The Global Police (Globalpol) is an international law enforcement agency mentioned in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Overview[]
Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]
Not much is known about the workings of Globalpol other than their existence. The organization is mentioned during a Weazel News broadcast on the radio and seems to have some connection with the Los Santos Police Department.
After the mission Complications, an Internet article mentions that Globalpol shared intel that high-profile members from a number of Chinese criminal organizations (most notably the Wei Cheng Triad) have entered the U.S. illegally in recent months to infiltrate the North American drug market.
After the mission Three's Company, another Internet article mentions that Globalpol is going to help in the fight against drug trafficking on the East Coast, by taking the drugs from the cities and putting them back in the interior.
In the mission Legal Trouble, a Weazel News headline claims that the car chase between Michael De Santa and Molly Schultz was a result of a Globalpol sting. This is likely a developer oversight, being left over from when the mission was originally supposed to be about Trevor Philips chasing Tao Cheng's translator due to the latter wearing a wire, according to the game's files.[1]
Events of Grand Theft Auto Online[]
As of 2020, during the events of GTA Online: The Cayo Perico Heist, Juan Strickler mentions that he can't leave his private island because he is under surveillance by Globalpol.
Trivia[]
- Globalpol is possibly based on the real-life international organization Interpol, which aims to facilitate cooperation among states in matters concerning law enforcement.
- If the player doesn't pull out Mr. K's tooth in By the Book, he asks Trevor if he works for Globalpol. Trevor will mishear him due to Mr. K's slurred speech and thinks he says "Globopoo", which he mocks him for.
- An LSPD officer, internally known as 's_m_y_cop_01_black_mini_03,' will at times refer to themselves as a Globalpol agent.[2] This NPC even has unique lines for certain missions, such as Legal Trouble, where they describe themselves as part of a 'Globalpol taskforce'.[3]
