[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Fellow Officers,[/p][p]With the upcoming Contraband Expansion, the area in which you are serving will be expanded once again. Due to unexpected staff shortages, the Brighton Police Department has been asked to assist with border duties.[/p][p]The border districts are completely separate areas on the outskirts of the State of Franklin for security reasons – but they are still connected to the highway network known from the Highway Patrol Expansion. This means: When you start a border shift, you will be transferred straight to the new districts. How convenient! And when a pursuit happens, you follow the fleeing drivers from the border stations onto the highway...[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Border control takes place at two different border inspection areas: At the primary inspection area, all vehicles must stop so that our agents can perform the necessary checks, including verifying documents such as passports, visas, driving licences, firearm licences and cargo declarations.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]If there is any discrepancy in the information provided, the affected vehicles will be redirected to the secondary inspection area, where additional checks will be conducted – including searching vehicle trunks, interiors and engines for contraband.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Additional questioning takes place at the desk in the new administrative building. You may be asked to verify the travel purpose, cargo information, or permit details. Biometric kiosks are also present![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Is someone violating the law? You've found a wanted criminal? Send them to the arrest cells at the border, where they will await further proceedings. As a border officer, you can't take any risks.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Watchtowers have been placed at the very edge – and here, you must observe the safety of the border fence from a whole-new perspective. Scan the area with your binoculars and report any potential trespassers![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The border district is full of additional buildings intended to support the staff working in the inspection areas and precincts – including motels, supermarkets and gas stations. Just like within the city, dynamic situations can happen here at any time – be prepared for callouts![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The Contraband Expansion will be available on November 19, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One at a price of 19.99€ / $19.99.[/p][p]It will also be included in the Season Pass – so if you own it already, you receive it for free at no further cost![/p][p]More details about the Contraband Expansion will be shared in the coming weeks![/p][p][/p][p]Your Police Simulator Team[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

[p][/p][p]Fellow Officers,[/p][p]with the release of The Mission Update, we have made a few changes to the laws of Brighton. In preparation for the upcoming Contraband Expansion, our goal was to align justifications throughout the entire game more effectively. Additionally, we aimed to streamline procedures further to make them more accurate in comparison to their real-life counterparts.[/p][p]Since the update was released, many of you have shared your feedback on these changes. First of all: Thank you for expressing your opinions so clearly. We are aware that some of the changes have been very drastic and that others have not been explained well in the handbook. Our communication of these changes has also led to confusion, as we barely addressed them in the official changelogs.[/p][p]Procedures are always part of routines. Breaking up routines can be very frustrating. In Police Simulator terms: Losing CP isn't fun.[/p][p][/p][h3]That's why we plan to revert all changes and reinstate the same laws and rules as before the update.[/h3][p][/p][p]To be exact, the following changes will be reverted to their previous state:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We'll have more details to share very soon – including the exact time where the update containing the changes will arrive.[/p][p]Once again, we sincerely apologize for all inconveniences.[/p][p]Thank you,[/p][p]Your Police Simulator Team[/p]
