Our independent guide breaks down the core systems of Contraband Police, offering observations that help you understand document work, smuggling detection, combat, pursuits and post upgrades without relying on hidden mechanics or paid content.
01 / THE GUIDE
Document Review Timing
Track how long it takes to process basic versus expanded document sets. Note any rise in error rates as paperwork grows and adjust your focus to the most error‑prone fields.
- Prioritise the most common fields to catch obvious errors quickly.
- If a document looks borderline, double‑check before granting entry.
02 / THE GUIDE
UV Flashlight Efficiency
Run a series of searches on flagged vehicles, recording how many hidden items you locate per minute. Use the data to decide when a quick pass is sufficient versus a thorough check.
- Always use the UV flashlight on flagged vehicles to avoid missing hidden items.
- Keep extraction tools ready before beginning a vehicle search.
03 / THE GUIDE
Ammunition Management
During simulated gang attacks, record how often you need to reload. Compare runs with different reload frequencies to find a balance that keeps you effective without excessive pauses.
- Conserve ammunition for prolonged engagements.
- Stay aware of enemy positions to react quickly.
04 / THE GUIDE
Pursuit Upgrade Impact
Upgrade police cars one at a time and note changes in successful arrests. Identify which upgrade provides the greatest improvement relative to its cost.
- Upgrade police cars when you notice repeated escape attempts.
- Plan routes that cut off likely escape paths.
05 / THE GUIDE
Budget Allocation Review
Log income from inspections and interventions over several days. Allocate a portion to defensive upgrades and the rest to maintenance, then observe how inspection speed and success are affected.
- Invest in defensive upgrades after a series of successful interceptions.
- Monitor maintenance costs to avoid budget shortfalls.
