04 · Command loop
A department is a connected system.
Reports become cases. Cases and patrol work create outcomes. Outcomes support station capability. The diagram is editorial orientation, not a progression formula.
05 / Station
Run the station from verified functions.

Arrests and Closed Cases support capability; exact economics are not published.
Check the boundary →06 · Work the case
Registration. Examination. Execution.
The official three-stage lifecycle is stable enough to organize a guide and personal board—never enough to invent puzzle solutions.

On patrol, evidence sets the boundary.

Before you take command.
Is Police Chief Simulator released?
No. The Full Version Steam page currently says it is not yet available and plans September 17, 2026. The separate Demo is live.
Does this wiki solve cases?
No. It explains verified structures and evidence boundaries without inventing puzzle solutions.
Do the tools connect to my game?
No. The Case Board and Shift Planner store only the entries you make in this browser.
13 · Evidence before confidence
Know what is current, announced or still unknown.
Every mutable claim keeps a product slice, evidence state, source and check date. Official media is labeled; original diagrams are not presented as game screenshots.
