Jurisdiction

Jurisdiction puts you in charge of the police force in Freemont. You hire and equip officers, set department policies and dispatch units to crimes. Officers carry out their duties according to the rules you establish.

Manage the force

Recruit traffic cops, investigators and SWAT officers, then shape how the department operates through policy, skill filters, training, gear assignments and customizable patrol routes. Unlock special perks and tools to handle crime waves. You can use spike strips to stop fleeing vehicles, send undercover agents to catch criminals in the act and deploy a police helicopter to spot trouble from afar.

Respond to crime

Dispatch units to more than 30 kinds of crimes and events, including property crimes, violence and vice, noise complaints and traffic violations. You can gather intelligence by arresting suspects and work with informants to expose crime across the city. The city’s inhabitants continue their activities whether or not you see them, and the criminal ecosystem responds to your choices: it may retreat in the face of swift justice or grow bolder when you are lenient.

The city’s response

Your decisions affect how the public sees the police. Protecting and serving the public can earn its trust, while failing may turn people against you and cost you your job. Opinion polls and newspapers give you feedback on your performance. The city also has detailed sound design that brings it to life and can offer clues to hidden criminal activity.
