Fellow Officers,
another week has passed and another patch is ready! Today's update comes with several bug fixes, introduces multiple quality-of-life improvements, resolves a few crashes, and also adds a free surprise gift!
With this update, we're (finally) adjusting the button allocation for enabling & disabling callouts so that it does not interfere with turn signals any longer. However, we are looking to improve this further with the very next patch, especially in terms of accepting & declining – stay tuned!
Happy Independence Day!
The Fourth of July is just around the corner and we believe it's time to celebrate this very special day: The Independence Day Skin is now available for free to everyone on all platforms! This skin can be applied on all patrol cars – so make sure to visit the garage to check it out!
