Aerial Patrol Configuration

Select a 24-hour helicopter deployment when starting your shift. Airborne surveillance enables rapid response to citywide incidents while accumulating bonus multipliers for timely resolutions. Maintain constant aerial movement to intercept criminal activities efficiently.

Crime Response Tactics

Prioritize accepting every dispatch alert while coordinating ground units. For auto thefts, accumulate two pursuit bars before deploying intercept vehicles. Time spike strip placements strategically—even near-misses disrupt suspect routes and create arrest opportunities.

Vehicle Pursuit Tactics, Spike Strip Deployment

Foot Chase Management

During pedestrian incidents like muggings, immediately summon backup upon gaining one command bar. Focus on saturating the area with officers rather than direct vehicle support—their numerical advantage typically overwhelms fleeing suspects.

Suspect Apprehension Methods, Police Backup Coordination

Maintain constant activity throughout your extended patrol—successful resolution of consecutive crimes builds an XP multiplier that significantly boosts your final score. Efficient coordination between aerial oversight and ground forces typically yields 12,000-14,000 XP per optimized shift.
