Quick answer

You can become a cop by enlisting at Looty Bay Police Station when slots are available. Police receive standard equipment and a patrol vehicle. The role provides a different route through the city’s economy and a different set of losses from criminal play.

How to start police service

  1. Go to the Police Station and check whether a slot is open.
  2. Review the issued gear and vehicle before starting a patrol.
  3. Fight crime and seize contraband to earn police income.
  4. Inspect badge progression and the equipment it unlocks.
  5. Watch for calls for backup when the department needs more officers.

Official support says responding to those calls can temporarily improve gear and pay. It does not publish a fixed pay rate or guarantee a slot whenever you visit.

Understand equipment progression

MechanicWhat is documented
Standard loadoutIssued when enlisting
Badge progressionBetter equipment becomes available
Fresh-server patrolsStart with pistols under the launch changes
Server ageBetter patrol gear unlocks as the server develops
Police badge purchasesSelection depends on the district where you live

The launch patch also increased officer respawn times, with a longer delay after consecutive deaths. Use the dated patch with the support guide; an older playtest description alone may omit those balance changes.

What criminals should know about an arrest

Surrender can preserve equipped gear while bag contents are confiscated. If the criminal has banked money, they can offer a bribe. Keeping the bag depends on the officer accepting; an offer is not automatic success.

Officers have separate personal and department equipment rules on death. Do not infer that a patrol loadout can be treated exactly like a purchased criminal loadout.

Can I choose police with no free slots?

The help article makes availability conditional on an open slot.

Is a bribe guaranteed to work?

No. The described outcome requires the officer to accept it.

How much do cops earn per hour?

No verified comparable hourly income is provided here. Current activity and support-call conditions affect the decision; check the game’s displayed information.
