Escape S.W.A.T

Go towards the ocean and drive by it until you see a long pier with an amusement park at the end. It will be blocked off so get out of your car and jump over the side barrier not the tall cement barrier. The SWAT will not be able to get in there but they can shoot you through the road. You can shoot and kill them through the road but it is hard to do.

More Good Cop

If you good/bad cop status gets to low you can bring it back up to good cop again. If you repeat the stealth missions but only use X for a stun attach you will gain good cop status this can also put you badge number up aswell. (for a quick and easy way do the first stealth mission on the game then quit just after the auto save but before the shooting part so you don't lose what you have just gained)

How to Beat the Last Boss On Good Cop

When you fight Kim on the last level when you are a good cop the way to beat him easier is to run around and find the metal poles on the ground and throw the first 2 at him then pick up the third and fight with it. To fight him easier mainly hold down back when you are throwing the punches and kicks so you will immediately block when he throws his combos at you. A good combo to pull on him when you have him on slo mo is A Y A that will take down his life pretty low. That is an easy way to beat the last boss.
