―A cop

The Miami Police Department (MPD) are a faction in Scarface (1983 film) and in the game Scarface - The World Is Yours.

Description

The MPD are Miami's main police force and are led by crooked police officer Mel Bernstein, who takes bribes from Frank Lopez to help him assassinate Tony Montana. They can be seen wearing an all-blue police uniform, sometimes accompanied by pants with a yellow stripe. In beta version, some of them didn't wear hats. They drive the police version of Santa Monica known as MPD Cruiser and the Brahma. Officers can be heard yelling about Miami style tactics, and that they have families. They can be found in groups of two or more and are rarely seen alone or separated when Tony needs to Lose the Cops.

In game

They appear if the player's mini-map border is white, and one or more units will always come to Tony and take his cash and drugs away if Tony fails in talking his way out. They will appear as enemies and will come to pursue the player if his mini-map is red and will not hesitate to kill Tony. A corrupt cop also appears in one of Felix's mission and when killed, the player will get gang heat instead of cop heat due to him taking bribes from rival drug cartels. The same goes for every other cop killed in a Felix's mission. If the player gets to the "YOU ARE FUCKED!" level, the MPD will be largely assisted by DEA, S.W.A.T and police helicopters. If the player tries to escape to the Islands, the Coast Guard will also come in to assist and will be chasing Montana down with their armored boats.

The MPD police officers, SWAT, DEA, police helicopters and the Coast Guard can be killed by Tony, but it is costly to his balls and should be avoided.

Angel Dust Donuts

During the mission "Angel Dust Donuts" they are the main enemies and need to be chased by Tony to the Industrial Zone, where they drive off a bridge and are suspected to die. Surprisingly, Tony doesn't get any more heat from this than he usually would but that is because it's assumed the MPD didn't recognize Tony in the said mission.

Trivia

• The player can sometimes talk to a cop; for example in North Beach after you fast talk your way out of cop's trap, he will be walking around the streets and can be talked to. He will attack Tony if the player punches him or pulls out a gun, however.
• The cops will help Tony kill other drug cartels if Tony is attacked by gangsters and doesn't pull out a weapon.
• In the film two Police officers are at the beginning and take Tony to Freedom Town. One of them complains about then-President Jimmy Carter.
• If the player's cop heat is over 8000 points, and if Tony fails at getting away with fast talk, a cutscene will show Tony getting beaten up by 4 cops and will barely stand up and his health will be very low.
• If Tony's cop heat is 10 000, Tony will lose about 500,000$ of his money - even the clean one if there is not enough amount of dirty one.
