This Is the Police

Good cops/Lazy cops cross-reference thread
After burning through 90 days in-game, I've decided to make this thread so everyone of us can contribute a list of names on the good cops, average cops and lazy cops in their roster as of right now. Feel free to post your list in this thread so one of us in the forums can compile and cross-reference it into a guide.

These are the names from my roster I suspect fits the categories:

===================================
Good cops
Rarely/never request for days off. Can pass the academy
===================================

Noteworthy
- Cecil: I think I recruited him when he was 800 or 900)
- Floridor: Recruited him at 1200 professionalism. Seriously good to recruit when you have an opening
- Austin: Started off as your first member of the force. I got up 1000 professionalism with 3 stripes. She also never request for days off in my playthrough so far. She is my pride and joy on the force. :)
- Prado: I think he was 600/800?

- O'Hanrahan (Never seen him ask for a break, even though he now has 900 professionalism)
- Koizumi
- Magnamara Jr.
- Van Dahl
- Chavers
- Timpson
- Darius
- Gilette
- Purdy
- Kochi
- Tsubaki (She died as my snitch, so that's my mistake)
- Yancey
- Robbins
- Chandler

=========================================================
Potentially good cops (Still waiting to see how often they'll request days off or pass the academy)
=========================================================
- Forney
- Simonetti
- Antanashi
- Klausner

======================================================
Average cops
Cops I've seen requesting days off every now and then, but still do their jobs most of the time. These ones flunk the academy.
======================================================
- Aquino
- Bukarica
- Samadi
- Frazer

===============================================================
Lazy cops
The ones that request days off so often they makes me want to say no to every excuse, or slap them. These guys do flunk the academy.
===============================================================
- Sterling
- Beardsell (I remembered he got drunk or request days off too often earlier)
- Hoad (I gave him a stripe and he still keeps asking for days off. Had him leave to become an Atticus security guard)
- Stokes (He stopped requesting breaks when I made him a snitch. Is he originally lazy?)



Note: If I'm wrong if there's such a thing as average cops, feel free to combine them with lazy cops.

I am not stating this thing for sure, but at a day 100 all of my cops are very good ones. My explanation is that such a things like asking for a day off, or % of succes in academy, as I think, are totally random. I did replay some days several times due to the deaths in my squads or the loss of the suspect, and during those replays the same officer could pass and not pass the academy almost equal number of times, Same as days off - I lost my count of how many funerals of their dads some of my officers, same ones, were visied, but pretty sure that all of my officers did ask for a day off for several reasons, so I could even say this option is the same for all of my officers. My Persy has over 500 exp, even less than Burch (over 600) and I do agree that he asks for day off a bit more oftently then the rest of them, but he works pretty well, for sure.

All I did is send "lazy" and unreliable offficers with the top ones to do their jobs and all of them appeared to be good now. Moreover academy gave them a strip makes them more proud of themselves and more reliable on job. By the day 100 I have quite a few tasks failed and 18 officers in each shift, all with stripes and higher that 400 exp pointts.

In the game files, every officer has a 'lazy' value. The higher the value, the more likely they are to ♥♥♥♥ up on jobs, ask for days off, etc. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a way to view stats for cops with any name listed, rather in the file it's all "COP0003" or the like.

How about Percy ? He was bit of a headache at first but after a $3500 party and gradual rise to 200~300 he became one of my best man!

Price is pretty reliable as well (when you get a chance to send a officer to the martial arts studio, its a easy 100+ professionalism boost) once she gets some training and experience, tends ot pass the academy.

Burch and Burch Jr. do a pretty good job, tend to pass the academy, are quite up there now in professionalism on my playthrough.

(I fire Roy and then make sure he takes the bouncer gig so I don't actually LOSE anyone of value)

It's predetermined that whoever you send on the bouncer call will resign.

Was starting to have a good score with him too until he left for Tibet with my one of my best cop, won't have to fire him it seems x)
