Fellow officers,
Yes, we can't believe it either... but it's been exactly one year since we released Police Simulator: Patrol Officers!
Happy Birthday to us all 🎉
We couldn't be more proud of what we have achieved together with you over the last twelve months. We launched 6 betas, added 10 new tools, introduced 49 new violations, launched the game in 13 new languages, put in over new 2200 lines of dialogue, ate more than 380 pizzas... and spent a lot of time reading through the hundreds of thousands of messages you sent us during this overly fulfilling year!
So... how do we celebrate?
The cake isn't a lie
Well, we already prepared some cakes in advance! Our officers are already eating them in the precincts which we also decorated for the right mood. Red Tiger took a screenshot of it in the currently running beta for The Traffic Management Update – so join the beta to see it yourself or wait for the stable release coming on July 12, 2022!
A new update
Oh yeah, as we just mentioned it: On July 12, The Traffic Management Update will release and with it introduce cones, barriers, commands and much more.
If you are interested in trying it out before it officially releases, join the official beta and give us your feedback:

Special Mod Contest
A perfect birthday requires a perfect outfit! We're hosting our very first Mod Contest and are looking for awesome skins for either the patrol cars or the officers which highlight the anniversary of the game. Have a nice idea? Then start creating and upload your mod to the Steam Workshop! We'll have more details to share about the contest next week but wanted to give you a shoutout in advance so that you get some more time to prepare!
However, we've already seen one made by Skullhunter and it looks beautiful...
The PS:PO Community Awards
Every month, our community grows bigger and bigger – and it is incredibly inspiring to see you all engaging, discussing, playing and simply sharing joy with each other. Some community members have proven to be absolute role models and awesome ambassadors which let to us creating special PS:PO Community Awards signed by the team and dedicated to those members. More details about that will be shared with these members soon!
Giveaways?
Yes, of course! Soon, we're giving away 5 Copies of PS:PO on our socials so make sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram!
A special Q&A on our Discord
On June 30th, our community team will host a special Q&A on our official Discord server. To learn more about it, make sure to join it as we'll share more details there soon!
Now is the best time to join the Brighton Police Department!
You haven't experienced PS:PO yet?! Now's the perfect time for that! With lots of updates still coming up, an active community consisting of hundreds of thousands of players, a motivated team working on the future of the game... what else is there to wait for?!
To help you get over the edge, we're participating in the Steam Summer Sale and are now giving away the game at a 20% discount! :)
And if you already own the game, maybe there's a friend with whom you would love to partner up for some co-op action!
What about the future?
It's glorious.
We are already working on plans for a bunch of new content updates but also haven't forgotten one of the most important aspects: Polishing what's already here. While we plan to expand the game to reach even more players (more about that at a later point), we can not wait to share more information about what's ahead for PS:PO in 2023.
That said... let's all get some cake and enjoy the sun on patrol through the sunny streets of Brighton!
Yours humbled,
The PS:PO Team
