Problem:
What do I do in the station?


Hint:
You need to  attend the briefing in the  briefing room. Don't be
late. Enter the briefing room at  the very start of the game and
wait.  You can  pick up  and read  the newspaper  while you  are
waiting.  Walk behind  each table  to find  your appointed spot.
Listen to the briefing carefully and take notes.


Problem:
What do I do after the briefing?


Hint:
Look at the  pigeon holes on the right wall.  Go into the locker
room and  find your locker.  From your locker  you can get  your
briefcase (called  "case" in the game),  your speed loader, your
weapon and your hand cuffs.


Problem:
What can I do with the computer?


Hint:
Wait until  you have accumulated some  information, like the .45
that will be booked as evidence, later in the game.


Problem:
Each time I try to drive my patrol  car I get a flat tire. How do
I prevent this.


Hint:
You  need  to  perform  the  walk  around  safety  check of your
vehicle. Walk around the car until you receive a message stating
you have  performed the safety  check. If you  never receive the
message, change the direction you are walking.



Problem:
I crash all the time. Is there an easier way to drive?

Hint:
It might take a while to get  the hang of driving in the city of
Lytton. Try  playing in slow  mode and save  your game each time
you change screens.


Problem:
I have monochrome. How do I know when the light is green or red?


Hint:
Watch the  other cars. If  a car passes  through the light  than
most likely it is green. The only exception to this rule will be
a car committing an infraction.


Problem:
I've been  driving around a  long time and  nothing is happening.
When can I bust someone?


Hint:
The more times you stop your car and get out, the longer it will
take to receive a call from dispatch. The first half of the game
is pretty  cut and dry. Keep  cruising and wait for  dispatch to
give you instructions.


Problem:
What do I do at the accident on 4th and Fig?


Hint:
Be sure  to look at everything.  Look inside the car  and try to
help the  man. Radio dispatch whenever  you get new information.
Example: Radio  dispatch when you determine  that a homicide has
been committed. Don't  be afraid to use your  radio often. There
will be an exited young man  in the crowd of rubberneckers. Talk
to him several times. He will provide useful information. If you
don't talk  to the witnesses  several times and  radio often you
will be stuck in this scene forever.


Problem:
How do I pull someone over?


Hint:
First,  you need  to receive  a message  from dispatch. Then you
need to  decide which code  to use. Example:  code 2 or  code 3.
Refer  to   your  policeman's  indoctrination   guide  and  your
reference card for instructions on how to use the various codes.
You must get directly behind the suspect in order to pull him or
her over.

outside of his car, type: "give test". Next type: "cuff man". He
will complain  and ask to be  cuffed in front. Type:  "no". Then
type: "read rights". Next, type: "arrest man". Now you are ready
to take him to jail.


Problem:
How do I prevent the drunk from  killing me when I take his cuffs
off at jail?


Hint:
You need to put your gun in one of the four lockers just outside
of the jailhouse door.


Problem:
How do I deal with the bikers at Wino Willys?


Hint:
Before you enter Wino Willys make sure you have your nightstick.
You must be  physically sitting inside your patrol  car with the

Willys tell the  bikers to move their bikes.  When they surround
you type:  "use nightstick" or use  the appropriate function key

Hint:
There is nothing  for you to do there.  Therefore, you cannot go
to Jefferson High.


Problem:
The light blue Cadillac was reported  in my area.  How  do I know
which car to pull over?


Hint:
Once you receive the message concerning the light blue Cadillac,
stop  your patrol  car and  wait until  you see  a car traveling
faster than the other cars. He will also run red lights at will.


Problem:
How  do I  keep from  getting blown  away by  the guy driving the
light blue Cadillac?


Hint:
Make sure you radio as soon as  you pull him over. Wait for your
backup to arrive  and is in position. Then get  out of your car,
stay behind  the door, and  draw your weapon  making sure it  is
loaded. Type: "get  out of car with hands  up". Next, type: "lie
down". Approach the  suspect and put your gun  away. Type: "cuff
man", then type: "search man". Next type: "read rights". Now you
can arrest him. Type: "arrest man", then type: "move out".


Problem:
How do I get the no bail warrant?


Hint:
You need the file on Hoffman  which is found in the file cabinet
in Laura's office  and the Hoffman FBI most  wanted poster which
is  found on  the clipboard  hanging  on  the wall  in the  same
office. When you get to court immediately tell the clerk it's an
emergency.  Type: "emergency".  After you  present your evidence
the judge  will ask for  more proof. Type:  "flower tattoo above
left nipple. Take the warrant to  the jail across the street. If
the  jailer won't  let you  in  than  start over  and try  to be
quicker. Time is critical.

Immediately upon  entering the park,  draw your weapon  and load
it. Walk into the area with the picnic table and hide behind the
bush on  the left side of  your screen. Make sure  he is totally
hidden. Radio  Laura when you are  completely hidden. Wait until
the  dealers have  completed their  transaction and  radio Laura
again.  Contacting   Laura  twice  is   critical  in  order   to
successfully  capture both  men. Once  they have  finished their
transaction  and you  have  contacted  Laura twice,  type: "halt
police". Failing  to identify yourself as  a police officer will
end  in  tragedy.  After  you  have  identified yourself you can
reveal yourself and apprehend the scum.


Problem:
What do I book the dealers for at jail?


Hint:
Simply type: "drugs".

Problem:

automatically be  promoted to narcotics  providing you submitted
the memo. You will not be able  to submit the memo until you are

back to him. Where is Lt. Morgan?

After you look at the black book  return it. Now look at the .45
that hoffman  had. Take note of  the serial number. Go  into the
computer room and turn the  computer on. Enter the serial number
and  write down  the phone  number of  Lt. Taber.  Go into  your
office  and use  the phone.  When Lt.  Taber answers type: "talk
about Hoffman". Wait in the  office until Laura returns. Then go
back into Lt. Morgan's office and he will be there.

at home.  After the bartender  tells you to  ditch the broad  go
back to your room and call  Lt. Morgan at his office. Lt. Morgan
will tell you to call a cab  for her. Use the phone and dial 411
for  information. When  the operator  asks for  last name, type:

asks me questions at the end of the 2nd poker game?

questions.


Problem:

Death Angel?


Hint:
Try to avoid the banister and use your diagonal keys if you have
them. Make a wide turn on the landing between flights of stairs.


Problem:
Bains keeps blowing me away. How can I win?


Hint:
You need to stay in contact with your backup by using your radio
transmitter pen. After  you reach the top of  the stairs and you
are  all  alone  (Bains  has  passed  into  the hall) radio your
backup. After  Bains enters his  apartment and you  are alone in
the  hall,  radio  your  backup  again.  Then,  while  Bains  is
