Police Protection At A Certain Tile

[Moses Zal 46]

Hello there,

Is there a way or a mod that enable us to know the police protectiom strength in a certain area or tile?

I'm not aware of any available view, graph, or tool that would give you this information.

However, it really shouldn't be that difficult to figure out.  You have the Center Strength (strength at the Police facility), radius of coverage (in meters), and External Strength (strength at extreme radius) stats for each Police facility.  So you have only two data points to work with.  This means that strength decreases linearly the farther you get from the police station.

So let's take the Maxis Small Police station as an example.  It has the following stats:  Center Strength = 200; External Strength = 0; Protection Radius = 384m (24 tiles).  The math tells us then that strength drops 8.33 points for each tile as one moves away from that Police Station..

Note that when protection radii overlap from different Police facilities, the effect is additive.  So you would have to figure out the strength going outward from each Police Facility.  Also note that custom Police facilities may have stats very different from default Maxis facilities.
