    Grand Theft Auto VI

    The Vice-Dale Police Department (VDPD) is the primary law enforcement agency responsible for policing Vice-Dale County in the state of Leonida, set to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI. It is distinct from the Vice City Police Department, which has jurisdiction specifically within the city of Vice City.

    Overview / Description

    The Vice-Dale Police Department is the main law enforcement body for the entirety of Vice-Dale County. As a county-level agency, its jurisdiction covers a large metropolitan area that includes notable communities such as Vice City, Vice Beach, and Hamlet. The VDPD is modeled after its real-world counterpart, the Miami-Dade Police Department1, sharing similarities in its name, hierarchical structure, and broad range of law enforcement responsibilities over a large, diverse county. It should not be confused with the Vice City Police Department (VCPD), which is the municipal police force for Vice City proper.

    Products / Services

    The primary service of the VDPD is law enforcement across Vice-Dale County. To carry out its duties, the department utilizes a fleet of emergency vehicles.

    Vehicles:

    • Interceptor Police Cruiser
    • Police variant of the Buffalo STX
    • Police Maverick helicopter
    • Unnamed Bison police truck

    These vehicles were seen in the first official trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI.

    Locations / Presence

    The Vice-Dale Police Department's operational presence extends across the entire jurisdiction of Vice-Dale County. This includes major urban centers and smaller communities within the county, such as:

    • Vice City
    • Vice Beach
    • Hamlet

    Role in Grand Theft Auto VI

    While the VDPD will serve as the primary county-level police force, its specific role in the story or gameplay of Grand Theft Auto VI is unknown. It is expected to be a significant element in the game's law enforcement system.

    Trivia

    • The name "Vice-Dale" is a clear parody of "Miami-Dade," the real-world county where its inspiration, the Miami-Dade Police Department, operates.
    • According to information on Vice-Dale County, the "dale" portion of the name may also be inspired by Fort Lauderdale2, another major city in the South Florida area, and the Cuban slang phrase "¡Dale!", which is used prevalently in Miami3.
