The Complete Guide to FiveM Police Car Selection
Choosing police vehicles for your FiveM server is critical. Poor selection damages immersion and player experience. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know.
1. Authenticity: The Foundation
Start with historically accurate vehicles. Real police departments use specific models that players recognize:
- LSPD (Los Santos Police): Dodge Charger, Police Interceptor Utility
- Sheriff: Ford Police Responder, Chevrolet Tahoe
- Highway Patrol: Dodge Charger Pursuit, Ford Interceptor
LA Cars offers department-specific packs with authentic vehicles for each role, ensuring immersion and roleplay authenticity.
2. Server Performance Considerations
Each vehicle mod impacts server performance. High-poly models mean more CPU load. LA Cars optimizes all vehicles for minimal performance impact, even on 1000+ player servers like Corleone City.
Key performance metrics:
- Polygon count: 50,000-150,000 (optimized range)
- Texture quality: 4K while maintaining performance
- Server load: Less than 1% per vehicle
3. Visual Consistency & Lore-Friendly Design
All police vehicles should match GTA V's art style. Mismatched vehicles break immersion instantly. LA Cars vehicles are designed to seamlessly fit into Los Santos with realistic proportions and authentic paint jobs.
4. Livery & Customization Options
Professional police vehicle mods should support:
- Multiple department liveries (LSPD, Sheriff, Highway Patrol)
- Color customization through server systems
- Equipment variations (lights, sirens, bumpers)
5. Implementation & Support
Installation should be straightforward. All LA Cars mods include:
- Step-by-step installation guide
- Server configuration examples
- Support team assistance via Discord
Recommended Police Vehicle Packs by Server Size

Medium Servers (200-500 players): Multi-Department Pack with 75 vehicles across all departments
Large Servers (500+ players): Premium Complete Pack with 150+ vehicles covering all departments and specialized units
Conclusion
Quality police vehicles enhance immersion, support roleplay, and attract serious players to your FiveM server. LA Cars provides lore-friendly, realistic police vehicles trusted by servers like Corleone City and Storytime. Start with authentic department packs for maximum impact.
