Police Mafia II Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

There are two aspects to how the police officers act in the game, because it will be entirely different when Vito is driving a car and when he's travelling on foot. If you're using a car you'll have to avoid hitting police vehicles, running over pedestrians and damaging civilian cars. Each of these actions will result in an immediate reaction from the cops.

Running over pedestrians and hitting other vehicles always means trouble.

It is slightly different when it comes to ignoring traffic regulations. You should expect the cops to react if you break the rules while travelling in the car in the same direction. By breaking the rules I mean ignoring red lights and speed limits. If the police is travelling in an opposite direction then it's likely that they will ignore what you're doing, however you can't expect them to ignore each dangerous maneuver. Don't forget about using the cruise control mode available in all cars, so you don't have to worry about breaking the law. If you don't want to be moving slowly you can use an alternative method and monitor the radar while travelling faster than it is allowed. You would have to break hard each time after seeing a police vehicle or a policeman on foot on the radar. This method won't work if you're using a realistic driving model or if you're driving much faster (twice the speed limit or even more).

You don't have to worry about any reactions from the police if you damage your car by hitting a wall or destroying something from the environment (which is not a car). All of these situations are ignored by the officers of the law.

If you're exploring Empire Bay on foot then obviously you're not risking being stopped by the cops. You'll have to remember here about leaving the policemen alone instead of bumping into them, because they may want ask for your ID and give you a reprimand.

Don't forget to leave a crime scene after robbing a store of killing someone, as well as to holster the weapon which was used to kill the other person.

A specific approach is needed when robbing the stores which is one of the ways to complete one of the final chapters of the game. Each time you've robbed a store or killed someone on the street you'll have to focus on leaving the crime scene as soon as possible, because it won't take the cops too long to get there. You should also remember about holstering weapons after each kill, because if you're seen with a firearm the policemen will want to arrest you.

There is a chance to bribe the police officers if they plan on arresting Vito. It's a much better way to resolve the situation instead of resisting arrest.

There are several levels of police interest in the game, similar to wanted stars from the GTA series. Level one usually doesn't mean trouble and you can be sure that the whole situation will end with Vito receiving a reprimand. Level two means that the cops are planning to arrest you and you can allow them to do that, bribing them with several hundred dollars, or you can make a run for it, knowing that the policemen won't use firearms to stop you. Levels three and four mean serious trouble and you're left with fighting the cops or starting a police chase.

Expect more trouble when the cops are after Vito himself. Visiting a clothes store and buying something new to wear is the best way to outsmart them.

Losing the cops doesn't have to mean that the situation has been resolved, because the police officers may issue a wanted letter after your vehicle or after Vito himself. If the police is searching for your car you can drive to the nearest workshop to change license plates or to repaint the vehicle or you can exit the vehicle, however it has to be done without being seen. If the cops are searching for Vito you should visit the closest clothes store in Empire Bay to buy something new to wear. Don't forget to park the vehicle in front of the clothes store to lower the chances of being seen while trying to enter it.
