(1) First things first – get familiar with crimes(you must know the symbols’ meaning, only after that, you will be able to understand everything – read the symbol guide below for more info). On the reception, you receive the crime reports – the receptionist there files the report against the crime. If you tap the reception counter – you will see the number of crimes that you have got and what type of crimes that have been reported by the people living in the city’s districts.
(2) There are three types of departments in the Idle Police Tycoon game; the logistics department, the research department, and the arresting department. The logistics department includes reception and interns – the people with the responsibility of filing and delivering cases from one department to another. The research department facilities such as the detective division, fraud * counterfeit division, crime lab, and major crimes handle the investigation. And, at last, the arresting department that handles arrest.
(3) Each department in the game specializes in specific crimes. Read the department guide below for more details.
(4) You will see (!) warning symbols above the lockers, next to the progress bar, above employees/detectives if they are working on the cases in which they are not specialized. This warning mainly occurs when the cases are wrongly delivered. Due to that, detectives/employees/officers will take more time to complete them. Read the warning symbol guide below.
(5) At the top of detectives/scientists/employees’ heads, you can check the crime icon that showcases the type of crime they are investigating and the progress bar; the progress bar could be of orange color or green color. If there is a (!) warning symbol, then it means that they working on the wrong cases. Read the (!) warning symbol guide for more details.
