“A police officer’s highest authority is the responsibility to preserve life” - The Chief We’re excited to announce that our highly requested Ambulance Update is officially OUT NOW! The new system allows officers to provide first aid to injured civilians encountered while on patrol.

Ambulances can be called to the scene to transport patients, while Coroner vans will attend to fatalities. Both vehicles are fully usable by the player. Entering an Ambulance or Coroner Van activates new vehicle-specific callouts, placing you temporarily in the role of a Paramedic or Coroner tasked with handling medical incidents across the city.

- K-9 Unit Reporting for Duty! - 8 December 2025
The new K-9 system lets officers deploy a fully trained working dog from the precinct kennels. Your partner can be washed, fed and customized there — breed, harness, collars and more — before heading out on patrol. The dog will obey commands, ranging from subduing dangerous attackers, pursuing fleeing suspects, or sniffing out concealed narcotics. A new callout tasks your K-9 with tracking a wanted suspect using a recovered scrap of clothing. If you're on duty without a dog, you can summon a K-9 unit as backup via your radio. A purpose-built Station Wagon variant offers dedicated transport, though the dog will readily ride shotgun in any patrol car!Check out our brand new trailer for the update here 👇
