Cop Land

Cop Land is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City which protagonist Tommy Vercetti performs independently. The mission is triggered from the Vercetti Estate on Starfish Island.

Mission
At the Vercetti Estate, Mike and Lance are arguing about a failed bomb detonation at the Tarbrush Café in the North Point Mall. Tommy arrives and Lance explains the situation. Lance wants to abandon the detonation as the police are now surrounding the area but Tommy decides they can detonate the bomb themselves by posing as police officers to get to the mall.

Over at Vice Point, Tommy and Lance ambush two officers and steal their uniforms. The duo head to the mall, where Tommy walks past the police and military presence at the café. Tommy detonates the bomb and the café blows up. This explosion alerts the FBI (thus causing a 5-star wanted level) but Tommy manages to evade them and heads back to the Vercetti Estate with Lance.

Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
 * Get a wanted level so the cops will follow you into the lock-up.
 * Get two cops to follow you into the garage.
 * Take a cop car and go and plant the bomb at the Tarbush Coffee Shop in the Mall.
 * Get back to Vercetti Estate on Starfish Island.

Reward
The reward for completing this mission is $10,000 and the mission Cap the Collector is unlocked provided the asset missions for at least five other properties are completed with the Print Works being mandatory. This mission completes the asset strand for the Vercetti Estate, which will now generate a revenue of up to $5,000. The player can also obtain the Cop Outfit from the Washington Beach Police Station.

Glitch

 * If the player completes Two Bit Hit before this mission, the Havana Outfit will be put behind an invisible wall and will become unobtainable. To avoid this, Cop Land, No Escape? and The Job missions should be completed before Two Bit Hit. This was patched on the Mac version and the mobile ports of the game.

Trivia

 * Lance carrying a Stubby Shotgun is a reference to . Lance's voice actor, Philip Michael Thomas, occasionally carries the same model shotgun.
 * This was intentionally referenced by the developers as the gun's textures are labeled as "gun_shotgun_tubbs" in the game files.
 * No matter what clothes Tommy is wearing when the mission is triggered, he will be wearing the Street Outfit in the initial cutscene.
 * If Lance is still inside the coffee store when it explodes, he will safely respawn next to Tommy when gameplay resumes.
 * The name of the mission is likely a nod towards the 1997 film, , which starred Ray Liotta, the actor who voiced Tommy Vercetti.
 * If the player enters the mall before trapping two cops in the Loading Bay garage and getting the Cop Outfit, they will receive a five star wanted level and the two soldiers will start shooting at Tommy.
 * Mike's lips do not move during the opening cutscene.
 * While Mike is seen following Tommy and Lance at the end of the cutscene, he does not appear in the mission.
