basically a Cop Now, Right?
Well, not exactly. Owning a cop car in GTA Online is more like cosplaying a police officer than actually being one. You can't bust criminals (unless you use your, ahem, not-so-official driving skills), and the sirens are more for scaring pigeons than pulling people over.
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.
But hey, at least you'll look the part while you cruise the streets causing glorious mayhem. Just remember, with great cop car comes great responsibility... to not get chased by the real police for impersonating them. Happy patrolling!
