Police

The Police is a type of NPC in The Sims, The Sims 2 and The Sims 3

The police will come when your alarm goes off or you call them when your house is robbed by a Burglar. In The Sims, the police will arrest the burglar, and he will go peacefully. You will be reimbursed for what was stolen, and will receive a §1000 reward. In The Sims 2, the police will fight the burglar in an attempt to make an arrest. If the policeman wins, you will be reimbursed for your stolen items, and will receive a §500 reward for the capture of the robber. If the policeman loses, the robber will escape with your items.

In The Sims, if your Sims throw a house party that lasts past 11 pm a policeman will arrive to break up the party.

Calling a false alarm to the police station in The Sims results in a stern warning. However, in both The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, you will be fined §500. If you do not have enough money, they will take away one piece of furniture.

The police can also come if your Teen Sim runs away or breaks curfew. After your teen Sim has left his parents can call the police to find him and bring him home. This leaves a bad memory in your teen Sim's memory. Sometimes, the police will also catch a teen Sim who sneaks out, as well.


 * It helps to have a phone in the bedroom near the bed to minimize the distance you have to walk to make the call.


 * If you have a burglar alarm, the cops will come right over. If you have to call them manually, they probably won't arrive in time.

In The Sims 2: University, if a Sim with a low Aspiration bar uses the Genuine Buck's Famous Counterfeiting Machine Aspiration reward, there is a possibility that a police officer will arrive and fine the Sim for counterfeiting money.
 * In The Sims 2, there is a 4:1 chance that the police officer will be a man rather than a woman.
