You dont use 'And' like that. Try this:

view source
01local WLevel = 1 -- testing to see if it works..
02local character = game.Workspace.Player
03local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
04local lvl1 = game.StarterGui.wantedlevel.lv1
05local lvl2 = game.StarterGui.wantedlevel.lv2
06local lvl3 = game.StarterGui.wantedlevel.lv3
07local lvl4 = game.StarterGui.wantedlevel.lv4
08local lvl5 = game.StarterGui.wantedlevel.lv5
09 
10if WLevel == 1 then
11    Instance.new("Cop", workspace)
12    lvl1.Visible = true
13    workspace.Cop.Torso.Position = Vector3.new(player.Position)
14else
15    lvl1.Visible = false
16end

The error here was you didn't correct the part where it tries to get the character form game.Workspace.Player, it would have to be the local player's character. Void_Frost 571 — 8y
