Police Simulator: Patrol Officers | *NEW* Highway Patrol Expansion DLC Update

The State of Franklin requires your attention, officers: Welcome to the Highway Patrol Expansion, now finally available for Police Simulator: Patrol Officers!
With the Highway Patrol Expansion, the area you’re serving will be greatly expanded: Your attention is no longer required solely in the inner city of Brighton, but now also on the vastly stretching highways surrounding the wider state of Franklin.
You won’t be patrolling just one highway; instead, there are multiple highways, all seamlessly integrated into the existing map. Exits at the border of Brighton lead you outside the city, while multiple interchanges with giant overpasses plus entrance and exit ramps connect the different highways with each other, enabling you to switch between them without interruptions.
From precincts on the highway to gas stations, motels, rest areas, and weigh stations - all these new places must be policed by you as a highway patrol officer.
Note: 3 Duty Stars are required to unlock the Highway District.
The highways surrounding Brighton offer new challenges as they are known for being fast-paced and eventful. That’s also why we’re finally introducing a long-awaited feature into the game: Intense highway chases are inevitable, and when fleeing suspects do not obey, requesting roadblocks, executing PIT maneuvers, utilizing the brand-new spike strips, and employing other strategies may become necessary. You can now also use your gun to order the fleeing driver to leave their car and surrender!
The highway also introduces other new dangers: The grand reopening has led to a concerning surge of car thefts, while drunk drivers pose an even greater risk to other users of the road. Larger accidents may include fires you must extinguish with the brand-new fire extinguisher, and scattered debris that you must pick up. After all, it’s your responsibility to ensure that not only the streets of Brighton but also the highways of Franklin are always safe!
The Highway Patrol Expansion will include two beautiful new patrol cars: The Interstate Police Vehicle might be a throwback to the past, but even in our modern present it will always look and feel cool. The Endurance Police Vehicle is an incredibly powerful SUV, tailored for pursuits and perfect for intercepting fleeing drivers, thanks to a heavy-duty device that can be used to stop fleeing vehicles at full speed.
One outfit can’t be enough, can it? With the Highway Patrol Expansion, you can finally change your uniforms right from the precinct. Head to the lockers and choose your favorite outfit to patrol the streets in style!
Today’s release of the Highway Patrol Expansion is accompanied by a larger update with version number 14.0.7 - we’re introducing both a bunch of free new features and improvements that can be enjoyed by everybody as well as the content exclusive to owners of the DLC.
In preparation for the Highway Patrol Expansion, we’ve already overhauled the entire NPV lane switching behavior, letting the AI react smarter to your moves. In addition, car physics and damage models have been greatly improved, while new NPV designs have been added.
Within the City of Brighton, everyone will also be able to experience carnapping: NPCs can steal a car and drive away, which - should you observe that - might require you to stop them with a PIT maneuver as long as they’re still in your area of responsibility! That might not really be justified… but the option is there anyway. Have fun!
At car accident sites, debris can spawn that has to be picked up so that it won’t cause a danger for other road users. Make sure to remove every single bit - sometimes, you’ll even receive a callout just for that.
In addition, cars can now break down and become stranded at the side of the road. Not good! Make sure to assist the drivers, find out what’s wrong with the vehicle, and call for a tow truck.
We hope you’ll enjoy all features of both the Highway Patrol Expansion and the update itself - and now, off to the highway, officers!
