During some of the cases you will be required to chase a suspect in order to apprehend them. During some of these foot chases you will have the option to draw your weapon by pressing “L1” and firing off a warning shot. With your gun drawn, you will have to line up your cross-hair on the suspect. As you hold your cross-hair over the suspect, you will see a circular meter start to fill up in a clockwise manner. Once the meter is filled, a scene will play and Cole will shoot one shot into the air, stopping the fleeing suspect. You can do this in most Street Crimes or you can also do it in later stages of the main story. A good side mission to get this trophy on is “Daylight Robbery”. It will be available while on the Vice desk.

A good place to get this trophy is during the case “The Golden Butterfly” on the Homicide desk.
Traffic Stop (Bronze) – Disable a suspect vehicle with help form your partner.
While chasing a fleeing car, you can have your partner shoot out their tires. Once a chase breaks out, you will need to get in close enough to the left side of the car that your partner can shoot out the tires. Once your partner has shot out the tires, he will tell you to spin them out. At this point all that is left to do is hit the car enough to disable it and then get out of your car and walk towards it. The first place you will be able to do this is during the case “The Fallen Idol” on the Traffic desk.
The Straight Dope (Bronze) – Use evidence to prove a lie as an LAPD Detective or Investigator.

Walk up to the trunk of the car and press “X” to open it. Once the trunk is open you will have the option to pick up either a piece of paper or a tire iron. Choose the piece of paper and you will find out that it is a receipt for a live pig. At this point you should see on the bottom left corner of the screen that says “New Clue”.

Stab-Rite (Bronze) – At Ray’s Cafe, find the bloodstained knife on your first sweep of the crime scene.
This is at the very beginning of the case “A Marriage Made In Heaven” on the Traffic desk. As soon as you reach the Crime scene, head to the alley on the left side of the bar. There will be a silver trash-can on the right side of the alley. When you get to the trash-can your controller will vibrate. Press the “X” button to pick up the knife and examine it. Later on during the case you will head to the coroner’s to discuss the cause of death. While there, you will learn that the victim was killed by a knife before he was hit by the car. The knife you found in the trash-can turns out to be the murder weapon in the end.

Once found, you will end up back on the ground where you will be talking to Felix Alvarro. You will need to guess the answer to both questions correctly for him to give up the marines involved in the Coolridge heist. Here are the correct answers to both questions:
- Informed of Coolridge Heist – DOUBT
- Motive for Shooting – LIE – Evidence – Sniper’s Pocketbook
Huckster (Bronze) – At Elysian Fields, outwit Leland Monroe when discussing his developments or advertising campaign.
You will get trophy on the case “A Walk In Elysian Fields” on the Arson desk. Before you talk to the Mr. Monroe, make sure you have went to Rancho Escondido first.

Here are the correct answers to all four questions. Elysian Linked to Arson – DOUBT
- Promotional Travel Contest – LIE – Evidence – Elysian Fields Flyers (Given to you by the noisy neighbor.)
- Local Land Acquisitions – DOUBT
- Rancho Escondido Fire – LIE – Evidence – Poor Cement Quality
Lead Foot (Bronze) – Keep the needle above 80mph for more than ten seconds while driving.
There are a lot of cars that can go 80 miles per hour or more. The police car that you start with on the Traffic desk will do just fine. Once you are able to drive freely around the city, locate a very long straight road to drive on. Once you are ready to go, turn on the police siren and try to avoid all other cars. Most cars will stop and stay out of your way if you have your siren on. Keep driving as fast as the car can go for as long as you can. You should have no trouble getting this trophy.
Note: If you are having trouble getting this trophy, locate one of the “hidden” cars marked as a question mark on your map. These will be marked on your map once you reach a certain rank. You should get the first five hidden cars marked on your map at Rank 3. Using one of those cars will net you this trophy very quickly. If you are still having trouble you can always try the airport runways on the northern edge of the “Central” part of the city.
Miles On the Clock (Bronze) – Drive more than 194.7 miles.
Drive around until you have driven more than 194.7 miles. This will come over time if you drive everywhere yourself. All miles driven count towards this trophy so it doesn’t matter how many different vehicles you drive. You can check your progress by pausing the game and going to “Statistics”.
Note: Having your partner drive will not count towards this trophy.

Public Menace (Silver) – Rack up $47,000 in penalties during a single story case.
During a story case you can rack up penalties in the form of money. You can earn penalties for destroying vehicles, destroying city property and killing people. In order to get $47,000 in damages you will need to destroy about 80 standard vehicles. A much faster and easier way of going about this, is to find the hidden vehicle “Duesenberg Walker Coupe” as it is worth $25,000. It is located on the corner of Santa Monica Blvd and El Centro Ave. Simply destroy it two times to reach your damage goal.
Note: In order for it to count as “destroying” your vehicle, the hood must fly off and the engine must catch on fire.
The Moose (Bronze) – Follow Candy Edwards without using cover or incognito, except when starting or picking up the tail.
You will earn this trophy during “The Set up” case while on the Vice desk. After leaving Candy’s home you will have to tail her. While tailing her, you will not be allowed to use cover by Pressing the “R1” button or use incognito behind objects by pressing the “X” button. You can however, hide behind objects while standing as long as you don’t press either “R1” or “X”. Stay back as far as you can without losing her and you should be fine.
Note: If you get caught, press “start” to quit back to the main menu and then choose “Resume”. This will start you back at the interview before the section where you need to tail Candy. Do not press “Retry” as this will not allow you to unlock the trophy even if you succeed the next time.
Keep A Lid On (Bronze) – Complete a brawl without losing your hat as an LAPD Detective or Investigator.
The best way to get this trophy is to always use the block button and move around to avoid punches. You should also press and hold the “L2” button to stay locked onto the enemy. Press the “X” button to throw punches. When prompted you can press “circle” to finish him off. You can also use the “triangle” button to grab an enemy and then hit the “X” button to throw them or hit the “circle” button to head but the enemy.
The first place this trophy can be earned is during the case “The Red lipstick Murder” on the Homicide desk. After interviewing Jacob Henry, a fight will break out. I suggest pressing “L2” as quickly as possible while moving back, because Jacob starts throwing punches fairly early. Here are the fight controls:
Fighting Controls
Punch – X button
Dodge/Hold To Block – Square button
Grapple Moves – Triangle button
Lock Onto Target – L2 button
Finishing Move – Circle button
