The main role of the Police in-game is to make crime difficult for the player - and to provide a brooding reliable enemy and a challenge both in and out of missions.
The police are present in all Grand Theft Auto games. They ensure public and social order, through the legitimized and restricted use of force. The police (also referred to as cops ), pigs, popo by African-Americans, chota by Hispanics, babylon by Jamaicans, C.R.A.S.H., cherry tops, Five-O, fuzz, one time, flatfeet, or heat) are uniformed officers responsible for enforcing the law.
