Are there any Police games that are good?

The Streets of Rage games on Sega Genesis, of course. Some of the cream of the crop as far as 2D beat-em ups go.

Future Cop L.A.P.D. is another really fun one on the PS1. Open areas to explore and blow the hell out of everything in site in what is basically a police hovercraft Transformer. And some of the best multiplayer modes on the PS1.

I meant it wasn't a first person shooter kill everything in sight type game. You TRY to arrest but if neeeded you could get into gunfights. Am I the only one that thinks it would be a interesting game to play?

I can't believe there are this many posts here already, and nobody's mentioned the only two games that matter in this category:

I was very close to mentioning Policenauts!

You could always play Narc, its a classic.

Wait a minute...

Light gun games fall into the shoot everyone category. I kinda want a game where it's like a reversed GTA.
Edit; It can be staight forward no exploration type game.

True Crime: Streets of LA/Streets of NY?

[Ack]

In a similar spirit to police games, there are several video games based on the Judge Dredd comic series which allow the player to choose between arresting or shooting suspects. I realize that it's a pretty far leap from legitimate police work, but it's something.

Also, I believe the Police Quest series was recommended on the first page? They are point-and-click games that you might enjoy.

You might also consider checking out APB: All Points Bulletin. It's free-to-play on Steam I believe. It's more of an MMOTPS I suppose, so not sure if you would be interested.

Oh, and it's full of gunplay and less on the driving, arresting, or detective bits, but Stranglehold might interest you, as it's a continuation of the movie Hardboiled.

There are also 12 games based on the CSI series and its Miami and NYC offshoots.

I can't get APB to run on my laptop, it may be new, but it's shitty

SWAT 3 Gold is fantastic. It's much more like being a cop than other games because you really can't go in guns blazing and do well. You are supposed to follow protocol.
