The Wanted Level in Grand Theft Auto Online is a measure to determine how much a player is wanted by the Los Santos Police Department, the Los Santos County Sheriff, and/or the National Office of Security Enforcement. Akin to the wanted level system of the parent game, Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto Online features a five-star wanted scale. This stands in contrast to every Grand Theft Auto installment preceding GTA V, all of which feature six-star scales instead.

Police officers in Grand Theft Auto Online are much more aggressive and persistent in pursuing the perpetrator than in previous games. Police AI is noticeably more intelligent in comparison to Grand Theft Auto IV; officers are less likely to miss their targets when engaged in a gunfight, and will take better cover from an armed suspect. During vehicular pursuits, officers employ a range of tactics aimed at stopping the player's car, such as the infamous PIT maneuver. Like in Grand Theft Auto IV and GTA V, an officer will commandeer a civilian vehicle to continue a pursuit if their own police vehicle is destroyed or becomes inaccessible; if an occupied vehicle is nearby, an officer will carjack its driver before using the vehicle. Also similar to IV and V is the ability for police to respond to crimes committed out of their sight, as civilians may call the police on their cell phones if they witness a crime. Unlike in GTA V, however, civilians will never physically pull out their phone to call the police when reporting a crime.

Police search the player in the same style as Grand Theft Auto III. In this manner, no search radius is deployed; instead, police will search across the entire map. Each individual officer has an arc-shaped field of sight, and will actively engage the player if they enter said field. Should the avatar enter an officer's field of sight, the player's mini-map will flash red and blue, signifying that they can be "seen" by the police. When not visible by police, the mini-map will display nearby officers' fields of view, which are highlighted in a translucent blue. The player must go undetected for a set amount of time in order to lose their wanted level, and the time it takes to do so increases as the player earns more stars. The player can also immediately lose their wanted level by dying or calling Lester to remove it, with the latter option at the cost of two hundred in-game dollars per star attained, or by extension, a maximum of one thousand dollars for five stars.
