The Albany Police Roadcruiser is a law enforcement vehicle which appears in Grand Theft Auto V.
Design[]
Police siren set.
The Police Roadcruiser is a police variant of the Esperanto, used by the North Yankton State Patrol. The vehicle shares the same design and features as the regular version, but features blacked-out trim, and is covered in snow in the upper surfaces, bumpers and windows. The Albany logo in the center of the trunk has been removed to make room for police markings.
The car features an all-white color with gold and blue stripes down the side, "STATE PATROL" on the fenders and trunk, and the police emblem emblazoned on the front doors. "Trooper of the year 1951" markings can be seen on the rear portions.
The vehicle sports a unique light bar bearing four emergency lights, spot lights mounted on the A-pillars and two antennas on the roof. It also features chains on its tires for better grip on snowy and icy streets, although they are purely cosmetic.

Prominent Appearances in Gameplay[]
- It appears in the Prologue, during which the NYSP respond to the Ludendorff bank heist. Several Roadcruisers appear during the mission.
Notable Owners[]
- The North Yankton State Patrol maintained a fleet of Police Roadcruisers in 2004, along with the Police Rancher.
Trivia[]
- Crashing into walls will detach the lightbar located on the roof. This also happens with the Police Rancher.
- The car is internally defined as a sports car in the handling data. Therefore, if driving around town in it, pedestrians will comment on it positively, even though it is just a police car.
- The car features the unit number 86 on the roof, but it is not visible in game as it is permanently obscured by snow. The number can be seen on the texture for the police livery.
- In the enhanced version, there is a chance that a smartphone holder will spawn in the interior of the car. This is an anachronism, as modern smartphones did not exist in 2004. This is most likely a developer oversight.
Oversights[]
- The white lights on the police lightbar flash blue.
- The normals of the white light bar glass are inverted, causing the glass to appear inside-out.
- While the grille badges of the standard Esperanto are present on the model, they do not appear in game due to incorrect alpha channel vertex paint.
- In the enhanced version, the NYSP seal is mirrored on the right side of the vehicle.
