This is the Police 100% Longplay: No Bullshit/No Irish/No Big Guns (Act 3)
2Once again, in Act 3, you go on hiatus and come back to an exhausted troupe. This time, there's a political divide among your staff, so putting two cops together with different views can mess up your success. I used a snitch to find out who's on what side and divided the team up that way; not sure how much it mattered though.
I also realized at about Day 18 of my second playthrough that you can ask for more than one thing from City Hall. This would have made solving detective crimes much easier! You can ask for a raise, another cop, another detective and to upgrade your SWAT all at once, so make sure you do that. This was missed because that's got generally the case with "RPG" like games; you usually need to choose one upgrade and there's nothing that says otherwise in the instructions.
I also found out that if you solve a Detective case, before sending the Police with the Detective to arrest the criminal, you can start a new case with another Detective. Sometimes it glitches and you can have a Detective on multiple cases.
In Act 3, you need to decide whether you are with The Mayor, or Chaffee and after that decision, you will plan out an ambush by having Detectives investigate people who work or have worked for the city. You need to have your assault ready by the end of the final day.
I also reach 500 000 for "Harpooned Whale" in this after doing all the investigations for The Sands. I waited to arrest them until after they are removed from the storyline so I could keep selling seized items to the Mafia. After hitting 500 000, I went for "No God" for using all the Church services. You can only do 7 of the 8 because two of them are for a funeral service with one being done over the phone, so I don't think it matters which one you choose.
On some days you can play Poker if you really need the cash. Jan is broken in the sense that you can always bet 500 until the final card and then if you bet anything over 1000 he will fold. I'd get on this early because he's a real drag. The other two you can get into going all in if you have a straight, flush or two pair. I got burned by a full house though, so be careful!
I didn't need the money but you can get a HUGE payment for using an experimental gas. I just did it because this is my "bad" playthrough. It highly increases your chances of car accidents, so I only recommend it if you like having a high turnover.
