Police
Police
Police is one of the four main sides in CIT. The police side focuses on tracking wanted players, arresting or killing criminals, defending Armed Robberies and Criminal Events, using law-side tools, and unlocking specialist police jobs and vehicles.
This page covers the police side itself, including joining, arrests, APBs, police jobs, vehicles, law areas, commands, and police progression.
Overview
Police players can:
- track wanted players with the Police Computer
- arrest or kill wanted criminals and send them to jail
- join Armed Robberies and Criminal Events on the law side
- use law-only tools such as the taser, nightstick, APB system, AI partner, and spike strips
- unlock police specialist jobs such as Traffic Officer, Police Detective, Bomb Disposal, Police Medic, and Gang Intervention Unit
- progress through police levels and unlock law perks and vehicles

What Police Do
The police side is used to:

After becoming a cop, the normal police flow is:
