Hello, Chiefs! In response to your feedback on Steam and Discord, we've prepared a list of changes addressing some of the most frequently requested improvements. In Your Feedback, Our Improvements series we introduce changes inspired by your suggestions and feedback. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us! Changelog Case Sorting - Added a new "Management" app that allows you to select which case levels are automatically faxed by workers. All other cases will be placed on the shelf as usual. The app is accessible from the computer in the Sheriff's Office. Walking Prisoners - Added a designated area to the Prison where, after parking a patrol car full of prisoners, they will walk to the Prison's waiting room on their own. From there, they can be registered in the same way as prisoners in the station's Holding Cells. Additionally Added a new tutorial covering Case Sorting. What's Next? This is just the beginning of Your Feedback, Our Improvements! We'll continue working on improvements inspired by your suggestions in upcoming updates.

Police Chief Simulator Patch #32 Fixes Taser Logic, Cursor Loss, and Double Fines
Perfect Circle Team has shipped Patch Notes #32 for Police Chief Simulator, a collection of targeted fixes drawn from player-reported issues.
What changed
Registration Couch clipping — NPCs known as Customers no longer clip into the couch geometry.
Speed Gun softlock — hiding the tool mid-animation no longer locks the player out of further interaction.
Taser misclassification — the Taser was incorrectly flagged as a firearm and blocked by the Gun Ban system; it no longer is.
Post-ragdoll NPC recovery — NPCs were struggling to stand up after ragdoll events; this has been corrected.
Disappearing cursor — the cursor no longer vanishes on in-game computer screens.
Double fining — a scenario existed where vehicles could be fined twice; that loophole is closed.
Lighting and bloom — minor visual tweaks applied.
The studio also noted that another patch was in preparation at the time of publishing, expected within hours of this release.
For players who encountered any of these edge cases — particularly the Speed Gun softlock or the Taser being stripped away by Gun Ban — the path through those scenarios should now be unobstructed.

Police Chief Simulator Update #2 Adds Prisoner Transporter Van Upgrade
The second update for Police Chief Simulator centres on a single, player-requested feature: the ability to convert the existing white van into a dedicated Prisoner Transporter.
The conversion is handled at the Body Workshop inside the Car Dealership — a location shared with the broader Car Dealer Simulator universe — and costs an in-game fee. The result is a new vehicle variant that carries more detainees per run, enabling larger transports and, according to the developers, greater profit potential.
What changed
Added the Prisoner Transporter Van as a new vehicle.
Added the option to rebuild the existing white van into the Prisoner Transporter at the Body Workshop.
Added new tutorials and tutorial videos.
Fixed collision issues on some vehicles.
Fixed an Armory bug that caused item duplication.
Fixed handcuffs not returning correctly after patrol when more than one pair was assigned.
Ongoing optimisation work targeting frame drops at the Police Station (marked as work in progress).
Developer Perfect Circle Team notes the community request list continues to grow, and the handcuff and Armory fixes in particular address friction points that would have disrupted routine patrol management. The frame-drop work being flagged as unfinished suggests players near the Police Station may still encounter stutters for now.
