However, doing so will immediately give the player a 3-star wanted level. In GTA San Andreas, on random occasions (usually around 21:00 in-game time), a Police Maverick will spawn and will hover above the ganglands of Los Santos or San Fierro with its searchlight on. The slid-door variant is not normally available to the player, but it is possible to spawn a slid-door VCPD Maverick in GTA Vice City Stories through a CheatDevice. In GTA Vice City Stories, the slide-door variant retains GTA Vice City's green and white livery while the swing-door variant is only available in a olive/gold and white livery. Airborne Police Mavericks operated by the police feature its back doors slide back, but the same back doors of Police Mavericks available to the player swing open instead. With the exception of GTA San Andreas, two versions of the Police Maverick exist in all its appearances between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories. Like the Maverick, the Police Maverick originally featured two rotor blades. In GTA Liberty City Stories, it is also not available in a normal game, but can be obtained by a third party trainer program.

In GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, and GTA Vice City Stories, the helicopter is usually always parked on the roof of the main police station of the city. Like the Maverick, the helicopter has made repeated appearances in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The search light is available on the GTA San Andreas rendition (see #Trivia). In addition, Police Mavericks obtainable by the player will have no microphone or machine gun fire. The Police Maverick handles in a similar manner to a normal Maverick, differing only by its ability to pitch steeper than a regular Maverick (especially in games prior to GTA IV). The helicopter can also airdrop up to four SWAT units on ropes in GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA Liberty City Stories, and GTA Vice City Stories, when the player's wanted level is 4 or more (3 in the case of GTA Vice City, where one unit will be airdropped). In GTA San Andreas, it has the sound of an AK-47 or M4), as well as a searchlight, and a loud speaker (used by the police to address the player from the sky) the last feature is absent in Vice City Stories rendition. When flown by police units once the player obtains a 3-star wanted level, the helicopter has an 'invisible' 25mm machine gun on the fuselage (sounding like the M60 while having the power of a TEC-9 or Micro-SMG. The Police Maverick possess many characteristics of the preceding police helicopter in Grand Theft Auto III. 1.1 GTA Vice City - GTA Vice City Stories.
