Police Helicopter in GTA 6: the Chopper Over Vice City

A light police helicopter hanging over the skyline in the artwork Rockstar released with Trailer 2, police markings on its nose and tail. GTA Wiki files it apart from the Police Maverick; Rockstar has named neither.

Identified in Rockstar’s footage by outside editors; Rockstar has not named it. Rockstar has published no vehicle statistics for GTA 6, so this page prints none.

Is there a police helicopter in GTA 6? Where it was seen

Each answer carries how settled it is and who settled it. Where nobody has said, the card says that instead of guessing — and says what stays open even after the answer.

Has the Police Helicopter been seen in GTA 6?

Shown, not stated

Yes — in official artwork.

Hangs over the skyline behind Jason and Lucia in the Trailer 2 artwork, police markings on its nose and tail boom. These are identifications made from Rockstar’s own footage — Rockstar has not named the vehicle in any of them.

Still open — Whether it can be driven, bought or modified — none of that shows in a frame.

Is the GTA 6 police helicopter the Police Maverick?

Nobody has said

Not this one. GTA Wiki lists the helicopter in Rockstar’s artwork as its own EC135-style model, apart from the Police Maverick; Rockstar has named neither.

GTA Wiki keeps a separate entry for a Police Maverick flown by the Vice-Dale Police. The helicopter in the Trailer 2 artwork has a shrouded tail rotor and skids, and GTA Wiki reads it as a different airframe. GTA Intel calls it simply the Police Helicopter.

Still open — Whether both fly in the game, and for which departments.

Police Maverick in GTA 6

What real helicopter is it based on?

Said on record

The Eurocopter EC135, according to GTA Wiki — its cockpit, shrouded tail rotor and skids — with some of the EC130’s profile. GTA Intel names the Airbus Helicopters H135.

Both readings come from the one artwork. They are the community’s, not Rockstar’s.

Still open — Whether the in-game model matches the artwork.

How we checked this page

Two readings of one Rockstar artwork: GTA Wiki's entry for the helicopter and GTA Intel's walk-through of every official piece. GTA Intel's own record page for this helicopter retells the GTA III police chopper, so its history was not carried over. Which helicopter chases you, and at what star, has no source, and the page does not guess.
