It's time to build a police station to patrol your city street! Dangerous criminals are on the loose, catch them to earn great rewards.
Once you have reached level 10 you can take full advantage of this fun new feature.
To get started, you need a police station.
If you already have one you don't need to build another. Once you have a fully built police station click on it to start the upgrade.
You can gather the materials you need by requesting them, when your friends send them to you from the free gifts page, or by purchasing them with City Cash.
Once you have completed upgrading your Police Station you will notice new special types of citizens patrolling your streets: Police Officers.
You will get two(2) of these once you finish your first upgrade, and one(1) additional officer with each addition upgrade thereafter. If you hover your mouse over an officer you will recognize one of you neighbors! Your neighbors will be selected at random as your police officers, if you have less neighbors than the total number of officers for your Station level Sam will fill-in the empty spots.
If you click on your Police Station you will notice a new menu come up.
The first tab is a list of your officers, the next is a list of the bandits, and the last one is a list of available upgrades.
Every time you collect from a business there's a chance of Bandit showing-up, click on that bandit to catch him and earn a reward.
*Note: You have to have an active officer in order to catch a bandit. Bandits do not actually steal from your businesses, your earnings remain the same.
You can can see the list of all the reward different types of bandits will get you under the "Bandits" tab in the Police Station menu.
Each time one of your officers catches a bandit they will need to get some sleep, in order to use that officer again you will need a donut to wake them back up (otherwise they will automatically wake up in 72 hours). You can ask your friends for donuts or purchase one(1) for 5 City Cash.
You can ask for a donut once per hour and only when you need one, once you have received a donut it's used automatically (you will have to refresh the game if you receive it while playing). You can only receive as many donuts as you need, you cannot store them to use for later. For example, if you have two(2) cops that are asleep you can collect a maximum of two(2) donuts. When you post asking for donuts up to 10 friends can send you one and receive one for helping.
You can also upgrade your Police station from the third tab in the same menu.
In order to upgrade it you will have to catch the specified number of bandits or use City Cash; and starting from level 2 your officers will pick up bandits in police cars!
