GTA Online's Bottom Dollar Bounties DLC added several new missions and vehicles to the game. One such quest that has grabbed players' attention is Dispatch Work in which you can work as a cop to take out criminals and get paid for it. Here's a guide on how to get started with and do police dispatch missions.
How to unlock police dispatch missions in GTA Online
To get access to Dispatch Work and do police dispatch missions in GTA 5, you first need to purchase a compatible police vehicle. In order to get one of these, bring up your phone, open the Internet, and go to the Warstock Cache & Carry website (see image). On this page, you can purchase any police car that says "Dispatch Work available" for it to allow you to do the new mission.
As of now, only six police vehicles support Dispatch Work in GTA Online and I've listed all these with their prices and unlock criteria in the table below.

Best police vehicle to unlock for Dispatch Work mission in GTA Online
The above list gives you an idea of the requirements to unlock these police vehicles. Most of these require you to complete a quest of some sort from the previous DLCs, which may be time-consuming for new players. However, the Unmarked Cruiser looks like the best option as it's the cheapest and has a pretty straightforward unlock criteria. You simply need to survive against a 3-star Wanted Level or above for five minutes in GTA Online to get access to this car, after which you can add it to your collection permanently for $3,950,000.
How to start a Dispatch Work mission in GTA Online
Once you own a police vehicle that supports Dispatch Work, call the Mechanic on your phone to get it delivered to your location or get it from your garage. Until the vehicle arrives, make sure that you aren't currently assigned as the CEO of an Organization or President of a Motorcycle Club; if you are, simply retire from these roles via the interaction menu as shown in the above picture.
Now, get in the driver seat of the police car and press the button prompted on your screen to activate Dispatch Work. You'll then get commands from Vincent about your new police dispatch mission and completing one gives you $25,000. Interestingly, you can leave the cop vehicle and travel to the objective in any vehicle of your choice. For instance, fly the Sparrow attack helicopter to the location and take out the criminals with the rockets in seconds.
