TheEnforcer is a law enforcement vehicle featured inGrand Theft Auto III,Grand Theft Auto: Vice City,Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas,Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories andGrand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
Design[]
In all of its appearances, the Enforcer is depicted as a large armored transport van used by the law enforcement (specifically, elite paramilitary tactical units). The Enforcer is an excellent choice, as its heavy weight makes it suitable for ramming power and also serves as aroadblock vehicle when needed. One of the noticeable features is that the player will gainBody Armor upon entry of the vehicle.
BetweenGrand Theft Auto III andGrand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the Enforcer is designed as a truck-based, long chassis emergency response vehicle, apparently based on a 1980s-1990s NYPD Freightliner "E33" Emergency Service Unit truck[1][2], similar in body construction, livery design and minor details and also on the Ford L-Series; differences were negligible between games.
The Enforcer usually bears "POLICE" markings, except forGrand Theft Auto: Vice City andGrand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, where it has "SWAT" markings (as some forces ceased to officially use the term SWAT over time, this may be seen as a nod to historical accuracy). Police liveries of the Enforcer depend largely on those found on localPolice cars, although forGrand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the game's Enforcer features a black-and-white livery, contrary to theVCPD Cruiser's green-and-white livery. Much like the "Police" car, the Enforcer inGrand Theft Auto III is revealed in a pre-release screenshot to originally feature a blue-and-white livery; it can be assumed that the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City may have prompted the same recoloring that gave the vehicle its present black-and-white color.
As with all emergency/police vehicles, the Enforcer is equipped with sirens and lights which will cause other traffic to move out of the way when active. Although supposedly heavily armored, the truck is not bulletproof, although it is relatively resilient. It has seating for up to four people, including the driver.
Performance[]
The overall performance of the Enforcer is average-to-good. While large and heavy, the powerful engine of the Enforcer allows it to accelerate well and reach high top speeds, while its cornering can be properly negotiated via the use of the handbrake. Its low clearance, small wheels and heavy weight, however, make it unsuited on rough terrain, where it may roll easily.
