So You Wanna Be a Cop (But Not Really): A Totally Unofficial Guide to Snagging a Police Cruiser in GTA 5 Story Mode
Let's face it, there's a certain undeniable allure to cruising the streets of Los Santos with sirens wailing and the flashing lights reflecting off your shades. You might not be handing out speeding tickets (unless you're really good at in-game roleplay), but there's something inherently satisfying about rolling up in a police car.
The only problem? Stealing one is a surefire way to earn yourself a starring role in a five-star police chase – not exactly ideal for a casual Sunday drive. But fear not, aspiring undercover agents and enthusiasts of vehicular justice, because there's a perfectly legitimate (well, mostly legitimate) way to snag yourself a police cruiser.

Forget the Sticky Fingers, Enter the Planning Room
Here's the thing: rocking a sweet police car in GTA 5 Story Mode is a reward for your criminal...er, heist-planning...talents. You'll need to unlock it through Lester's delightful little criminal enterprise.
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.
Step 1: Acquisition by Acquisition (of a Salvage Yard)
This little adventure requires a salvage yard. Head over to Maze Bank Foreclosures on your phone's internet browser – because who doesn't buy industrial property while scrolling through Instagram these days? Snag yourself a yard, any yard, and this opens the door to Lester's criminal mastermind lair...er, I mean, the planning room.
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
Suit Up, It's Heist Time (But Not Really Heist Time)
Alright, so you've got your grimy new property. Now for the fun part (sort of). Head inside and cozy up to Lester's planning computer. This isn't about some grand bank job – we're after something much more specific: a fancy Italian sports car. Select the Grotti Turismo Omaggio as your target vehicle.

Why the Italian Stallion and Not the Police Cruiser?
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
Patience, my friend! This seemingly unrelated mission, "Scope Out Mission Row Police Station," is the key. Completing this mission unlocks the real prize – the police car – on the Warstock Cache & Carry website.
From Planning Room to Showroom: Buying Your Badge (Without the Training)
Now that you've done your recon (of a completely different location, but hey, details), head over to Warstock Cache & Carry on your phone. There, in all its glory, should be the police cruiser. This beauty isn't free, but hey, compared to the alternative (five-star chases!), it's a steal.
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
Now go forth and patrol the streets of Los Santos (unofficially, of course)! Just remember, with great police car comes great responsibility...to not get into trouble with the actual police.
