Police Simulator: Patrol Officers · published · build 20572096
Fellow Officers,
there's a lot more to do for the Brighton Police Department: Introducing The Mission Update, available now across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox!
This update contains:
🚨 New Callouts
📷 New Tool: CCTV
🪲 Several Bug Fixes
📉 Several Crash Fixes
... and more!
Starting today, officers will experience a variety of new challenges and tasks throughout their shifts.
➡️ But now, let's take a closer look!
The Mission Update introduces a variety of brand-new callouts – the responsibilities of the Brighton Police Department are growing!
These callouts require a new sense of urgency and care as they greatly improve the safety of Brighton. Officers will face new and dynamic challenges that require careful judgment, empathy, and swift action – ensuring that every call is handled with the professionalism and dedication that defines the Brighton PD.
The citizens of Brighton rely on your vigilance more than ever. Not all crime happens across all districts, so make sure to show presence across the entire city.
Vandalism: Citizens have reported an increase in property damage across multiple neighborhoods – a serious crime that demands immediate response. Make sure to secure the scene, capture evidence, interview witnesses, locate and review CCTV footage for further clues, and identify and arrest the supect based on collected evidence!
Vagrancy: Individuals have started using public space without a clear lawful purpose, often involving panhandling, loitering, or even setting up temporary shelter in areas not designated for habitation.
Officers are asked to investigate the scenes: Aggressive panhandling does warrant a fine or an official warning while unauthorized camping justifies arrest and removal of any obstruction. Should you observe loitering that causes discomfort or perceived threat to others, a fine or warning are expected.
Please act with discretion – yes, the enforcement of local ordinances are important, but so is empathy to the person. You never know what they've gone through.
Domestic Incidents: A rise in conflichts between invididuals in a household or intimate relationship have been spotted! These range from simple verbal disputes to physical violence and must be handled with care to ensure the safety of all parties involved.
De-escalate verbal disputes, provide first aid to injured individuals, call for medical assistance if necessary, and detain individuals involved in the scene. When physical violence is confirmed, you must arrest perpetrators for domestic violence!
Your judgement is important: Always assess the scene to carefully determine if there is a clear victim or if both parties are equally aggressive.
To gather additional information, officers now have access to an additional tool: CCTV!
At crime scenes, you can access the camera to find out who's truly responsible for their acts! Observe the footage, take note of what you see, and find the suspects.
Take command of the mighty police pickup and experience the strength of an American legend: the Vanguard Police Vehicle!
Built to dominate both city streets and rugged backroads, the VPV combines sheer size with unmistakable authority, delivering an unforgettable patrol experience across Brighton and the state of Franklin.
This vehicle comes in two variants: One with and one without a hardtop!
Owners of the Season Pass receive this vehicle for free:
