Digital tools built around real decisions.

Explore a city-leadership simulation in active development and a planned mobile workflow companion for patrol-related tasks.

District Commander:
Windy City

In development

A fictional police-district command, dispatch, personnel, and leadership simulator focused on thoughtful decisions—not a shooter or driving game.

2D COMMAND MAP

Read the district. Set priorities. Deploy resources.

01

Assess calls

02

Manage readiness

03

Command incidents

04

Review outcomes

See the district from every command angle.

Five mobile concepts show how calls, staffing, crisis response, district intelligence, and major incidents can stay readable on Android and iPhone.

Android concept

Portrait command map

390 × 844 target
Android portrait concept showing the District Commander strategic map, incidents, units, sectors, and Calls/CAD card

Designed to keep the strategic map visible while surfacing a short incident notification and expandable CAD details.

iPhone concept

Landscape Scene Command

844 × 390 target
iPhone landscape concept showing a major incident map, response routes, assigned resources, and Scene Command panel

Built around a two-thirds map and compact command panel, with only two prominent actions visible during a major incident.

Personnel command

Staff the watch before calls begin.

Review open beats, officer roles, readiness, fatigue, morale, volunteer overtime, and the expected budget impact before making assignments.

  • Beat and sector coverage
  • Officer availability and readiness
  • Voluntary overtime planning

Crisis coordination

Coordinate people, not just units.

A behavioral-health call brings the map, concise CAD facts, de-escalation progress, a CIT-trained officer, and EMS staging into one scene view.

  • Short alert with expandable CAD detail
  • CIT and EMS coordination
  • Public-trust and scene-status feedback

District intelligence

Turn information into a follow-up plan.

Review fictional POD-camera coverage, an LPR detection route, coverage gaps, and a recovered-vehicle lead without leaving the strategic district view.

  • POD and LPR planning
  • Camera coverage gaps
  • City and private funding status

Lead the whole district, not just one unit.

The game emphasizes operations, personnel, procedure, persistence, and community trust. Features below describe the development direction and may evolve.

Command & response

Assess calls, set priorities, dispatch the right resources, coordinate scenes, and make leadership decisions from a strategic command view.

People & readiness

Manage staffing, morale, fatigue, pay, volunteer overtime, supervision, and the training path from academy through field training and probation.

A city that reacts

Track hotspots, criminal activity, unresolved incidents, community unease, traffic operations, inspections, cameras, and license-plate-reader tools.

Growth & coordination

Start with one district, coordinate across districts, and work toward citywide leadership. Areas 1–5 and cooperative play for up to five players are planned.

From district command to citywide responsibility.

Two connected viewsStrategic 2D Command Map and a planned 3D Live City for closer incident involvement.
Operational depthDistrict policies, parking and traffic activity, ANOVs, business inspections, POD cameras, and LPR tools.
Agency coordinationInter-district support with optional Fire/EMS coordination planned for broader incidents.
Player-friendly timeThe city pauses while the player is away, with optional speed controls planned during play.
Planned app

Clearer steps for traffic, crash, and report tasks.

A planned Android and iOS reference app designed to help Chicago officers move through common traffic enforcement, crash, and report-related workflows in a clearer order.

Planned platformsAndroid & iOS
Planned subscription$4 per month
PurposeGuided prompts & reference
  • Step-by-step traffic and crash workflow guidance
  • Prompts for common report and task sequences
  • Clear reminders to verify current official policy
  • Development updates to be posted before release
