Taking out key suspects:
------------------------
To disarm key suspects easier without killing them, raise your Detective level
by solving street crimes to unlock the Taser pistol and Tranquilizer rifle
(found in police station's basement armory). These work well for safely capturing
key suspects without killing them accidentally, and is much easier than trying to
get an aim on their arms or legs for a "neutralizing shot".
Fighting styles:
----------------
If you are having trouble completing a fighting mission where you must fight thugs
hand-to-hand, it is best to drive around to different Dojos when not on a mission
to learn different fighting styles. Some styles are better used on some opponents
than others. The best styles are Thai Boxing and Tae Kwon Do. They seem to be
effective on a wider variety of opponents and can defeat more fighting styles than
other ones. Also, do not overlook your default "Brawling" fighting moves as they
can prove very effective against some of the fancier martial arts like Wushu.
Switch between styles while in combat to find the best one for each situation.
If you can score hits with combos of three or more moves on one opponent without
them blocking any of your hits (or stunning them), then your style is better than
theirs. Also, during the "fight club" mini-missions you can sometimes get a hint
as to what styles your opponents are going to use by the little gestures and moves
they make before the beginning of a match.
Faster shotgun reloading:
-------------------------
when using a shotgun, slow reloading can be a big problem. When you start to reload
a shotgun and just stand there, it is very slow. Start running around to reload
almost three times as fast.
Recommended vehicles:
---------------------
The best vehicles to use at Detective Rank 2 is the 5.4L SC V8 coupe; and at
Detective Rank 4 the 6.0L V8 coupe. If you use the 6.0L coupe, make sure to take
it to a garage and get a street upgrade. Also, if you find one of the bullion vans
driving around, hijack one. These will push any car out of the way, and in one hit
you can sometimes put a car on black smoke. If you are stuck on the last driving
arena mission (one lap around Central Park), just keep hitting her car in this
truck to get her stuck for an easy win. The only problem with this vehicle is
cornering. Do not be afraid to use this vehicle like a rhino.
Get cops to stop shooting you:
------------------------------
Sometimes, when you are in your street clothes and shoot at someone in front of
a cop, the cop will start shooting at you. To get them to stop, simply turn
towards them and flash your badge at them. They should then stop shooting at you.
Provoke citizens to fight you:
------------------------------
This is a very good way to clean up all precincts quickly, without getting a Bad
Cop rating. Get in a car and ram into another car that someone is driving.
The driver will get out of their car angry and start provoking you while throwing
a big fit. Get out of your car while they are still throwing a fit and wait until
you see a health bar over their head. You can now beat them down and arrest them
for a quick and easy three Good Cop and three Career points. You can repeat this
until you clean up the area.
Character upgrades:
-------------------
As your rank gets better (5 being the worse, and 1 being best), you can buy better
upgrades for your character at the Police Department Armory, such as better zoom
for your guns, or a more slow-mo dive. You can also purchase new guns to use.
The guns will be in the trunk of your police car that you get from the garage.
Easy money:
-----------
Go into a store, extort them, then come out. Walk back in and repeat as many
times as desired to get
more money.
Easy ranks:
----------
If you do not mind earning Bad Cop points, use the following trick to rank up
detective levels easily. Go to a place where there are lots of people, such as
Central Park. Frisk as many people as you can, plant evidence, and arrest them.
You will get one Bad Cop point if you arrest them correctly. Also, ou will get
three career points every time you do so. It should only take about a half hour
at the most to rank up a level.
Reload stun gun:
----------------
Commandeer any police cruiser, open the trunk, and you can then reload your stun
gun. This can be done repeatedly whenever the gun is low or empty.
Grand Theft Auto reference:
---------------------------
When you get the option to start driving taxi missions, Marcus comments that he
cannot believe it and says "Next thing, I'll be flying remote control toys and
shit." This is obviously a reference to all the RC car/plane/helicopter levels
in the Grand Theft Auto series of games.
Neutralizing criminals:
-----------------------
To neutralize a criminal person that is running, take out your stun gun and use it
until his or her health is gone. You can then arrest him or her.'
Reloading:
----------
There are two ways to reload your ammunition. The first is by accessing the trunk
of any car that you own. This also gives you access to your personal armory. The
other way is to get a police car then access its truck. Using the police car will
refill all your weapons but will not give you access to your personal armory.
Lower Rogue meter:
------------------
To allow your rogue meter to cool down, just enter any subway station. Cops will not
follow you down and you will be safe.
Kill without filling the Rouge meter:
-------------------------------------
Kill a group of people to fill your Rogue meter. Once the cops come after you, let them
kill you. After you are put you on street patrol, leave the station. Enable the "Super
Cop" code, and you can now kill as much as you desired without your Rogue meter filing.
No motorcycle wrecks:
---------------------
Pop a wheelie and do not stop. Cars will not make you fall off or slow down much.
Keep car door open after you jump out:
--------------------------------------
When you jump out you will find that your door is stuck. To keep it open, get in on
the passenger side.
Redman Gone Wild mini-game: More time:
--------------------------------------
An easy way to get more time is to kill people. It is impossible to complete it by just
driving. You must get out and shoot them.
Getting criminals to surrender:
-------------------------------
Enemies are more likely to surrender if you fire a warning shot from a gun larger than
theirs. You can then proceed to arrest them without starting a gunfight.
Note: This does not always work.
Sour Candy mission: Easy completion:
------------------------------------
In the Palermo mission "Sour Candy", follow Candy up the climbing wall to the track. Instead
of starting the race, go in the opposite direction. For the first two sets of hurdles, break
the ones in the center lane by running into them. Then, break the last two sets of hurdles
on the inside lane of the track. This will allow you to run in the race and not have to jump.
Candy will be forced to jump over the hurdles slowing her down, so you can catch her more
easily.

Jennifer Lopez reference:
-------------------------
One of your crime calls on your police radio will be a reference to the Puff Daddy and
Jennifer Lopez incident in Club New York, a midtown Manhattan nightclub on December 27,
1999. "Puff Doggy (Puff Daddy) and Jo Loleta (J.Lo, Jennifer Lopez) have seen escaping
the scene in SUV, apprehend suspects."
