Hey guys!
Thank you all so much for your feedback. We’re working hard to address all the issues and to make the game more fun to play. In this update we’ve made a lot of balance improvements, we hope you’ll enjoy them.
  • You get rewarded more for arresting criminals and punished less for missing them.
  • Professionalism requirements are lower for all missions now
  • You starting team of cops is much better now
  • Your cops don’t lose stamina points just for coming in to work, only for actually doing something
  • Your cops fully recover their stamina after a day off
  • Your cops don’t lose stamina points for responding to false alarms
  • Tab prices for cops and equipments are revised
  • Your cops don’t come up with excuses and stay home as often as they used to
  • Your cops don’t drink as much as they used to (weird, right?)


Bug Fixes:
  • Fixes an issue in investigation screen that would result in duplicated frames and block progress
  • Some fixes to text


Installing the update on macOS:

if you are getting an error message while launching the game, you need to remove and reinstall the game. This seems to be an issue caused by Steam client on macOS.

This Is the Police 2: Out Now on Early Parole

Vienna, Austria/Minsk, Belarus, July 31st, 2018: What's wrong with our publishing buttons? Somebody write us a ticket: After forgetting to press the ‘Go Live’ button for the original This Is The Police PC release, this time we pressed it a bit too early… So ignore our previous 2 August release date: This Is the Police 2 is out… now! And that two-day head start is good, as Sharpwood desperately needs a new Sheriff. We hope you’re ready to report for duty.
