The named police officer from Edge's October 2026 preview

Officer Méndez of the Vice City Police Department appears in one of the twelve images Edge magazine published with its GTA 6 cover story at the end of October 2026. Rockstar has not published a bio. Reported

What is known

Edge watched Rockstar North's Rob Nelson play GTA 6 for about 90 minutes and ran twelve new images with the story. KeenGamer's list of those images includes one captioned as Officer Méndez of the Vice City Police Department. The images are Edge's, so they are not reproduced here. Reported

The same preview described how the police work: officers build a description from your clothes, your vehicle and whether Jason and Lucia are together, and in the demo a K9 unit caught and pinned Jason. See Police leads and Wanted level. Reported
