Perhaps the developers realised this too because in September this year they released <em>Rebel Cops<\/em>, a spin-off to <em>This is the Police<\/em> that focuses purely on the tactical strategy elements. To summarize from the official blurb:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Lead a ragtag squad of cops in rebellion against their town&#8217;s new criminal power to see how long you can hold out when you&#8217;re constantly short on supplies and a single shot can cost a cop their life.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It still sounds like it\u2019s trying to be edgy, but you can forgive a lot with an engaging tactical layer, so on paper this still has potential.
