Police Simulator: Patrol Officers CRUDFREE

Intro

The point of this guide is to quickly and clearly explain the gameplay mechanics without frivolity. That means no images. If you need them - other guides offer them.

I intend to cover gameplay basics, Legal logic processing, Tools, and Gameplay Tips

If you have anything you want to correct or add - have at it, I'll likely include it.

Current to Patch Version 5.10

Detainment Procedure

Checking ID'sDriver ID’s:

Issue a violation - Expired ID, Expired Insurance, Missing Insurance

Arrest - Stolen ID, Missing IDNotes:

An ID is stolen if the picture or License number does not match

Missing ID is either the absence of an ID, or when a driver presents a basic ID instead of a Drivers' License. Check the upper right corner for the words "Drivers License"

ALWAYS check the Background Check Database against ID's. This can help you easily spot basic issues and open Warrants.

Pedestrian ID’s:

Issue a violation - ID is expired or missing

Arrest - If individual has warrants when checking the Background DatabaseInterrogation Frisk - Shaking or nervous behavior

Drug/BAC test - Dilated pupils, red eyes, smells of drugs/alcohol, green crud on them, pulled over for erratic driving, committed any traffic (moving) violation

Search Person - Failed a drug/BAC test, any arrest

Search Vehicle - Failed drug/BAC test, any arrest, Drug or weapons evidence from searching their person

Arrest - If search produces marijuana over 1 gram, other drugs, warrants, weapons

Pedestrian Violations

Detain and ticket - Littering, Jaywalking, Public Drinking, Vandalism

Detain and arrest – Wanted picture, distributing of drugs, Thievery

Parking Violations

Ticket -

Parked on sidewalk

Parked too far in street

Facing wrong directionTicket and Tow -

Too close to crosswalk (You can stand between car and curb)

Non Parking Area (Parked not on a road and not within ordered white lines)

In front of a Hydrant

Taxi Zone (Taxis and vehicles with 'swift' stickers or 'Taxi' on bottom of license plate allowed)

Expired Plates (Pink Sticker is always expired, blue always valid, green needs to be checked against the date)

Moving Violations

Pull Over Justification - Speeding, Suspicious driving, Ignored stop signs or red lights, Failure to signal, Smoking exhaust, Engine is too loud

Procedure: Use the Police Stop Sign while standing in the drivers' line of sight to pull them over. You will have better results around traffic lights and road bends. Speeding requires radar, so don't bother pulling them over, just report them with the radar gun directly and let them go.

Tell them you are detaining for the observed reason. Ask for ID and check. Check plates, windshield, tint and issue violations as necessary. Drug/BAC test. Follow basic Detainment Procedures above all the while as evidence presents.

If they avoid eye contact, shake or are anxious, you can frisk them. If they run - Tase and search person and vehicle.

Accident Procedure

Block off the oncoming traffic with your cruiser, turn on lights and siren. If major accident, use road flares to extend blockage

First check for injured and call ambulance

Grab camera and snap all available evidence

Begin processing the evidence – issue each individuals' violations immediately instead of after the whole scene, or you may forget violations. Remember not to arrest for petty crimes when major crimes present.

Focus on all plates and issue violations as necessary

Check IDs and check the database

Take BAC and drug test. BAC ≥ .9 is DUI and grounds for search of the individual and vehicle. That means .08 is ok

Interview each witness, including bystanders engaged in the accident

Remember Detainment procedures, frisk and search as appropriate. Don’t forget to search vehicle if DUI or weapons.

If the progress bar is not in the third segment, continue searching, when done, issue reports and arrests, then tow vehicles that cannot be driven off scene

Tool Usage

Patrol car: Set pedestrian and traffic density to low. You might consider leaving it here. Refer to SomehowLucky’s map for basic traffic information. Drive slow, and don’t let pedestrians come near you. Consider using the patrol car for only small areas. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2521201886

Radar gun: Right click zooms in and measures speed. Left click snaps a picture to allow you to issue a citation. License plate must be visible, and you must snap while they are actually speeding.

Anti-Checkhov gun: Don’t shoot it.

Police stop sign: Not for speeders. Use this to catch smokers, loud engines

Tazer: Sometimes the suspect will throw their hands up. DO NOT TAZE.

Flashlight: Good for intuition, but it will scare off vandals and drug dealers. Necessary to scan plates at night.

Road Flares: Only used to secure accident area at night.
