However, the police scanner could be heard again during heists. The police scanner is absent once again in Grand Theft Auto Online, possibly due to the many players online at the same time. The player can now hear dialogue from the helicopter pilots, which will say lines like 'Air support en route!' The pilots will also announce if the player is in their sight or not. It will also announce the units dispatched to the crime scene. Like other games, the dispatch will use codenames, and will announce the location of the player. The police scanner reappears in Grand Theft Auto V, with updated dialogue from the new female dispatch operator. The police scanner is also absent in GTA: Chinatown Wars, although this was probably because of the hardware limitations. If Luis Fernando Lopez causes trouble at any of the two night clubs in Algonquin, the dispatch will announce a 'disturbance at the nightclub in Westminster/ Purgatory'.

The same dispatch is reused in The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, with some new dialogue recorded exclusively for the two episodes. In some missions, the dispatch will say unique lines, such as the crimes Niko Bellic commits in missions such as Final Interview and Three Leaf Clover (in the latter, the dispatch's dialogue is the longest in the entire game, describing the robbery at the Bank of Liberty, and how the sus pec ts are armed and dangerous). Also, the dispatch will no longer use codenames (such as 10-92, 10-24, etc.), instead, announcing the actual name of the crime (reckless driver, helicopter down, shots fired, Grand Theft Auto, etc.). Now, the dispatch will say how many police cars will be dispatched to the crime scene ('Dispatch (number of units) units from (location)', 'Dispatch air unit from (location)'), etc. In Grand Theft Auto IV, the police scanner has changed dynamically. For unknown reasons, in GTA: LCS and GTA: VCS, the dispatch will not play at all, suggesting the police scanner was dropped during development of these games.

These types of lines stuck with most GTA games, with a different voice of a policeman/woman in each game. If the player is fleeing in a vehicle, the dispatch will say something such as: 'Suspect last seen in a (color of car) (type of car)'. The police will announce the crime being committed, and will announce the player's location, saying something along the lines of 'We have a (codename of crime) in north, west, etc. Upon gaining a wanted level, the dispatch will go off, which the player can hear.
