Police Simulator: Patrol Officers: Highway Patrol Expansion

🛣️ About the Highway Patrol Expansion 🛣️

For a long time, the highway connecting Brighton and the State of Franklin was closed due to a major traffic accident, and required extensive construction work. The Mayor of Brighton is now happy to announce that the grand reopening has been held. The Brighton Police Department and its officers are now able to patrol the highway with exciting new assignments, new challenging tasks and responsibilities, and even new tools, such as the spike strip and roadblock requests to stop fleeing carjackers.

Now that the highway is reopened, there is an increased risk of auto thefts, bigger accidents involving cargo trucks, fires, and scattered cargo. Your daily duties will be extended to include monitoring speeders, providing assistance to stranded drivers, and checking cargo trucks for illegal items. At the end of the day, you need to promote safety on the highway. The highway expansion will also feature the new Interstate Police Vehicle, which allows players to patrol the highway in style.

NEW FEATURES: highway chases, tactical maneuvers, and more

NEW MISSIONS: new callouts, such as cargo checks and highway assistance

Understanding the UK digital phone switchover 2025

Introduction

The UK is moving away from the old copper telephone Telephones network to a new digital telephone system that uses the internet. This change has already begun and is due to be complete by December 2025. You may hear this process referred to as the ‘Digital Switchover’ and the new digital phone service as ‘Digital Voice’ (BT), Sky Voice, Talk Talk Voice or VoIP ‘Voice over Internet Protocol’.
