FiveM Police Car Interior: Prisoner Cage, Gun Rack and MDT
A FiveM police car interior needs parts inside the cabin: a prisoner partition, a laptop mount, a gun rack, a radio, roof antennas, rear window bars and a K9 box. The FiveMRides Vehicle Studio bakes them into the car files, fitted by measuring your car’s cabin, so they exist for every player with no prop-attach script. They are visual parts with no collision. In game we have seen the rear window bars (inside the cabin, behind the glass), the prisoner partition and the MDT laptop as an extra; the gun rack, radio, antennas and K9 box are built and checked offline and are not verified in game yet.
- Tool: Police interior kit in the FiveMRides Vehicle Studio. Price: Free.
- Parts: partition (cage or clear panel), laptop on a pedestal, gun rack with one or two long guns, radio head and hand mic, 1 to 3 roof antennas (whip, shark fin, GPS puck), rear window bars, K9 box.
- Fit: measured on the cabin by raycasts (seats, floor, headliner, walls, rear glass, cargo), not typed in.
- Scope: per model, always on, an extra (1 to 12) or a tuning shop part. Visual only: the partition does not contain anyone.
- Seen in game: the rear window bars, from inside and from outside, with the extra switching them on and off; the prisoner partition; the MDT laptop as an extra. The gun rack, radio, antennas and K9 box are not verified in game yet.
Why not just attach props with a script?
A script can attach a prop to a vehicle at runtime, and many servers do. It costs a script, it is per client, it can desync, and it is never fitted to the cabin of that car. A part baked into the vehicle files is part of the model, exists for every player in first person too, and is measured on the actual car: a sedan, an SUV and a large saloon have cabins that differ by about 20 cm. A script can still do what we cannot, such as making the partition solid; we add parts that belong to the model.
What is in the police interior kit?
| Part | What it is | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Prisoner partition | Cage (round bars about every 8.5 cm, cross wires, optional lower steel plate) or a frame with a clear panel on the upper part. Optional sliding centre window | Sits right behind the front seat backs, so it does not get in the way of getting in or of the sit animation |
| Laptop mount | Floor plate, pole and arm to a laptop tray; laptop with keyboard, trackpad, lid and screen, turned toward the driver | Passenger side or centre. Screen: glow image or plain black |
| Gun rack | Back plate between the seats with clamps and a lock bar, one or two long guns (shotgun and rifle shapes) | Visual, holds no weapon. Refused if there is less than 60 cm for the guns |
| Radio | Control head on a post on the console or on the dash, with knobs, buttons, an amber display and a hand mic on a clip | Console is the safer mount; the dash mount is a heuristic |
| Antennas | 1 to 3 among whip, shark fin and GPS puck at six roof positions | Each foot is dropped onto the measured roof height |
| Rear window bars | Round or flat bars on the rear glass, optional bars on the rear side windows | Placed on the cabin side of the rear glass: every point along each bar is checked by raycasts, ends are trimmed, a bar that does not fit is pushed in or dropped, and the build is refused when none fits |
| K9 box | Vented shell with a barred door, behind the rear seat in the cargo area or standing on the rear seat | Refused when the cargo is under 45 cm deep. It adds a box, not a dog |
Frame colors use a finish you choose (for example black powder coat); steel, rubber, chrome and the screens keep fixed materials. No brand, crest or real department mark is used. The full kit is about 9,000 to 13,000 triangles at the highest detail level.
Which police cars does it fit?
We built it on three test cars of different cabins: a sedan with every part built in, a 4-seat SUV with extras, and a sports sedan using the tuning shop. We measured five more. In game we have seen the rear window bars on three rebuilt test cars (an SUV with the bars as an extra, a sports sedan with flat bars as a tuning shop part, and a saloon with round bars built in): they sit behind the glass from inside and from outside, and the extra switches them on and off. The prisoner partition and the laptop (switched on as an extra) were seen in game too, and a UNIT 12 windshield banner from the fleet tools sat well next to them. The gun rack, radio, antennas and K9 box were checked offline only.
- Police cars that already carry their own partition, rear bars, antenna and gun mount (two catalogue police cars) would get doubles, so we did not build them. The gun rack is correctly refused there.
- One lifted SUV was refused by our own check because its window data does not survive a round trip, so it was dropped.
- Vans without rear seat bones are refused for the rear bars and antennas.
Need a car first? Browse FiveM police cars, the unmarked police cars or the FiveM EMS pack. Cars with their own police equipment need a plain version first.
Can I use it on EMS and fire cars?
The parts are generic, so a laptop mount, radio and antennas make sense on an ambulance or a command SUV, while a prisoner partition does not. We have not tested it on EMS or fire vehicles, so we do not claim a fit there.
How do I add a police interior to a FiveM car?
- Upload your car. Open the Vehicle Studio and upload one police or EMS vehicle you have the right to modify.
- Open the Police interior tool. Pick it in the left rail. There is nothing to place by hand: the build measures the cabin on the server, and the panel shows approximate stand-in shapes in the 3D view.
- Pick the parts. Choose the partition style, laptop, rack, radio, antennas, bars and K9 box you want, and look at them from inside the cabin in the 3D view. One of each part per car.
- Choose how each part is fitted. Always on, an extra (a number not already used by the car) or a tuning shop option, where the game allows it.
- Build and install. Download one resource and add it to your server. Add the lights and sirens separately, see FiveM police lights.
Limits
- Seen in game: the rear window bars, the partition and the laptop extra. The rack, radio, antennas and K9 box are not verified in game yet.
- Lights and sirens added with the Studio lights tool flash in game on Studio police builds.
- Rear window bars are refused when the car has no rear window the tool can find, and side bars are added only when the side window is found. A lifted SUV with shattered-window data is still refused.
- A drift cage and a police partition in one build are refused, because both sit behind the seats.
- The partition is visual only, with no collision. It does not physically contain anyone, and the gun rack and K9 box do not block. Solid parts would change the car’s physics and carry a crash risk, so we did not add them.
- The clear panel of the polycarbonate partition uses a decal shader because real vehicle glass would be turned into a breakable window. Whether it looks translucent in game is not yet seen. Plan B is the frame only.
- The glowing laptop and radio screens use the same light mechanism as the LED strips. Day and night look on these parts is not yet seen. A plain black screen is an option.
- Rear knee room is real: on the sedan we tested, the partition ends 9 cm from the rear seat position, and the tool warns when the gap is under 22 cm. Some scripts can slide or recline the front seats.
- The gun rack is refused on cars that already carry their own gear. Cars with tuning parts in a separate model file are not supported, as for the other tools.
- Parts are not tied to any real department.
Police interior questions
How do I add a prisoner cage to a FiveM police car?
Fit a partition mesh behind the front seats in the car files, or attach a prop with a script. The Vehicle Studio police interior kit builds a cage or clear-panel partition into the car, measured on the cabin. It is visual only and has no collision.
Do I need a script for the police interior?
No for the look: the parts are in the car files. A small optional file only names the tuning shop parts and adds an on and off command when you use extras or tuning options.
Can the laptop screen show anything?
It can show a generated dispatch-style map image that glows, or stay plain black. You cannot upload your own screen image in this version. The glow is not verified in game yet.
Is the gun rack functional?
No. It is a visual part and does not store weapons. Weapon storage is a job for your framework.
Does the partition block anyone in the back?
No. It has no collision, so it is a look, not a mechanic.
Can players switch the parts on and off?
Yes where the game allows it, as an extra (1 to 12) or a tuning shop option. One extra can switch several parts.
Does it add a K9 unit?
It adds a K9 box in the cargo area or on the rear seat. It does not add a dog or any behavior.
How much does it cost?
It is free for everyone, like the other add-ons of this wave. The preview is free too.
