Other times, they will show up but have hokey excuses for why they need to leave.Īs the game progresses towards the main character’s, the player’s character Jack Boyd’s retirement, you get the option to work with the mafia and the Federal Bureau of Investigations to take down a notorious serial killer. In addition to the professional work, sometimes employees just don’t show up for work. This starts straightforward, but as time progresses towards the 180 day time limit, funding might get cut, or other obligations will pull away officers. It is up to the police chief, the player, to make sure they have enough officers for each day’s on goings.
There are a certain number of job slots for officers, and they are split up between shifts. If you send too many officers, you wont have manpower when a homicide call comes in. The strategy comes in when you need to decide how many officers to send to what crime. These can be simple assault problems, cases where the city wants an officer, a business wants an officer or even more intricate crimes where detectives are needed to solve a crime. The vast majority of the gameplay in This is the Police revolves around managing the calls that come into the department as they come in. Managing a corrupt police station isn’t easy: In my time with this game, I found a compelling strategy and adventure game underneath a pretty gritty story.

I want to point out that many of the things in that previous paragraph are not seen as positives. If you have ever found yourself wishing that you could manage a corrupt police station set in a fiction 1980’s city where racism, sexism and the mafia rule, well, This is the Police is very likely the game for you.
