The '''police''' officer is a type of [[NPC]] in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]''
[[File:PoliceWoman.png|thumb|122px|Michelle, the Policewoman.]]
The '''police''' officer is a type ofan [[NPC]] in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]''. They typically arrest [[burglar]]s, among other tasks.
 
The police will come automatically when a [[burglar alarm]] goes off, or when a Sim calls them over the [[phone]]. They will also come autonomously in certain cases.
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 officer loses, the robber will escape with whatever he or she managed to steal. If the police officer and the burglar cannot get into a position to fight, the burglar will flee and the police officer will leave after making a comment about "next time". Also, In ''The Sims'', [[Michelle the Policewoman]] does not drive a squad car, but only appears on foot. An explanation found in the game stated that the Police don't drive because they suspect the burglar had planted a bomb inside.{{Fact}}

==The Sims==
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 §200-§500. If the family doesn't have enough money, the police will take away one piece of furniture. If the family doesn't have enough money or any items that aren't in use, the police will say they are fining them, but nothing will happen and they will just leave.
In ''The Sims'', there is one police officer named [[Michelle the Policewoman]]. If summoned when there is a burglar, she will arrest the burglar, and he will go peacefully. The family will be reimbursed for what was stolen, and will receive a §1000 reward. Michelle does not drive a squad car, and will always arrive and leave the lot on foot.

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. When the police arrive, there is a strong chance that the party score will immediately drop to "Disaster" unless cheats are used to remove the police car and officer. In ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]'', if a Sim uses the [[The "Concoctanation Station"|"Concoctanation Station"]] chemistry set outdoors during school hours, a police officer will come and fine the Sim because of the smell. Oddly, this will also 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.
Occasionally, whilst the player's Sim is at work in the [[Criminal Career (The Sims 3)|criminal]] career in ''[[The Sims 3]]'', a policeman/woman will come to arrest them. Then, the Sim will be taken to the police station for 12-24 Sim hours.
 
Prior to ''[[House Party]]'', Sims that have a large quantity of guests at night will receive a visit from the police officer, who will warn them and ask them to dissolve the party. If Sims do not send all the guests home, the officer will reappear after a period of time and fine the Sims. If ''House Party'' is installed, Sims that throw a loud party that lasts past 11 pm will receive a visit from the police, who will break up the party. When the police arrive, there is a strong chance that the party score will immediately drop to "Disaster" unless cheats are used to remove the police car and officer.
The police can also come if a [[teen]] Sim runs away or breaks [[curfew]]{{vgversion|TS3}}. The parents of teen Sims who have left can call the police to find them and bring them home. This leaves a bad memory for the teen. Sometimes, the police will also catch a teen Sim who sneaks out.
 
Calling a false alarm to the police station results in a stern warning.
In ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'' expansion pack and [[The Sims 2 Pets (console)|console versions]], if pets run away, Sims can call the police and have them try to find the runaway pets. Whether or not the police succeed at this is determined randomly.
 
==The Sims 2==
* It helps to have a phone in the bedroom near the bed to minimize the distance Sims have to walk to call the police.
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]] 2'', 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 2Fighting|fight]]'', 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 officer loses, the robber will escape with whatever he or she managed to steal. If the police officer and the burglar cannot get into a position to fight, the burglar will flee and the police officer will leave after making a comment about "next time".

* 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.
 
Sims can also call the police to report a [[Running away|runaway]] [[teen]]. If the teen is found, they will be brought home, and the teen will receive a negative memory. The police may also bring back a teen who has been caught [[Sneak out|sneaking out]].

==The Sims 3==
Much like ''The Sims 2'', police that are called when there is a burglar on the lot will fight the burglar. If the officer wins, the burglar is arrested; otherwise the burglar makes off with the stolen items. If called when there is no emergency, they will fine the Sims §200-§500, and will confiscate household items if the household does not have enough money.
