About
The year is 1981, and as a young officer trainee, you are assigned to work at a border post in the mountainous region of Karikatka. Entry into the Acarist People's Republic is strictly regulated by the party and your every move is monitored! The situation at the border escalates when your comrade is killed during one of the interventions...
Document control
Every visitor must have a set of valid documents. Even the slightest discrepancy means refusal of entry. Over time, the number of documents will increase and errors will be more difficult to detect.
Smuggling detection
Our intelligence regularly provides information about suspicious drivers. Search their vehicles using a UV flashlight and then use the appropriate tools to extract the smuggled goods. No amount of contraband should cross the border!
Shootouts
In some situations you will be forced to use firearms. Your station is a constant target for Oberankov's gang attacks, and every away mission carries the risk of a clash with the enemy.
Police chases
Desperate smugglers may attempt to escape from the control zone. It is your duty to stop and arrest them! Buy and upgrade police cars to improve the effectiveness of your pursuit.
Post management
Upgrade your police station to increase its defenses and improve subsequent inspections. However, keep in mind the rising cost of maintaining your station. Successful inspections, foiled smuggling and successful interventions are a few ways to earn cash.
Special assignments
Always be ready to intervene in an emergency. Solve crime puzzles, support your comrades and thwart the Blood Fist rebels. Make decisions that will determine the future of Acaristan.

Definitely worth the price!
yes
Really enjoyed this! Was a good combination of inspection duty and side missions!
The content loop stays fun. Even after doing the story you can do endless mode and try to get a fully upgraded border post there. It's fun because every car that rolls in is different and you have to stay suspicious until the last thing has been checked. A very amazing game and definitely something you must try!
"B52, we got a runneer!!" CaseOh
I like to abuse my power in this game a lot. It really shows me what power can do. I like throwing grenades into peoples cars just because they are rude. This game is really fun and if you want to abuse your power and be the best cop ever get this game. You can even blow the cows up! Wow so good right? If you want to threaten, kill, or abuse your power this is the game for you!
Класс подхотит для того когда делать не чего
Contraband Police — це захоплива гра, яка дозволяє відчути себе справжнім прикордонником. Гравець перевіряє документи, оглядає транспортні засоби та виявляє контрабанду, що робить ігровий процес цікавим і різноманітним. Атмосфера країни 1980-х років добре передана завдяки деталізованому світу та якісному звуковому супроводу. Особливо подобається поєднання уважності, логіки та динамічних подій, які не дають нудьгувати. Гра постійно підкидає нові виклики, тому кожен робочий день на прикордонному пункті відчувається унікальним. Contraband Police стане чудовим вибором для всіх, хто любить симулятори та детективні елементи.
to be honest this game is so good , idk it just has details that even big dev companies would miss for sure i even got inspired to build a game like it for me , i hope we get the new version soon (:
Sehr gute spiel, tolles story telling, tolles gameplay
