Appearance[]
Patrol vehicles and lightly armed police officers can be found patrolling the streets of New Orleans at all times. These officers carry with them only a sidearm and are not particularly deadly. They will only engage the player if they witness him committing an illegal act such as shooting a civilian, shooting a vehicle, beating up a civilian, beating up another police officer, killing another police officer, or running over a pedestrian. The officers will only attempt to use deadly force if the player kills an NPC.
If the player resist arrest, officers will call in backup. The reserve cops drive heavily armored SUVs and carry automatic weapons. Police pursuit vehicles and SWAT teams will join in if the hunt goes long enough. If the player continue causing mayhem during the course of the hunt, the New Orleans Army will be called in, which uses 5 stars gun to attack the player. Note: the 5 star gun has a very high damage and deadly if you go too close.
