Thank you all so much for your feedback, and please keep it coming so that we can make further improvements! We are currently working on additional improvements and aim to release some more updates for bug fixing, polishing, and improvements in April and May. Also, we never actually got around to showing you the First Aid Update Trailer - enjoy! Have a look at the full changelog here: Changelog - Update 13.3. Gameplay Garage now has a foot patrol state so CPV can be customized (if owned) during foot patrol. The foot patrol skin selection is now separate from car patrols Improved feedback for first aid Applying bandages before performing CPR is not valid Upon Successful CPR: NPC enters slightly injured state and bandages can be applied; if CPR is performed again, it is unjustified and triggers intuition message, NPC can be interviewed and can be dismissed to medic. Upon Unsuccessful CPR: NPC enters unconscious breathing state, Bandages can be applied while NPC is laying down and CPR can no longer be performed, NPC cannot be interviewed and must be dismissed to medic. There is now an intuition feedback that tells the Player about the Medic waiting for a patient to be released when the ambulance is called. Crash Fixes Fixed random crashes Fixed occasion of a crash when not taking care of critically injured NPCs within certain time Fixed crash when using hand gestures Fixed crash reason when accidents despawn Fixed crash reason when patrol vehicle is too far away from roads Bug Fixes Gameplay Fixed CP loss when driving on streets next to parks Fixed intuition feedback getting triggered to collect debris which actually can’t be done Fixed CPR continues if tutorial popup appears while on it Fixed occasions when car shifts were available before first patrol vehicle was unlocked Fixed handling in garage for foot patrol shifts for CPV Fixed injured NPCs can perform violations Fixed minimap zoom for co-drivers Fixed progression issues with accidents and major crime scenes Fixed plenty of unrecoverable stuck states for ambulances when player is walking away during procedure and stuff gets despawned Fixed issue with callout progress calculation Fixed some evidence in accidents couldn’t be photographed anymore Fixed photographic detecting evidence which isn’t visible Fixed issue that car patrol shifts aren’t proposed anymore Fixed issue that player has to apologize for accidents although traffic vehicle rammed into player from certain angles Patrol Car & Traffic Car Fixed very annoying issue that traffic vehicles often drive into the player patrol vehicle while driving Fixed Cruiser Patrol Car Bumper Light Fixed issue with some car attachments being sudd...This Saturday: First gameplay footage from the Highway Patrol Expansion!Mar 22, 2024 - Community Announcementsx Fellow Officers, A world premiere awaits you: This Saturday, we'll provide a FIRST look & EXCLUSIVE gameplay of the Highway Patrol Expansion.

Tune in to the astragon PAX Showcase to see the Highway Patrol Expansion in action - it will start on March 23, 2024 at 4:00pm EDT / 8:00pm GMT / 9:00pm CET. 🔔 Press the bell on the video to bookmark the stream! We'll be joined by Police Simulator fan and simulation expert Raptor who will host the stream on his channel! You can also tune in on the astragon channel and on the PAX2 Twitch channel. See you! 👋Pick Up The Chase: Introducing The Highway Patrol Expansion!Mar 18, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsFellow Officers, It’s time to increase the speed, explore the outskirts of Brighton, and elevate your responsibilities – welcome to the Highway Patrol Expansion, coming to Police Simulator: Patrol Officers this Summer! Police Simulator will become bigger, better, faster. And today, we’re giving you a first look at what’s inside! Brighton is growing! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/1ded29dc116a5e773301ded1593a6087ef5cf1d5.png The Highway Patrol Expansion will extend both the jurisdiction of the Brighton Police Department and your duties as an ever-helpful patrol officer. As the name of the expansion so discreetly suggests, you will finally be able to leave the inner city and stroll on the vast highway that surrounds the entirety of Brighton to explore the wider State of Franklin. With the expansion, the map will be bigger than ever before – with entrance and exit ramps, overpasses, interchanges, and everything else you’d rightfully expect. From precincts at the highway to gas stations, motels, rest areas, and weigh stations – all these new places must be policed by you as a highway patrol officer. Let’s speed things up! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/44ac6c791a3dbca29206df843ca15c5a6e71ebb9.jpg The highways surrounding Brighton offer new challenges as they are known for being fast-paced and eventful. For the very first time, we’re introducing car chases into the game: Intense highway chases are inevitable, and when fleeing suspects do not obey, requesting roadblocks, executing PIT maneuvers, utilizing the brand-new spike strips, and employing other strategies may become necessary. After all, the grand reopening of the highway also leads to a concerning surge of car thefts, while drunk drivers pose an even greater risk for other users of the road. The highway also introduces other new dangers: Larger accidents can include fires you must extinguish with the brand-new fire extinguisher, and scattered debris that you must pick up. After all, it’s your responsibility to ensure that not only the streets of Brighton but also the highways of Franklin are always safe! Check the trucks, assist the drivers {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/c21051cba5723f0d19eab979ab3ded6e2064a55c.jpg People need goods – and of course, they are brought from A to B by our incredible freight drivers! For safety reasons, several regulations exist which must be met by all drivers at all times. At the weigh stations, you have to investigate if the trucks are still within the legal limits – after all, there’s only so much a truck is allowed to transport. In addition, papers must be inspected, and the truck should be checked for potentially illegal items. Along the highway, several drivers will require your assistance. A broken-down car? Find out what’s going on! Someone is driving suspiciously? Make sure they’re not DUI! The citizens of Franklin will be thankful for your ongoing commitment.

The highlight of this update features the new content addition “First Aid” along with numerous enhancements to improve your playing experience! Furthermore, we have released a brand new DLC vehicle lighting up the city at night! Let’s dive right into it! Perform First Aid on patients! 🩹 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/0e0f79c738afe44739fb8c70f6aef580d98294d2.jpg The injured require your assistance! When arriving at a major accident scene and encountering injured people, the proper approach of the situation is crucial. Take care of patients by performing first aid and interview them about the accident! This update gives you the opportunity to not only gather witness testimonies but to perform essential first aid, stabilize their condition and prepare them for transport to the hospital by the medical professionals. For balancing purposes, the first aid feature is only available upon receiving 7 duty stars in district 2. Let me treat your injuries! In order to properly treat the patients, you need to be aware of their current health conditions. These include: slightly injured, critically injured and being unconscious, and critically injured and being in a state of cardiac arrest. Treat slightly injured people by applying bandages and interview them as accidents witnesses afterwards to gain more information on the accident! Critically injured patients are not available for verbal interaction since they are not responsive in their condition. Furthermore, distinct treatments are necessary for critically injured patients to stabilize them effectively: Accident victims that are unconscious are taken care of by only applying bandages and calling the medics for assistance, since they do not require CPR! For patients being in a state of cardiac arrest, the top priority is to administer CPR promptly in order to resuscitate them! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/23671ea051073cb47ffe8e1bf70ada86003ca5d0.jpg You’re not dying on me! To perform CPR on an injured person you must be precise and effective! Engage in a minigame featuring a pattern on an action line, requiring exact timing to hit the action button within a defined threshold to earn points! Gather a sufficient number of points to successfully complete the minigame and stabilize the patient. Once this condition is achieved, further treatment with bandages can be done! If the CPR attempt is unsuccessful, the injured person will lose consciousness while still regaining their breath. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/f2ebd13e27eda2c746aee6d76ec4fbc93955eb24.png This patient should be carried on a stretcher: Mark the injured for dismissal once they have been properly treated, their condition has been stabilized and you have completed any feasible accident interviews with slightly injured patients!

It’s time to save lives! Rush to the accident scene and help injured people: The First Aid Update is coming on March 12 to all platforms! This update mainly focuses on the new content feature “First Aid” and a whole lot of quality-of-life improvements. Let’s look at the details! The injured require First Aid!⛑️ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/0e0f79c738afe44739fb8c70f6aef580d98294d2.jpg You encounter a major accident with injured people? Take care of the patients, perform first aid and save lives! Not only will you have to gather witness testimonies, but with the upcoming update, you’ll also need to provide essential first aid and call medical professionals to take them to the hospital once their condition has been stabilized! This feature will unlock upon achieving 7 duty stars in district 2 for balancing purposes. How are you feeling? The accident patients you will encounter can be in three different health states: slightly injured, critically injured and being unconscious, and critically injured and being in a state of cardiac arrest. Slightly injured NPCs can be treated by applying bandages, after which they can be interviewed as accident witnesses. Critically injured patients will not be responsive and will therefore not be available for verbal interaction. The patients being critically injured also must be treated differently, as unconscious patients do not require CPR and would be taken care of by applying bandages and calling the medics for assistance. Patients being in a state of cardiac arrest need to be resuscitated by performing CPR on them as the top priority! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/23671ea051073cb47ffe8e1bf70ada86003ca5d0.jpg Save a life! Perform CPR and engage in a minigame featuring a pattern on an action line, requiring precise timing within the defined threshold to earn points. A successful completion of the minigame by accumulating a sufficient number of points will stabilize the patient, allowing further treatment with bandages. A failed CPR attempt here results in the patient losing consciousness while still regaining their breath. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/579e6634ba2cbc3f8f808f998b3cac3a9ce53680.jpg Did someone call for an ambulance? As soon as you have performed first aid and finished any possible interviews with the patients, proceed to mark them for dismissal and request assistance from the medical team, which now consists of two medics, who can carry the patients on a stretcher. An ambulance will be able to transport up to 3 patients at once, that have been marked before. Quality of Life Improvements🫀 In addition to introducing new content, we will also be implementing a bunch of bug fixes, performance optimizations and gameplay adjustments.

Thank you all so much for your feedback and please keep it coming so that we can ship further improvements! Have a look at the full changelog here: Changelog - Update 11.3.0 Gameplay Fixed an issue that caused players to be in a shift where no callouts appear Moved some crime scene evidence that caused photographing them to not be possible Fixed CP Loss for towing illegally parked cars with the MPV on sidewalks NPCs Added collision checks for poles so that NPCs won't walk into a crime scene anymore Traffic Cars Fixed an issue with taxis leaving behind appendages (there are still some edge cases where this might happen, we're working on those as well) UI Fixed the display of a 'carnapping' icon which is not yet intended to be in the game (*wink wink*) Crashes Fixed a crash that occurred after placing a tool Fixed a crash related to drug dealer callouts Fixed some other miscellaneous crashes Your Police Simulator Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/997010 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2513250/Police_Simulator_Patrol_Officers_Multipurpose_Police_Vehicle_DLC/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2009550/Police_Simulator_Patrol_Officers_Urban_Terrain_Vehicle_DLC/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2199030/Police_Simulator_Patrol_Officers_Compact_Police_Vehicle_DLC/The Crime Scene Update is out now!Oct 19, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/588bdfdefb9a57c57fffb6e7cb26717fe12d2ef1.jpg Patient officers👮‍♂️, your wait is no longer! Rush to the scene now and make sure the evidence is safely secured: The Crime Scene Update is now waiting for you across all platforms! Oh, and we're now also Steam Deck verified! You can now enjoy the highly requested crime scene improvements and be more involved in resolving crimes than ever before… {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/49f92147546a2d7cac128236a025b5b664ab5188.jpg So far, as an officer you have been given a rather shallow approach to solving a crime scene in either knowing or not knowing about the suspect's identity. That changes now with the new Crime Scene Update giving you greater responsibilities and advanced, versatile tasks. Officers, we are in need of your skills... During “Car Patrols” you can get new and advanced crime scene callouts and are made directly responsible for the initial procedures and safety assurance as the first responder arriving at the scene. Poles & Tapes⚠️ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/f6f951dc258df8f475c448ce33e679b5d3843a1e.jpg Stop right there, this is a crime scene! Creating a safe environment is a crucial element of police duty. With the new securing poles you now have a practical assistant on hand to secure a crime scene properly to prohibit potential compromise of evidence and calm down the scene for potential victims. In terms of placing they are similar to cones: You can place them at the desired location on the ground by a simple button press while holding them in your hands. Tape automatically connects the poles you place, allowing you to keep the uninvolved away from the crime scene. But how are the crime scenes visible in the dark? Wait.. is there something shiny back there? That’s right! Securing poles are reflecting light during the night for the sake of safety. From the trunk of your patrol car you can access the poles and tapes and add them to your inventory when engaging a crime scene. Via the garage you can also assign them to the trunk itself! Preserve the evidence🧬🔍 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/c97a9437940f64c59dabdb6690a0804fd4fdcda9.jpg Our environment can tell us many things about the stories that people are involved in. Just as people leave traces, a crime scene can offer all kinds of different hints on what might have happened or what caused the incident. As a police officer it is your responsibility to preserve, mark and document every piece of evidence that can be later used in court by other law enforcement agencies. Meaning, you play an important role in solving the crimes, of which crime scenes you investigate. The brand-new evidence markers are assisting you with marking the evidence with numbers by being placed next to each item on the ground. To document these items you simply need to take photographs which are then advancing the progression at the scene. These photographs though have to be taken before any kind of change or interaction with the scene to not dist...The Crime Scene Update is coming on October 19, 2023!Oct 12, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/cc07e39218e20382d36b3b458e6f9cb9105c49f1.jpg Fellow officers, activate your sirens, rush to the scene and ensure evidence is secured: The Crime Scene Update is coming on October 19, 2023 to Police Simulator: Patrol Officers across all platforms! With this update, we focus entirely on improved crime scenes which have been highly requested by players. Let's dive right into it! Officers, we require your assistance... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/4a755b40a66cc63ef746b36e175f1eabbd9c29ec.jpg A robbery? An assault? Up until now, the process of approaching a crime scene has been rather straightforward. You arrive, interview a witness and either you know who the suspect is, or you don't – and if you do, it's time to look out for the wanted suspect. With The Crime Scene Update, your responsibilities will grow and your tasks will advance: With the new and advanced crime scene callouts, which can appear during 'Car Patrols', you are directly responsible for the safety and initial procedures as the first responder arriving at the scene. Poles & Tapes {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/cdbaeb5668fa0bdb16de37d09ed1190788090f8b.jpg No trespassing allowed! To create a safer environment for all involved parties, especially potential victims, and to prohibit potential compromise of evidence, you must properly secure the crime scene. To assist you in this task, we're adding a new tool: Securing poles! Placing the poles is fairly similar to cones: When holding them in your hands, it's just a simple button press to put them at the desired location on the ground. If you then place another pole nearby, a tape will automatically connect these poles, creating a barrier for NPCs who will now actively avoid the crime scene. Possibly the best way to keep the pertinent evidence uncontaminated, we would say. You love shiny stuff? Yeah, so do we. That's why securing poles will reflect light during night shifts, all for the sake of safety! And because it looks cool. But please don't tell our bosses. Poles and tapes can be accessed and added to your inventory via the trunk of your patrol car. You can of course assign them to the trunk itself via the garage! Secure the evidence {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/28a4ac200304e9d280c33247df9eb2e095b2ce72.jpg Every crime scene tells a little story through its environment: What could possibly have happened here? Who was responsible for the mess? And why can't they just leave this little food stand alone, ffs?! Before you start your investigation, you are fully in the dark. Your job is to help other law enforcement agencies to solve crimes by providing them with evidence that can later be used in court. That's why you need to secure, mark and document the evidence so that other parties can proceed with their work. In your trunk, alongside the new poles, you will also discover brand-new evidence markers which can be placed next to each item on the ground. They will then be marked with a number and must be photographed with...There has been a delay…Oct 2, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/0e11dfb6ac1e1d9bbeb382c9fde6ab357a933aed.png Fellow Officers, As many of you have noticed, there has been a delay in updates for Police Simulator: Patrol Officers.

Our development team has been working tirelessly to bring you a high-quality update that enhances your gameplay experience and addresses various issues reported by the community.

We will keep you updated on our progress and hope to be able to provide a release date soon! 🙏 In the meantime, here’s a little sneak peek of the Crime Scene Update... 👀 We are actively working towards the release! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/bad470cf7361037022b7fbcba4e06e4c8f8505f2.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/04b3ac9435390c7a429c0920858c9b88f882ac97.jpg We really appreciate your patience, continued support and dedication in providing us with your bug reports, suggestions and content ideas so that together we can create the best Police Simulator out there.

We can't wait to be back to Cologne - see you there! 👋 Now available: The Garage UpdateJul 18, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/abfca6d82dbc732f12759cfec44dd117707e783c.jpg Fellow officers, Today, we’re happy to finally release The Garage Update, now available to all players of Police Simulator: Patrol Officers! If you missed our last announcement post, here’s a recap of what to expect in this update: The Garage 🏢 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/40b41c149ffcd705fd29a669379ecf0c4fc57090.jpg The police garage expands all precincts of the Brighton PD and serves as the main hub for each car patrol shift. Parking Lot Management 🅿️ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/4e7a816700daef35acd1f1e88b455d5b1a1f4cbd.jpg Manage the precinct’s parking lot: Four parking spots are available at each precinct, and you can adjust every single one of them. You have a favorite patrol car and want it to be the default patrol car of the PD? Just fill up all spots with the same model! You prefer to have some variety? Select different ones. The choice is yours. Tool Management 🧰 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/5226a4043c4926281b003b2aa5a022c3008a9b12.jpg Each patrol car has a specific capacity for carrying tools and that amount varies from model to model. Now you can freely decide which ones you want to bring along. Fill your trunk up however you want and assign the tools of your choice to the respective slots. You can even select the same tool in all slots. Repair your Patrol Cars 🛠️ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/3305ca18f3aa7267b2bf3c12af430e6024c6cd49.jpg You had an accident? In the past, your patrol car was either slightly or even completely wrecked in the aftermath. That sucks! :( But now, you can repair them in the middle of the shift and don't need to wait for the next one. You can either repair them quickly with the press of a button when standing in front of the garage, or do it inside. Car Balancing ⚖️ We completely overhauled all the patrol vehicles and improved controls across the board. Please let us know what you think! Experience the new update in our release trailer: Introducing: The Compact Police Vehicle 🚔 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39820260/384af8f03668aa1e28ce5fdffb63acdf27b774a8.jpg Also releasing today is the Compact Police Vehicle (CPV), an incredibly cool new patrol car available as a separate and fully optional DLC! By purchasing it, you support the further development of Police Simulator: Patrol Officers, and we're incredibly grateful for it! :) Should you own the CPV, you gain access to it from your very first shift, even on foot patrols! This Compact Police Vehicle is authorized for driving in parks and along narrow streets, allowing you to move throughout Brighton quickly while ensuring law and order are always respected. Due to its adorable size, it also serves as an excellent photo opportunity for the city's tourism industry! The Compact Police Vehicle is available at a small price of just 2,99€ / $2,99 USD or the equivalent in your region: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2199030/Police_Simulator_Patrol_Officers_Compact_Police_Vehicle_DLC/ Enough talking, now it’s...
