An angle of the SWAT team achieved through glitching the game
The Police act as antagonists in Welcome to the Game II.
They are a SWAT team for the New York Police Department, recently cracking down on cyber-crime with militaristic, extremist methods.
Description[]
The Police are represented by three-four Caucasian men dressed head to toe in black and grey SWAT armor. They're armed with G36C carbines, outfitted with tactical lights, and stun grenades.
Gameplay[]
Interpreting Clint's excessive Deep Web usage as potential illegal activity, the Police will trace the protagonist's IP and raid his apartment. The officers will break down the door to the apartment and hurl a flashbang in, then throw Clint to the ground and aim their guns at him, resulting in an instant Game Over. The only way to prevent this is by periodically jumping from network to network to shake their tracings off his tail, which can be aided by hacking into higher security networks with SkyBreak. The attack animation only activates if the player approaches the front door. On occasion they also attempt to lure the player out of the apartment by shutting off the power. If the player isn't home when they arrive, they'll instead ambush him when at the stairwell door. The Police are immune to Motion Sensors; use the Police Scanner to warn their attempted attacks instead. After the Police Scanner has been purchased from the Shadow Market it will occasionally play random communications from law enforcement. Most sounds it plays will have no meaning, but if you hear Morse code, "1 11 1 10", or "We need your expertise on that" the police are one minute away from tracking Clint back to his apartment.
Important tip: Always disconnect your Wi-Fi whenever you don't use it so the Police can't track you.

Trivia[]
- It is possible to see "FBI Surveillance Van" on your Wi-Fi networks. While this might seem like a hint that the Police are onto you, it's actually a reference to a common real-life prank where people give their Wi-Fi networks ominous, usually FBI-based, names to creep their neighbors out.
- Also, the NYPD SWAT and the FBI are two completely separate law enforcement entities.
- Though the game says the Police are tracking people via Deep Web activity, they can attack even if you have not entered the Deep Web at all. This must mean that they discriminate against ANN users, not just Deep Web users.
- The Police are jokingly nicknamed the "Poilce" by fans thanks to a typo in the game's code.
