Description
Dive into a deep story of corruption, crime and intrigue. Take the role of gritty Police Chief Jack Boyd, and come face to face with the ugly underbelly of Freeburg, a city spiraling the drain. Will Jack reach his retirement with a nice stack of bills, or will he end up broken ... or worse?

Manage your staff, respond to emergencies, and investigate crimes in a city on the brink of chaos. The mafia underworld maneuvers behind the scenes, sinking their claws ever deeper into the city, even as the mayor is ready to exploit every situation to his political advantage.
Choose your approach to each situation as it unfolds. Sometimes you’ll be responding to a developing crisis at a crime scene, or negotiating with Freeburg’s crime bosses. Sometimes you’ll find yourself dodging questions in the press room, or even the occasional cross-examination in the witness box. Can you keep this pressure cooker from exploding, at least for long enough to stash away a nice retirement nest egg?
  • Your mission is clear: make $500,000 in 180 days, before Jack Boyd reaches retirement. How? That’s up to you!
  • Decisions, decisions! This Is the Police is all about a dark story and how you react to it. Whatever you decide, your choices will influence the game – and the fate of Jack Boyd.
  • The Good, the Bad, and... the Ugly? The Chief of Freeburg's Police Department deals with all kind of people. It is up to you to find the bad guys, and decide how to deal with them.
  • Carry out your duties. As head of Freeburg PD, Jack deals with all sorts of challenges every day: responding to emergencies, managing his officers, defending the department against City Hall and a corrupt mayor, and much more.
  • Solve Investigations and gather evidence against the criminal gangs of Freeburg.
  • Deal with the competing powers of the city. Everyone offers you favors, and each one comes at a price.
  • Rich and fully voiced story: Jack Boyd is portrayed by Jon St. John, the voice of Duke Nukem.

Lots of fun

i really enjoy this game, yeah it can get repetitive but that's a side considering the amount of choices, where to use resources who to support, which crimes to solve and which to let go. I got this on a cheap sale and definitely don't regret it at all. It's a great play, specially after a long week and you just want something low key that doesn't take any reaction time :-).

I love the game, sadly the story is meh

The story isn't actually all bad, the game just gives up on telling it half way through. But I liked the game, it's very good at doing it's own thing, and it has good minigames as well, the poker game had me playing all night, and that's despite me not being much of a poker player in real life. Definitely recommend if you want to try something quite unusual that's still interesting.

COP GAME SIMULATION !

This Cop game is action packed. You use your mouse and with a click of a button you send your cops to their calls. A call means you respond to a call, there are different levels to each call. A call can be easy so you send your rookies. Another call may need more manpower so you send your whole force. Sometimes you just need 1 or 2 cops with lots of ranking to finish the job ! In this game you work alongside the Mafia, or you can go against them which is not a good idea. If you wanna be a honest cop then get ready to fight the Mafia. There is a lot of choices in the game , you decide what to do. There are consequences to your choices so be careful !! Overall this game is awesome, I play Gangsters PC game and Gangsters 2. I also play Omerta. Hold on to your seat and enjoy the ride ! woop woop! (police sirens)

This game is the best, I am the worst

I started this game with the best of intentions. A few hours into the game and I am the most corrupt Police chief in history. Love this game!

Nice game

Nice game, with a great soundtrack, and nice voice acting. Its not a deep managing game, but i'm loving it. The soundtrack is not available to buy, and is not on mp3 or ogg format inside the game folder, so i cant get it outside the game.
