Keep Law and Order! Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Available Now on PC, PlayStation and Xbox
astragon Entertainment, in collaboration with developer studio Aesir Interactive, releases Police Simulator: Patrol Officers both digitally and at retail for PC and consoles today. Players start their career with the Brighton Police Department to enforce law and order in the streets of the fictive US coastal city of Brighton and get an insight into everyday police work. At the same time as the release, the Urban Terrain Vehicle DLC is also available at a price of 2.99 Euro/2.49 GBP/2.99 USD, which includes a fancy patrol car. Players who have already purchased Police Simulator: Patrol Officers in Early Access or pre-ordered the game will receive the DLC for free.
Before they start their first shift, players can choose between eight different characters to start their police career with. A variety of challenging tasks await them, with the difficulty and complexity increasing as the police officers climb the career ladder. Initially, they distribute parking tickets on foot, but soon the players receive their first patrol car, are allowed to catch speeders, solve accidents and track down suspects. Particularly experienced officers can eventually even solve robberies and arrest drug dealers. As you play, new interactions, vehicles and precincts are continuously unlocked, making no shift feel like the previous one. In addition, a game mechanic has been implemented that tracks and rates the player's behavior, where bad behavior can quickly lead to dismissal. In addition, Police Simulator: Patrol Officers offers players the possibility to go on patrol in pairs in the online co-op mode and thus keep law and order in Brighton.
The game was released in Early Access on Steam back in June 2021 and since then has received numerous additional content, updates and improvements that the community has been asking for. In the future, gamers can also look forward to more updates that bring exciting new content. At least three more updates are planned on all platforms until mid-2023, but more surprises await them furthermore.
Police Simulator: Patrol Officers for PC costs 29.99 Euro/24.99 GBP/29.99 USD as a standard retail and digital version. For consoles, the standard version costs 39.99 Euro/34.99 GBP/39.99 USD in retail and digitally. The retail versions will be available in selected countries.

Instead, the money should go towards buying police simulator so I can learn how to be a beat cop and mistaken a garden hose as a deadly assault weapon.
Listen here son. I’m not a gramps……yet…….hopefully not for another 17 years or so….
May I also remind you fellas who love some dark humor that the Postal franchise is on sale? Postal 2 Paradise Lost is more than worth the buck RWS is asking for it right now.
Good stuff!
That said, I did initially apply for the local PD here when I was 18. They told me to grow pubes and drop balls first before I can apply. By then got into a different career.
Honestly think you should need at least a bachelors in law to be an officer. The number of times I’ve had to explain the law (specifically the FACE act, which is pretty straightforward federal law, but does have some nuance here in NYC due to NYPD’s operations orders, which were established six years ago) at a protest that has occurred monthly for the past six years, in almost exactly the same way every time, to an officer only to be referred to a lieutenant, and then the community relations department lieutenant (protest and community outreach police, who have been studying the protest since its inception), and then the legal team (who have also been studying and deploy TARU (technical support/surveillance) and the SRG (anti-terrorism, which has shifted to protest groups since there’s not enough terrorism to be fought)), who then have to look up the code on the app the NYPD built for them, and often then call their own chief to confirm (who has to call their legal team — ie the head of the legal department has to call up actual lawyers to confirm the thing they’re supposed to have been enforcing for six years), at a protest where basically no variation occurs month-to-month, is astounding. You’d really think they’d have figured out something after years of sending 300+ cops out for ~150 people monthly for this long, but somehow they still don’t get it.
I’m sure you have your reasons for saying as much beyond trolling, but most of the higher-ups I encounter in one of the largest, well funded, and technically advanced police departments in the world is… disappointingly, unsurprising.
Sorry for OT but I’m sure this German simulation accounts for US law in a faithful manner, as unclear as it often is, while being culturally sensitive to the differences between police in the US and Germany
NY sucks and I'm surprised anyone bothers to live there. Been there once and never again.
After watching CHUD I figured that was typical NY anyway.
Also, the key question: how are the donut shops in this game?
