Understand the Police Power map in SimCity 2000 to see police station coverage and patrol ranges. Blank tiles mean no police coverage.
The Police Power map displays the area of effect for each police station in your city. These areas are represented by circles that are darker in the center, directly over the police station, and become lighter towards the edges. In cities with good transportation systems and well-funded police departments, light-gray lines will follow the roads outside the immediate areas of effect, indicating that some police stations can patrol beyond their standard range.
This map is closely related to the Crime Rate map. Filtering the Police Power map produces similar results, displayed in shades of blue. Blank tiles on this map indicate a total lack of police coverage in that area.
- Pay attention to the light-gray lines on roads outside the main circles to see extended patrol capabilities.
- Compare the Police Power map with the Crime Rate map to identify areas needing more police coverage.
- Blank tiles on the map signify areas with no police presence.
