"I clean these streets of garbage like you every day."

The Carcer City Police Department is the corrupt law enforcement agency supposedly tasked with protecting Carcer City, appearing as Hunters in Manhunt.

Their weapons of choice are the Nightstick, Revolver, Shotgun, and the Sniper Rifle.

Description[]

Badge

The CCPD Badge

The CCPD are Carcer City's main police force and are led by the corrupt police chief Gary Schaffer, who takes bribes from Lionel Starkweather to allow the Director's snuff film ring to operate within the entire city. As a result of this, the CCPD are mostly ineffective at their stated jobs and are used as pawns by Starkweather during the events of Manhunt.

The CCPD can be seen wearing an all-blue police uniform, sometimes accompanied by a black jacket or pants with a yellow stripe.

Officers can be heard muttering about selling stolen drugs, beating homeless people and complaining about being forced to search for James Earl Cash, who they believe to be just a street thug or hobo. Like real-life police, they are usually found in groups of two or more and are rarely seen alone or separated. Like other Hunters, once they spot the corpse of a fellow police officer, they will fight noticeably harder and stick together, making it difficult to pick them off one by one.

Events of Manhunt[]

After Cash escapes from Darkwoods Penitentiary, Ramirez is dispatched by the Director to hunt him down in the Darkwoods district but is himself killed by Cash who escapes with the Journalist's help. Starkweather, desperately wanting to stop Cash, then calls in a favor to corrupt chief of police Gary Schaffer and orders him to march "his boys" out to capture Cash and the Journalist (though they are apparently lead to kill them during gameplay). CCPD officers then flood the Central district and patrol its streets and the area surrounding the the Journalist's Apartment. The officers are under the impression that they are apprehending a junkie, likely a lie told to them by Schaffer.

Cash manages to kill many of them and then they guard the subway. They even place officers armed with Sniper Rifles on the roofs of Chips Casino and Tyson Tyres, but they are all also killed. They are then assisted by the S.W.A.T. when they shut down the subway. All of the officers are killed as Cash takes the subway to the train yard, where he is ultimately cornered by S.W.A.T. The Cerberus suddenly emerge and kill the S.W.A.T officers, incapacitating Cash and bringing him to Starkweather. They never appear after Trained to Kill apart from the ending cutscene of Deliverance.

Mission Appearances: Press Coverage, Wrong Side of the Tracks, Trained to Kill and Deliverance.

Trivia[]

  • The CCPD are the only Hunters to not have masks as a part of their uniform, excluding the higher-ranking S.W.A.T team members.
  • The Carcer City Police Department is not modeled after any specific real-life Police Department. The uniforms they wear are not identifiable, but the police vehicles they use are stereotypical "black and white" cars found in many American cities, particularly Los Angeles.
  • The police also seem to be a bit under-equipped. By 2003 (the year Manhunt was released and its setting), no patrol officer in a major city would take on the duties of a special weapons unit (i.e. the sniper on the casino rooftop); their cop cars (which resemble the 1983-'86 Ford LTD police package) are extremely out of date, having probably been out of production since the late 1980s, considering that all Grand Theft Auto games set from 1992 onward featured much more recent models in large cities; and their equipment is also non-standardized, with some officers still carrying revolvers despite them being considered obsolete by most standards since the 1990s and use 9mm pistols since.
    • However, this may be likely due to the severe state of poverty Carcer City is currently in, in which money may not be able to come in very often through public means (I.E: taxes, public, business, or private) in which the city is unable to raise enough money to purchase updated vehicles or weapons for their regular law enforcement, in which they can only afford to re-stock revolvers/shotguns and (assumingly) fix their currently used older patrol cars.
  • The models of the CCPD and SWAT officers, and their vehicles are reused from Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, but with some noticeable differences.
  • Cash kills a total of 68 CCPD officers in three scenes they appear in.
  • Although not a gang, the tactics required for Cash to sneak up and execute CCPD officers (as well as S.W.A.T) are the same as other Hunters, and are on-par with the Wardogs and Smileys in the level of danger.
