There's no doubt about it, the police are definately the strongest presence in this scenario. Their influence (science) is the fastest, their units are superior in quality and training. They also control the largest part of the city and the most strategic area and population. I would recommend playing as the Police if you are playing for the first time as they do have an easier time of accomplishing tasks. Their critical disadvantage is their inability to negociate with anybody and inability to build barracades (city walls.) Click the buttons for more information!
