About This Is the Police
This Is the Police is a story-driven game about corruption, crime and intrigue in Freeburg, a city sliding toward chaos. You play Police Chief Jack Boyd and have 180 days before his retirement to make $500,000. Your decisions shape the story and Jack’s fate as he tries to reach retirement with money set aside—or faces a worse end.
Run Freeburg PD
As head of the police department, you manage your staff, respond to emergencies and defend the department against City Hall and its corrupt mayor. You investigate crimes, solve cases and gather evidence against Freeburg’s criminal gangs. The city’s competing powers offer favors, each with a price, while the mafia expands its influence behind the scenes and the mayor looks for ways to use events to his political advantage.
Make difficult choices
You decide how to handle each situation as it unfolds. You may respond to a crisis at a crime scene, negotiate with crime bosses, dodge questions in the press room or face cross-examination in court. You also decide who the bad guys are and what to do about them; your choices affect both the game and Jack’s fate.
Jack Boyd’s story
Jack’s fully voiced story follows him as he handles the pressures of the job and tries to secure his retirement. Jon St. John voices Jack Boyd.
