Police Officer Duty

[Devanor]

Is there something I'm not getting with the job?

I tried socializing, that makes me unable to get the minimum done to not get reprimanded
If I focus solely on work, I get just enough done to do the minimum, and then I have no time to socialize.

I come to work with the High Rage buff for increased work efficiency, and I keep it up with food if I need to. Do I need to do something to get more buffs? Should I focus an entire shift on socializing and get reprimanded to reap the rewards on the next shift?

I am having the same problems. It is frigging hard to even meet the minimum duty, much less do anything else. I wonder if it is stat related, and I just don't have the right stats for patrolling or paperwork.

focus on paperwork and socializing, eventually you will reach a point where you investigate a problem, and then get a perk to speed up paperwork, making it far easier to even get money bonus's

I fully optimize every time, starting just on time, only paperwork, using sandwiches to not waste a single second, fully happy...etc...

I have been fired for the 5th time already, I can get the duty to pass maybe 1 in 5 times. I don't have a spare second to try and improve relationships with collegues which I suspect may help, but since I'm getting fired anyways I don't have the luxury to do so.

I only got an investigation once, which was triggered at exactly the time where my shift was finished. I tried to investigate anyways but there was nothing at the place.

I also wonder if this is stats related. On my save it's literally impossible to have 3 >min shifts in a row. (just in case, I'm used to optimizing processes in games. If it's impossible for me there will be MANY players for which it will also be impossible)

I've seen in other topics that people reported having issues with training, I have none, I was allways finishing training with excedent, right from the start.

So after having progressed with the job, I've found the following:

Spend a shift socializing to 100%
During every shift after that, focus on paperwork while jumping back and forth between that and socializing so it stays green
Drink soda to keep your... happiness? Joy? up so you have the High Rage buff, as well as whatever else you need for hunger/energy

The first few days of doing this will be for bare minimum, but you will then get a case, solve it, get a buff that makes paperwork faster, then later again for patrol (unimportant), and finally a third case, get a buff for faster socalizing.

Right now I keep getting not just minimum work, but also enough for a bonus every day.

Someone has reach the full bar? It feels nearly math imposible to me.

Just start on time with full energy/food and you cannot NOT pass, unless you go out of your way for it. Same for Mick's Gym. That's without any software or helping hands.
It does help to have Slime Lunch, which only takes 15 minutes to prepare, which is what I usually use for that last push in the gym training session. But you can just use the vending machine/go to Apu without spending a single minute.

Better socialzing with worker means you will get better reward from paperwork and patrol. After a certain point you'll get upgrades to get these thasks done even quicker.

That's wrong.

[Fringehunter7719]

If you do 12 hour shifts without spending time on other tasks, have the slogger perk and maintain green rage/morale and green work socialisation (without ever going into overcapping or dropping to yellow) then you will always pass.

If you start spending time walking about town, cooking food, or lowering efficiency by working without high morale/socialisation, then yes, you can fail.

I failed once to do the 3 shifts in a row and now it seems i can't do anything on 1st floor of police station but use vending machine or go back to ground floor...(where i can't use a desk either)

Am I forgetting something or...
Could it be because I also just started running the gym as trainer?

Worked like a charm, failed first time but socializing was still green from first try 3 days before so second try was ez peez, with being gymtrainer and daily fights.

1. Only use consumables that do not require time or kitchen to prep during shift. Energy drinks and sandwiches.
2. Do not waste time doing anything than police work.
3. Before doing anything bring modifier to green through socializing.
4. Go on a shift with full energy and fully eaten.
5. Patrolling is less efficient than paperwork, but it is good to mix them up from time to time (about 5:2 ratio for paperwork, even before any buffs)

all you have to do is get the check mark then socialize

all you need to do is pass the check mark and then socialize as you progress things will get easier and faster to the point where you don't even need all the time to get 100%. you just can't get it right away you have to get to at least the second stage and by the way being a cop kind of sucks I've already completed it you're going to feel like garbage when you're done with that playthrough

you cannot run the gym and be a cop

my personal opinion that Gym equipment is better than the cop crap

[DreddBeat]

Sorry but the whole police duty thing is really broken. It shouldn't be this difficult to do. You do exactly as the game tells you, yet you still fail over and over. Needs fixing.
