Can Anyone Explain exactly How to Do A Police Transport?

[Nebula]

Very frustrated and i haven't actually been able to play the game because I can't figure out how to do a police transport. I have done medical transport which seems to work just by sending a ambulance. Ambulance arrived and just takes them to the hospital. I send police, they arrive and nothing happens, Not understanding why the police won't transport.

They do, but ONLY if it's needed..
So, patience and you'll get rewarded !

What kind of vehicle are you sending there? Not all vehicles can transport people.

I sent 1 cop cars to transport 1 person and there was already a cop car there, the 2nd one shows up and sits there and does nothing and both cars had no one in the car but the two cops, The ambulance transports I have no issues with but have not been able to get the police to do the transport. Just confused why when a ambulance is set it picks up and transports to the hospital but when I send a police to a location to transport a person to the station they arrive and do nothing,

The police cars function identically the same way as ambulances, when it comes to transport - they must have 1 free transport slot, and after the incident is resolved, they will transport the person to the police station.

For further help, you would need to send a screenshot so we can advise on exactly what is going wrong.

Basically, the police and ambulance cars have squares above them, that's their room for passengers. If you send a police car to somewhere to do a police transport, and there's 2 criminals, check to see if the police car you selected has the space - 2 white squares that are BLANK. If their squares are WHITE, then youre already carrying prisoners, and you have to toggle the police stations (default button is spacebar) and then direct your police car via right click to the station to drop off your prisoners and free up the transport spaces again.

Its a little tricky since if you have already sent a full police car to an emergency, you wont be able to leave it. Instead, direct whatever vehicle you have near it to sit and occupy the emergency, then send your police car to the nearest police station to drop off prisoners. You can use 1 car to transport multiple people this way, as long as you have another vehicle (e.g an ambulance) that will sit on the emergency so that your police can enter and leave it freely

Thanks, question answered, thanks you very much for making this post now i can play again. The ambulance does it automatically and transports people to the hospital, the police will pick them up and you have to instruct the police to go to the police station, that's what I didn't understand, why the police would show up pick up the people and then just stay there and nothing would happen. Seems like the game mechanics are screwy. And you were able to explain whit out having to have a screen shot, maybe you should be the moderator.

But did you play the tutorial?
Because if you didn't play it, it would be normal if you didn't understand the game. In many games there is that to learn the basics.
