The CPolice (stylized as cPolice) is an unusable vehicle in The Simpsons: Hit & Run. The vehicle makes an appearance in every level of the game, with the exception of Level 7. The player cannot access this car without completing the game 100% and using the All Cars cheat.
Description[]
The cPolice is the vehicle used by law enforcement during a Hit & Run in most levels, as opposed to the purchasable police car available to the player which is portrayed as Chief Wiggum's personal cruiser. Its appearance is almost identical to the Police Car—being a stereotypical American police car—albeit with subtle differences that set the two apart. For example, the Police Car has a shiny black finish, while the cPolice is painted matte black. Second, the cPolice is slightly bigger, both in height and in width. Despite this, the cPolice's tail lights are smaller and don't glow. The cPolice also lacks an antenna that the Police Car can be seen with, on the back end of the car. Lastly, a fixed model of a police officer is placed in the driver's seat of the cPolice. Missions that feature police switch between using the cPolice and the Police Car with Chief Wiggum driving. Like the Police Car, the car bears a strong resemblance to the real life 1983 Ford LTD Crown Victoria.
Tips[]
The cPolice is almost a statistical clone of the Police Car. The only performance difference to note is that the cPolice is not capable of performing a burnout, while the Police Car can. The cPolice also has a larger hitbox than the Police Car, making it less capable of fitting in tight spaces, but also making it more likely to strike vehicles. As such, the cPolice is a better pick over the Police car for Destroy Objectives, but worse for essentially everything else. Either way, the cPolice remains a solid vehicle that is versatile and serviceable even in the game's final missions.
Appearances[]
The cPolice is the car that chases the player during a Hit & Run, so it makes an appearance in every level (with the exception of Level 7). Besides this, the cPolice does make a few appearances in missions, replacing the Police Car for unknown reasons. When driven by the AI during a Hit & Run, speed and toughness ranges from slow and extremely fragile to relatively quick and strong depending on the level.
Theme[]
Not counting traffic vehicles, the CPolice is one of two vehicles in the game to have a theme, the other being the Hearse. This theme plays during a Hit & Run.
Trivia[]
- The cPolice is replaced with the Hearse to chase players during Hit & Run in Level 7.
- Originally, the Chase Sedan was to replace the cPolice to chase players during Hit & Run in Level 6. However, this idea was scrapped for unknown reasons.
- The policeman seen in the driver's seat of the vehicle bears a strong resemblance to Lou, but with yellow skin.
- Even if the invincibility cheat is activated on all versions of the game, the cPolice cars during a Hit & Run will be the only damaging hazards/entities in the game able to damage the player's vehicle.
- When this car explodes, its chassis will not appear.
