History VideoGame / Police911

''Police 911'' (The Keisatsukan in Japan and Asia) is a {{Light Gun|Game}} UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame made by {{Creator/Konami}}, about a police officer either in the LAPD or the Tokyo Metropolitan Police against an international {{Yakuza}} organization called Gokudou-kai. It is a spin-off from ''VideoGame/LethalEnforcers''. Unique to the series is that the player can move their body around to dodge enemy fire through motion technology.

A sequel was released in arcades in 2001, known as ''Police 911 2''.

!!Tropes:

* AlwaysClose: In the second game, if you reach the true final stage by shooting three targets marked with orange rings, once you beat the first final boss, Hung Ko Cheung, [[TrueFinalBoss Shigenobu Matsuyama]] will attempt to flee. Regardless of whether you shoot him or not, your colleagues will eventually arrest him.

* CulturalTranslation: In the Japanese version of the first game, you start in Tokyo, then travel to Little Tokyo in Los Angeles. In the US/European version, it's the other way around, in addition to the stages being in a slightly different order.
** Police 911 2, which took place entirely in Japan, replaces the 'fro-haired Japanese detective and the Japanese policewoman into American agents dressed differently compared to the policeman and SAT trooper.

* MarketBasedTitle: The original title was ''The Keisatsukan'', before released overseas as ''Police 911'' and ''Police 24/7''.
* MeaningfulName: It's a [[SimulationGame police simulator]]. The first ''Police 911'' has "Shinjuku 24", in which the players start out in Shinjuku, Tokyo at midnight. The second game has "Nationwide Tracking Special", involves [[BoomTown multiple cities in Japan]].
* NintendoHard

* RuthlessForeignGangsters / TheTriadsAndTheTongs: Ryuuto, the Chinese criminal organization based in Hong Kong. They appear on the second game.

* VehicularAssault: This is what distinguishes most of the bosses in ''Police 911 2'', since every foe, like you, is a OneHitPointWonder. Your pistol isn't powerful enough to destroy the vehicles, so you take out the drivers by firing through the windows.

A sequel is released, called ''Police 911 2''.

The first game has been ported to UsefulNotes/PlayStation2.

* AnotherSideAnotherStory: In the [=PS2=] port, beating the game once unlocks the "Another Story" mode, which has you playing as the American cops (or if you're playing the European version, which is ''Police 24/7'', beating the game once has the Another Story mode playing as the Japanese cops).

* WolfPackBoss: One level ends with a dozen standard {{Mooks}} ganging up on you, and it's treated exactly like the normal level-ending bossfight (Which is more of a MultiMookMelee).
* {{Yakuza}}: Gokudou-kai.

* SequelDifficultySpike: This is [[HighSpeedBattle faster-paced]] compared to the first two ''Lethal Enforcers'' games. With CatAndMouseBoss in, this spinoff can be extremely difficult, as the mooks, bosses and innocents run at rapid sequences.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The games give you increasingly impressive bonuses for advancing through the ranks, with the ultimate one, for Commissioner, being 100 lives. Once you get that, you can keep playing until... well, you ''run out of time''. Worse,[[BraggingRightsReward you don't get any benefits whatsoever once you reach Commissioner]], meaning that once the clock runs down, you're sunk. And needless to say, if you continue, your lives get reset to 3. Unless you're a real ace at this game to the point where time isn't an issue, it's much better to pick up the first two bonuses (5 seconds and 10 seconds, respectively) and then [[DoWellButNotPerfect die on purpose]] to reset them, tacking on the third bonus (1 life) only when you're on your last life.
