After earning some regard and trust for handling these duties, you are given the task of performing greater responsibilities in a squad car, which has you catching speeders and chasing down wanted criminals. You start as a foot patrol officer, ticketing minor offenses like littering and jaywalking and dispensing traffic tickets for improper driving incidents. The goal of the game is to dispense law and order to several districts of the city and work your way up to greater responsibilities while providing a model of good behavior and exemplary duty to earn greater authority. The player is a new member of the Brighton Police in the fictional state of Franklin (said to be on the East Coast of the United States). Police Simulator: Patrol Officers is an attempt to disprove this idea, with generally good results. Instead of guardians of the public order, they are viewed as brutal thugs with badges as opposed to defenders of the law, and the same outrage has called for police defunding due to the belief the police do more harm than good. This preview is written during a time when there is a decidedly negative perception of police. I’d like to thank astragon Entertainment for the preview key to this title. Number of Players: Singleplayer, Multiplayer (planned)
