Fellow officers,
Today, we’re happy to finally release The Garage Update, now available to all players of Police Simulator: Patrol Officers!
If you missed our last announcement post, here’s a recap of what to expect in this update:
The Garage ????
The police garage expands all precincts of the Brighton PD and serves as the main hub for each car patrol shift.
Parking Lot Management ????️
Manage the precinct’s parking lot: Four parking spots are available at each precinct, and you can adjust every single one of them. You have a favorite patrol car and want it to be the default patrol car of the PD? Just fill up all spots with the same model! You prefer to have some variety? Select different ones. The choice is yours.
Tool Management ????
Each patrol car has a specific capacity for carrying tools and that amount varies from model to model. Now you can freely decide which ones you want to bring along. Fill your trunk up however you want and assign the tools of your choice to the respective slots. You can even select the same tool in all slots.
Repair your Patrol Cars ????️
You had an accident? In the past, your patrol car was either slightly or even completely wrecked in the aftermath. That sucks! :(
But now, you can repair them in the middle of the shift and don't need to wait for the next one. You can either repair them quickly with the press of a button when standing in front of the garage, or do it inside.
Car Balancing ⚖️
We completely overhauled all the patrol vehicles and improved controls across the board. Please let us know what you think!

Introducing: The Compact Police Vehicle ????
Also releasing today is the Compact Police Vehicle (CPV), an incredibly cool new patrol car available as a separate and fully optional DLC! By purchasing it, you support the further development of Police Simulator: Patrol Officers, and we're incredibly grateful for it! :)
Should you own the CPV, you gain access to it from your very first shift, even on foot patrols! This Compact Police Vehicle is authorized for driving in parks and along narrow streets, allowing you to move throughout Brighton quickly while ensuring law and order are always respected. Due to its adorable size, it also serves as an excellent photo opportunity for the city's tourism industry!
The Compact Police Vehicle is available at a small price of just 2,99€ / $2,99 USD or the equivalent in your region:
