If a suspect resists arrest and opens fire, officers are authorized to use lethal force. Neutralizing a high-level criminal in a gunfight sends them straight to jail and awards the officer a hefty bonus. Key Features and Gameplay Mechanics
Cops utilize specialized server tools, such as police radars, dispatch radios, and GPS trackers, to locate criminals with active wanted levels.

However, committing crimes—such as speeding, carrying illegal weapons, grand theft auto, or killing other players—increases their wanted level (usually represented by stars or a numerical score). The higher the wanted level, the higher the cash reward for a police officer who successfully arrests or neutralizes the criminal. 2. Arresting vs. Killing

The skill ceiling is incredibly high; a veteran driver can lose five police cruisers in the tight alleyways of San Fierro using map knowledge alone. Legendary Servers and the Modern Era
