Events | Cop career NfS Rivals Guide

Rapid Responses
Rapid responses are equivalents of time trials from Racer's career, so their primary objective is getting to the finish line as fast as possible. For these event make sure to choose those police cars which have best parameters and are easy to control.
Additional complication of rapid responses is that colliding with environment elements (barriers, trees, buildings etc.) and civil cars is connected with time penalties. Initially these are small penalties (half of the second, a second) but as you do more mistakes the penalties are more severe and even with the easiest races they can seriously decrease your chances to achieve gold medal. So for that reason it would be good to use the police cars which are easy to control, so you can quickly avoid sudden hazards and efficiently overcome sharper turns while keeping on the road.
Hot Pursuits
This events involve stopping racers participating in races because they get to the finish line. In case of the easiest challenges there are three persons to be caught, however in more difficult events there are more vehicles. Regardless of the circumstances if you want to achieve the gold medal in particular events, you have to catch (actually to destroy) all cars.
For this category of events I definitely recommend choosing most powerful available police cars, so those in Enforcer category. It is extremely important to skillfully choose pursuit technologies. I suggest purchasing one offensive technology and one useful in tackling group of vehicles. In the latter case it is best to choose between upgrades which guarantee a possibility to place police blockades and calling for help of the police helicopter.
Interceptors
The distinctive feature of these events is fact, that they do not have a strictly defined route because your objective is only to catch the racer's car in the given time limit. For these event you should choose police cars with high strength, thanks to that each attack on the chased car will take him large amounts of energy.
In completion of Interceptor events proper technologies can help you. I suggest investing in two technologies with typically offensive characteristics (ESF and Shockwave for example) and make sure to but their best generations when possible, increasing their effectiveness in addition. Regardless of chosen upgrades do not let the racer to get away from your car, because while trying to catch him you'll lose precious seconds and decrease your chances for a good result.
