Police Illustrations
The Police are law-enforcing NPCs in Yandere Simulator that respond to reports of crimes. They are members of the Buraza Police Bureau.[1]
Appearance[]
In the teaser photos, the police have a custom face model, olive skin, and dark gray eyes and hair.
It was formerly possible to see the police in the game. When a student fled and called the police, the player would have to wait 20 - 40 seconds before they arrived. If Ayano held out her phone, pointed it at the entrance, and entered cinematic camera mode, the police would spawn in front of the entrance. They would walk in place, and the police investigation music played, but the police cutscene would not appear until the player closed out of cinematic camera mode. While the police walked in place, the player could not move or progress through the day, leaving the game frozen until it was exited. As of the January 1st 2016 Build, the police can no longer be seen walking by the gate.
As of the October 21st 2018 Build, they will be shown in the end-of-day sequence instead of being only mentioned, doing as the dialogue suggests. The visuals will show that they use advanced technological devices to scan fingerprints.
In 1980s Mode, they are shown looking at a paper notepad with DNA and fingerprint results instead.
Description[]
The closest police force to Akademi Academy is the Buraza Police Bureau, which is tasked with protecting the inhabitants of Buraza Town. In order to understand the workings of the Buraza Police force in modern day, one must first understand their history.
In 1989, a mysterious string of murders and disappearances occurred at Akademi Academy. The local police were unable to identify any suspects until an investigative journalist convinced them that one of the school's female students was the culprit. An arrest was made, and the schoolgirl went to court to face trial for her alleged crimes.
At the time of the trial, Akademi Academy was a household name due to its international prestige. The nature of the trial - a schoolgirl accused of murdering multiple classmates to keep them out of a boy's love life - drew widespread media attention. As a result, the case was the most publicized criminal trial in Japanese history.
At the end of the trial, the schoolgirl was found innocent. The police force who performed the arrest were widely criticized for taking the journalist's claims seriously. The journalist and the local police force were the laughingstock of the country for weeks.
This event caused long-lasting changes in the policies of the Buraza Police Bureau. In order to avoid becoming the subject of national scrutiny ever again, they are now extremely reluctant to perform arrests without hard evidence, and dismiss individual eyewitness testimony unless it is backed up by at least 4 other individuals.
When performing an investigation, the Buraza Police Bureau is heavily reliant on recent technology invented by Saikou Corp. This new technology allows the police to perform a full forensic investigation of a crime scene within minutes, as opposed to hours or days. For example, this technology can identify all traces of DNA on a murder weapon, allowing the police to identify a murderer almost instantaneously. Within a time span of 6 hours, the police can perform absolutely every type of forensic test possible, with plenty of time left over to question all witnesses present; as a result, if the police can't solve the crime within 6 hours, it's deemed to be unsolvable, and the case is closed.
Rumors of bribes between Akademi Academy's headmaster and the superintendent of the Buraza Police Bureau are firmly denied.
Their weakness is set for "The Past."
Gameplay[]
The current police timer.
In current builds, Police are shown at the end of day sequence. They are called after a Homicide has occurred or if any incriminating evidence has been found, such as a corpse, a dismembered limb, pools of blood, a bloody weapon, or bloody clothing. If an Easter Egg is active, the Police will flee school upon seeing the protagonist. Certain people, depending on their personas, will call the police if a dead body is spotted.
- If Loner, Coward (unless they witness the protagonist killing someone), Fragile (Currently for Horuda Puresu, unless she witnesses the protagonist killing someone or bullies, as well as dead body of bullies), Delinquents (unless they witness a dead body of bullies), or the Journalist witness a dead body, they will flee from the school and call the police.
- Social Butterfly will call the police once they arrive at the safe area. Snitch will call the police once they arrive at the faculty room via landline phone.
- Phone Addicts and Sleuth (below 80% School Atmosphere) will text the police a photo of the dead body. The player has a small amount of time before the police are called. Additionally, if they directly witness the protagonist killing the person, once they call the police, it will result in an automatic Game Over.
- If a member of the faculty finds a corpse, they will call the police and guard the body. After the day has ended, the police will be called if teachers find a pool of blood, a bloody weapon, or a corpse.
- If a Student Council member, Heroic, and Teacher's Pet find a corpse, they will inform a teacher, who will then call the police.
- If the protagonist attends class or leaves school without disposing of or hiding the body, the body will be found by a faculty member, and the police will immediately be summoned.
After the police are called, the player has 5 minutes to complete a checklist by removing all evidence.
- Any puddles of blood, as well as footprints tracked by the protagonist, must be cleaned up with a bucket of water, bleach, and a mop. The police won't catch her if they find the blood.
- Bloody clothing must be removed and disposed of by any method, such as incinerator, sewer, or vat of acid in the Science Club. The protagonist can also wash the bloody clothing using a washing machine in the Home Ec Room. If the protagonist doesn't dispose of or wash the bloody clothing, the police will catch her using DNA evidence, resulting in an automatic Game Over.
- Bloody weapons must be disposed of. They can be destroyed like clothing. The player can also wash the bloody weapon using a drinking fountain in any place and put it back in its original location. If the protagonist doesn't dispose of or wash the bloody weapon, the police will catch her as the killer with fingerprints on the weapon, resulting in an automatic Game Over unless she wears gloves or the raincoat, as well as she frames another student for the murder.
- Corpses must be disposed of. They can be destroyed like clothing and weapons. The body can also be concealed with a garbage bag so the protagonist can carry it without any suspicion. The police won't catch her if the body is not disposed of.
- The sanity must be restored. It can be restored by laughing, viewing a picture of her Senpai, or standing near her Senpai. If the protagonist doesn't restore her sanity, the police will question her and take her into custody due to her behavior and resulting in an automatic Game Over.
- If the player dismembered the victim with a circular saw or chainsaw, each individual body part must be disposed of. They can be hidden in a cello case if the player is in the Light Music Club, and they can be disposed of in trash cans around the school.
- Although not on the checklist, it helps the player to remove any witnesses. If there are more than 5 witnesses who suspect the protagonist as a killer, she will be arrested.
In the future, there will be drums overlaying the current school day music to give a sense of urgency that the police are coming.[2]
Once the police timer hits 50 seconds, sirens will be audible and increase in volume until the police arrive at school.
If the protagonist frames a student by placing evidence on them or a delinquent by killing someone with their weapon, the police will arrest them.
The police only have technology that can detect biometric information on non-organic materials, such as weapons and clothing.[3]

In the future, if at least 5 students witnessed the protagonist carrying a weapon and being covered in blood around the time of the murder, the police will be able to arrest her without having hard evidence.[4]
Trivia[]
- Police was added to YandereDev's "characters" on February 24th, 2018.
- There will never be any undercover cop students. YandereDev dislikes it.[5]
- Saburo Meshino's profile description states that he is reported to be an undercover police officer, posing as a student, who is looking into Akademi. Although this was initially a rumor, it was later confirmed by YandereDev.[6]
- There will be no more than 10 policemen in an environment at a time.[7]
- If the game includes a small town instead of one street, policemen will actively patrol it.[8] This might mean that unusable police vehicles will be added too.
- If there is no open world, they will only ever appear at the end of day results sequence.[8]
- If there is a suspected murder on Friday and the rival has still not been eliminated, she will meet up with Senpai after the police investigation is over under the Confession Tree.
- There is a rumor stated in Mysterious Tape #2 that the headmaster bribes the police to keep them from investigating school deaths too much. The headmaster's motivations, should this event be true, are unknown.
- If police officers start to die, the school would be shut down for the safety of the students.[9]
- The police officers appeared as a hazard for the Trap Time in Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals, which appears in the Akademi Assault map in the Yandere Simulator DLC before its removal from the Steam storefront on September 27th, 2023.
- If an easter egg is used, they'll get scared and run for their lives.
- The police investigate the Info Club during police investigations; however, they see the room as half the size of the other clubrooms, and they cannot find anything in the cardboard boxes. They think it is a storage closet and leave. This is because Info-chan erects a wall horizontally before the police come, dividing the room with one side containing incriminating evidence, and the other looking like an empty closet.[10]
- As of July 1st, 2024 Build, when the countdown strikes 60 seconds, police sirens will start to be heard.
- The trial that revolved around Ryoba Aishi as the defendant and the journalist as the plaintiff set legal precedents on how much evidence is needed to convict someone of murder. As a result, it often gets mentioned or referenced in pop culture or legal settings.[11]
