Police

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

The police will come when an alarm goes off, or when a Sim calls them while a Burglar is on the lot. In The Sims, the police will arrest the burglar, and he will go peacefully. The family 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 police officer wins, the family will be reimbursed for any stolen items, and will receive a §500 reward for the capture of the robber. If the policeman loses, the robber will escape with whatever he or she managed to steal.

In The Sims: House Party, if Sims throw a loud party that lasts past 11 pm, the police will come to break up the party. In The Sims: Livin' Large, if a Sim uses the Concoctinator Chemistry Set outdoors during school hours, a police officer will come and fine the Sim because of the smell. Oddly, this will happen if a Sim drinks a potion outdoors during those hours, even if it was made outside of school hours. If a Sim with low logic skill uses the set, there is a chance that a failed potion with a bad smell will be created, in which case the police will come and fine the Sim for the smell.

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, the caller will be fined §500. If the family doesn't have enough money, the police will take away one piece of furniture.

The police can also come if a Teen Sim runs away or breaks curfew. The parents of teen Sims who have left can call the police to find them and bring them home. This leaves a bad memory in the teen Sim's memory. Sometimes, the police will also catch a teen Sim who sneaks out.


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


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


 * In The Sims 2, there is a 4:1 chance that the police officer will be a man rather than a woman.


 * 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.
