Schedule I Police Guide — Avoiding Arrest and Managing Heat
The Wanted System
Heat accumulates from:
- Selling in public areas
- Being spotted during deals
- Large transaction amounts
- Operating near police patrols
- Dealer arrests
Heat levels (1–5):
- Level 1–2: Minor attention, easy to lose
- Level 3: Patrol cars in your area
- Level 4: Active pursuit
- Level 5: Full response, very hard to escape
Reducing Heat
Short-term
- Go indoors and wait (heat drops slowly over time)
- Change clothes if you have an outfit slot
- Drive away from the area
- Don't make deals until heat drops below level 2
Long-term
- Bribe the beat cop in your zone early
- Unlock police contact through reputation milestones
- Keep operations lower profile (indoor deals, night deals)
Bribing Police
Available after Rank 3. Costs scale with your operation size.
| Bribe Type | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Beat Cop | $500/week | Ignores small operations in zone |
| Detective | $2,000/week | Reduces investigation chance |
| Captain | $8,000/week | Major protection, heat reduces faster |
Prioritize Beat Cop first — best value early.
When You Get Caught
If arrested:
- You lose product you're carrying
- Pay a fine or do time
- Staff loyalty may drop
- Heat resets but area is "hot" for several days
Never carry your full inventory when moving through risky areas.
Safe Operation Practices
- Deal indoors when possible
- Use dealers for outdoor transactions
- Vary your routes and timing
- Keep stash locations separate from production sites
