Fellow Officers,
Christmas is just around the corner – and here's our final larger update just before the holidays: Welcome to the December Update, now available across PC, PlayStation & Xbox!
This update contains a bunch of frequently requested improvements, several fixes, and a wonderful set of fresh content for our officers.
➡️ But now, let's take a closer look!
A whole set of new Callouts
The December Update introduces two brand-new callouts, both requiring full attention by the Brighton Police Department.
While a good party never hurt nobody, citizens are increasingly complaining about severe noise disturbance in many public areas. A good night's sleep is important – which is why we kindly ask you to investigate and bring back peace to everyone's ears!
The Brighton Police Department protects the law and everyone's rights – and the First Amendment in particular is something we must uphold. All individuals shall express their opinions freely, but rules must still be followed. Unfortunately, some citizens decided to start protests without properly applying for a permit first. Such public disorder must be broken up peacefully by our officers.
Please note that these new callouts, just as with the Mission Update, come without any voice-overs as recordings are yet to finish.
Now available: The Brave Police Vehicle!
To enhance Brighton's fleet, a new patrol car has been added for free for everyone: Please say hello to the Brave Police Vehicle!
This patrol car is a versatile SUV that combines immense strength, great handling, and a sleek design.
The BPV is based on our original concept for the APV, which received a lot of feedback during the initial reveal back in June. Based on that, we overhauled the APV, making it taller, longer, wider, and also adjusted the back, lights and the windows.
The BPV is basically the prototype for the APV – but an original icon in its own right! Check out the BPV in the garage.
Fresh looks for your patrol cars
We're once again expanding our set of free patrol car skins! This time, we're pleased to introduce two wonderful liveries inspired by Chicago and Minnesota.
Created in close collaboration with Agent, RicoBrzenska, and Kittyraww from the wonderful Catpaw team!
Police Simulator 🤝 Ranger's Path
Police Simulator meets Ranger's Path: National Park Simulator!
We're pleased to introduce an additional free customization set in the style of the National Park Service, consisting of both incredibly sleek car liveries and a stylish uniform!
Ranger's Path: National Park Simulator is an upcoming simulator game where you embark on an epic park ranger journey to maintain trails, assist visitors, check permits and respond to emergencies. Throughout your shift, you will explore diverse biomes and observe varied animal behaviors across a wide range of species.

Wig-wags, faster car exits, and more!
First came a red-blue ELS, then the spotlights, and now we're including another frequently requested addition: Wig-wags are finally here! Activate them by holding the button you'd usually use to start your headlights.
We've also increased the speed in which you enter and exit your patrol cars. When things get dicey, you should now be able to react much faster! Last but not least, new radio chatter has been added for greater immersion.
Oh, not to forget: We've also fixed several bugs and provided further polish for several parts of the Contraband Expansion.
Some final words
Thank you all so much for an incredible 2025 – we've released so many updates over the course of the year which have all been made possible by your continous support and feedback. Police Simulator is a constantly evolving game and we can't wait for everything the future holds for us.
