Introduction
Police Here is a fast-paced and cleverly designed action puzzle game that puts you in the boots of a sharp, quick-thinking police officer on a mission to chase down and capture the most cunning and slippery thieves in the city — and it is going to take more than just speed to bring them all to justice! Each level is a tactical puzzle wrapped in exciting pursuit action, challenging you to read how each thief moves, anticipate their escape routes, and position yourself or block their paths at precisely the right moment to cut off every avenue of escape before they disappear for good. The thieves are clever, fast, and always looking for a gap to slip through — but so are you. Move quickly, choose the right direction at every decision point, and use your wits as much as your speed to outmanoeuvre every criminal and make the arrest before the level is lost. With progressively more cunning thieves and more complex pursuit scenarios across every stage, Police Here is the perfect action puzzle game for players who love the satisfaction of outsmarting a clever opponent at every turn!
How to Play
Take control of your police officer and pursue the thieves scattered across each level, choosing your movement direction carefully to intercept and block every escape route before they reach safety and slip away. Each thief follows its own movement logic — observing their direction and anticipating where they are heading is the key to cutting them off efficiently rather than simply chasing them from behind. Click or tap to move your officer in the right direction at each decision point, positioning yourself between the thief and their exit to make the arrest. Some levels feature multiple thieves that must all be caught before any of them escape — requiring you to prioritise targets smartly and plan your pursuit route to cover multiple escape paths as efficiently as possible. Arrest every thief on the level to complete it and advance to the next, increasingly challenging pursuit scenario.

Tips to Win
- Always observe the thief's current movement direction before making your own move — reacting to where they are going rather than where they are is the single most important habit for consistent arrests
- Cut off the thief's path rather than chasing directly behind them — positioning yourself ahead of their route is always faster and more reliable than a straight pursuit from behind
- On levels with multiple thieves, prioritise the one closest to an exit first — letting one thief escape while you chase another wastes the entire level
- Study the level layout at the start of each stage before moving — identifying where the exits are and which directions block escape most effectively lets you plan a pursuit route rather than reacting randomly
- If a thief changes direction unexpectedly, pause and reassess rather than continuing the original pursuit path — adapting quickly to a new escape route is far more efficient than continuing toward where the thief no longer is
- On harder levels, think two moves ahead — positioning yourself to block not just the thief's current direction but also their most likely next turn creates an inescapable trap that guarantees the arrest

What makes Police Here different from other police chase games?
Unlike most police chase games that focus purely on driving or shooting, Police Here is built around tactical directional decision-making — you win not by being the fastest but by being the smartest. Reading thief movement patterns, anticipating escape routes, and choosing the perfect interception direction at every decision point makes each arrest a satisfying puzzle solved as much with your mind as with your reflexes.
Does the game get harder over time?
Yes! As you progress through Police Here, thieves become faster and more unpredictable in their movement patterns, levels introduce more complex layouts with additional escape routes, and multi-thief stages require increasingly smart prioritisation and efficient pursuit routing to catch every criminal before any of them slip away to safety.
