Police and arrests

The death article is the hardest fact on this page: a Police Officer loses department-issued gear on death while personal items and equipment stay untouched. That asymmetry also explains why surrender is a real decision for a Criminal rather than a flavour detail.

Kefir's Police and Arrests section contains three articles: how to become a cop, why surrender to the cops, and why pay a bribe. The 1 November announcement added planned changes to police tempo, including slower respawns and badge purchases with rarity tied to a district. Those were announced as changes to roll out as ready, not as a completed patch, so this page does not describe them as live.

A Chinese launch overview states that both police and criminals are played by real people on a server that can hold up to 5,000 players. That detail comes from a secondary report and is labelled as such.
