These police vehicles can be purchased in-game from the Warstock Cache and Carry store. All of these vehicles are expensive and will cost you anywhere from $3.9 million to $4.8 million to purchase. In terms of trade value, the Unmarked Cruiser is the cheapest at $2,962,500, while the Police Riot van is the most expensive at $3.6 million.

Scope Out Mission Row: How to Unlock Access to Police Cars
To purchase a police car in GTA 5 Online, you must first complete certain objectives. More specifically, you must initiate The Gangbanger Robbery and pass the point where the game instructs you to scope out the Mission Row Police Station.
To initiate this mission, you must go to the in-game Maze Bank Foreclosures website and purchase a Salvage Yard. The cheapest of the three Salvage Yards the game allows you to buy is $2,420,000 and located in Murrieta Heights. If you’re feeling exuberant, you can purchase the most expensive Salvage Yard in La Puerta for $2,690,000.
