Description
Dive into a deep story of corruption, crime and intrigue. Take the role of gritty Police Chief Jack Boyd, and come face to face with the ugly underbelly of Freeburg, a city spiraling the drain. Will Jack reach his retirement with a nice stack of bills, or will he end up broken … or worse?
Manage your staff, respond to emergencies, and investigate crimes in a city on the brink of chaos. The mafia underworld maneuvers behind the scenes, sinking their claws ever deeper into the city, even as the mayor is ready to exploit every situation to his political advantage.
Choose your approach to each situation as it unfolds. Sometimes you’ll be responding to a developing crisis at a crime scene, or negotiating with Freeburg’s crime bosses. Sometimes you’ll find yourself dodging questions in the press room, or even the occasional cross-examination in the witness box. Can you keep this pressure cooker from exploding, at least for long enough to stash away a nice retirement nest egg?
-
Your mission is clear: make $500,000 in 180 days before Jack Boyd reaches retirement. How? That’s up to you!
-
Decisions, decisions! This Is the Police is all about a dark story and how you react to it. Whatever you decide, your choices will influence the game – and the fate of Jack Boyd.
-
The Good, the Bad, and… the Ugly? The Chief of Freeburg’s Police Department deals with all kind of people. It is up to you to find the bad guys and decide how to deal with them.
-
Carry out your duties. As head of Freeburg PD, Jack deals with all sorts of challenges every day: responding to emergencies, managing his officers, defending the department against City Hall and a corrupt mayor, and much more.
-
Solve Investigations and gather evidence against the criminal gangs of Freeburg.
-
Deal with the competing powers of the city. Everyone offers you favors, and each one comes at a price.

This Is the Police Reviews
We have the game on PC, but never finished it, so we decided to buy the mobile version so we could play it. Its a great game! Additionally, ignore the racially insensitive reviews as this game is designed to make you face moral choices. If you are highly sensitive to and cannot appreciate social commentary, you may want to avoid this game.
Story sim game that lets you choose. We dont typically stay on one game for too long but we play this quite often.
Way longer than we were anticipating with a mostly gripping story, that gets better as it goes along, and some interesting characters and awesome music! Gameplay is enjoyable but tedious at times, although it does occasionally throw a few neat wrinkles in. We do understand where people are coming from with their complaints about the games rather cold depiction of racism, but we do think they were most likely trying to reflect reality in the game. You can definitely ignore the mayors directives with no penalty at all if you do your job well. Now, Im on to the sequel! Thanks for making such a quality game here devs!
Love this game! Super fun management.
We were a little scared to get it after seeing all the bad comments but it worked just fine for us. Fun game.
We dont care what anyone says, we understand about it being a straight and narrow storyline but this game mentions a FEW different times about blacks. Firing all blacks, black gangster etc. We were willing to ignore the first comment and charge it to the storyline but we agree with the person who mentioned it as racially insensitive. Now, on the positive side, this game is fun to play, it has great developments, graphics, and does have a good storyline. The only thing we wasnt too big of a fan about was the comments made about blacks. We said what we said bc if they mentioned your race throughout the entire storyline as gangsters and in derogatory ways as such, you will feel a bit offended too.
Its a interesting game . Well thought out , good story , intriguing on multiple levels but its darn hard . Its too challenging we think . You have to balance the near impossible . Changing rosters , meeting needs of your cops, city hall, prosecutors office, the mob, etc. It feels like no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try and balance so that no one is tooo unhappy, you still end up with no staff , little income , and bigger demands. Im on a second play through and its going a little better , but our last play through was Brutal. Either the prosecutors office screws you over by taking all your paychecks and cutting your workforce in half , or city hall does. Then the serial killer comes around and you have 4 cops per shift and a couple detectives . Not enough to investigate the crimes . Game over. And not enough cops to stop crime . This play through we have done better , but only by placating the city halls ridiculous demands . And limiting how often we piss the mob off. O and you also cant hardly do that and not have the labor Union lambosting you for firing employees for no good reason . Now blaming city hall for that during press conferences helps. We dont see how we are going to have 500 Million bucks to beat the game , when we only have like 30000 right now . Ill never beat the game . Also we dont really enjoy the investigations very much . They are tedious the deeper you get in the game , if you even have the detectives left to investigate to begin with . Its a grind guys, and the game has zero moral redeeming values. No heroes . Its dark , and hard.
The sandbox needs to be updated and made more easier in the starting days to be honest.
We play the Game and while it was fun and all our phone died and then all our progress hours of game just went to zero.
It would be one thing if you gave a choice in how to respond. But the moment the game told us we had to fire everyone all black employees we were out.
Im using chinese. Too small!!
We cant play this game due to frequent inappropriate handling of race and racial issues. We were told to fire all black employees from the police department. We were tipped off by a mobster that some black gangster was robbing him. Neither was appropriate. Look, this is a game about the police. This is a topic that in the USA carries a heavy history of racial tension. Im not going to enjoy playing a police chief in racially insensitive game.
We purchased both This Is the Police and This Is the Police 2 and they were some of the greatest games we’ve ever played. We wanted to revisit the game on our phone, but once purchased it won’t download. Yes, we have WiFi and the newest iOS version but it still won’t download. TL;DR: Buy it on Steam, not the App Store (also we recommend the sequel more)
