Accept a Street Crime radio message and set a custom marker near the street crime. Get out and get your partner to drive. When you arrive, drive the last block or two yourself to activate the mission.
Here are some tips for chase scenes.
- When chasing a suspect on foot or in a vehicle, hold the Camera Focus button (B on Xbox 360, CIRCLE on PS3) to keep an eye on your prey. This makes chase scenes much easier.
- When you get near a suspect on foot, you can press the Tackle button repeatedly (A on Xbox 360, X on PlayStation 3) to tackle the suspect.
- In a car chase, pull up alongside a driver to have your partner fire at him. If he shoots a tire, the car will slow down, emitting sparks from one wheel. A faster way to take out a driver, however, is to slam into a rear wheel, spinning the car out of control. T-boning a suspect at an intersection is another good way to take him out.
While driving in a police car (your own) you will hear radio chatter and updates on Street Crimes (side quests), but if you hop into a civilian car you won’t have a radio. Ambulances, however, come equipped with a radio, so you will continue to get the calls. To the crime-bulance
