Washington Beach Police Department



The Washington Beach Police Station is a Vice City Police Department station in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It is one of four police stations in Vice City and one of two located in Vice City Beach (the other being in Vice Point).

Description
Located in Washington Beach, the police station serves as the respawn point for players who are arrested within the south half of Vice City Beach, being situated in a modern structure fronting delta-shaped plaza, with its parking facilities located at the back.

In GTA Vice City, the station boasts a set of interiors which can be accessed from the front at any point of the game; the interior consists of a lobby area, a front office, a locker and a shower room, prison cells, and the main office space. However, players who step beyond the boundaries of lobby into other parts of the interior will immediately attain a two-star wanted level and the wraft of the police. Acquiring and wearing a police uniform, available only after completing "Cop Land", allows the player to venture into the inner interiors without alerting the police (so long as the player is not already wanted); however, any act of hostility (inflicting injury on or killing a cop, revving a chainsaw, firing a weapon or simply wrecking havok) will immediately negate the effects of the disguise and will be followed by the player attaining a two-star wanted level. The station is inaccessible in GTA Vice City Stories.

Pickups the player can find in and around the station include a Nightstick in the locker room (GTA Vice City), Grenades at the rear car park (or Tear Gas in the PlayStation 2 version) (GTA Vice City), the aforementioned police uniform in the locker room (GTA Vice City), and a Hidden Package in the main offices (GTA Vice City). The police station also spawns several vehicles in both GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories. For GTA Vice City, two "Police" cars will spawn in the car park behind; in GTA Vice City Stories, a VCPD Cruiser and a VCPD Wintergreen appear in the same area instead.
