[edit] The Sims 2

In The Sims 2, the career reward object is the Prints Charming Fingerprint Scanner. It is awarded at the Detective level and enhances your ability to improve the Cleaning skill. The scanner can also detect the last Sim to have used an object that is scanned and will display their picture with a thought bubble (If no Sim has used the object a random Sim is chosen).

[edit] Adult Promotion Levels

Level	Name	Description	Days Off	Hours	Pay	Promotional Bonus	Skills Required	Friends Required
1	Security Guard	A badge, a gun... and the graveyard shift. As you're required to supply your own firearm and uniforms, it doesn't leave much in your pay envelope. Also, you can't leave your post - which means your skills on the hot plate come in handy at meal breaks.	S M T W T F S	20:00 - 02:00	§336	N/A	None	0
2	Cadet	You're going to the Police Academy, with a starting salary from the city burning a hole in your blues. Like a combination of boot camp and college, the experience can be physically and mentally draining. Improve your body skill so you can graduate and get a real job.	S M T W T F S	9:00 - 15:00	§448	§896	Body: 1	0
3	Patrol Officer	You're riding the mean streets of SimCity in a squad car - dangerous work without a lot of pay. Keep yourself in top physical condition and study up on your logic skills so you can be considered for a shield.	S M T W T F S	15:00 - 23:00	§552	§1,104	Body: 2	0
4	Desk Sergeant	A break from the mean streets, and a promotion with pay hike...but tons of paperwork. However, you're on regular hours with a reduction in physical demands. If you get tired of this desk job, improve those body and logic skills and you may be out on the street in a much more interesting job.	S M T W T F S	9:00 - 15:00	§616	§1,232	Body: 2 Logic: 1	1
5	Vice Squad	You're attached to your first plainclothes job. Vice duty can be exciting, but your squad operates mostly at night. It's important to shine here, so you can be considered for detective training. Well-rounded skills, especially logic, will hasten that next promotion.	S M T W T F S	10:00 - 16:00	§686	§1,372	Body: 3 Logic: 1	2
6	Detective	You get your shield and continue plainclothes work. Logic needs to be sharp and friends are very important. Cleaning also comes into play here, if you want to step up the department ladder.	S M T W T F S	9:00 - 15:00	§756	§1,512	Body: 3 Logic: 4 Cleaning: 2	2
7	Lieutenant	Cases have a higher profile, and your experience has advanced you to a better pay rate. As a Lieutenant, you are a Detective Squad Leader, and you need to keep those skills sharpened. The stress of dealing with that thick unsolved folder of SimCity crimes can do damage to your home life. Try to emphasize "family time" and recreation when at home to achieve a proper balance.	S M T W T F S	9:00 - 15:00	§826	§1,652	Body: 4 Logic: 5 Cleaning: 4	3
8	SWAT Team Leader	An elite job with a good bonus in the form of "danger pay," but you've got to be very smart to be successful. Make sure you're making friends in high places.	S M T W T F S	11:00 - 18:00	§875	§1,750	Body: 5 Logic: 6 Cleaning: 6	4
9	Police Chief	You're finally "Top Cop". You can afford a substantial house on the hill and are one of the most influential people in SimCity. What more can you possibly do to protect the citizens of SimCity?	S M T W T F S	8:00 - 16:00	§910	§1,820	Body: 7 Logic: 9 Cleaning: 7	6
10	Captain Hero	Crime peoples beware! A new day has dawned on our most wonderful community. A day of righteous justice for all, for Captain Hero is here at last! With massive superpowers at hand Captain Hero fights crime on a daily basis, to the fullest extent of the law.	S M T W T F S	10:00 - 16:00	§1,225	§2,450	Body: 10 Logic: 9 Cleaning: 8	10

[edit] Teen/Elder Promotion Levels

Level	Name	Description	Days Off	Hours	Pay	Promotional Bonus	Skills Required	Friends Required
1	School Crossing Guard	You've got a job protecting one of SimCity's most valuable assets, its children. With the amount of ever-present road construction and resulting road rage, SimCity's crosswalks have become an even more dangerous place for the City's school children. Keep a watchful eye on the kids and the cars, and that sweet gig at the parking lot will be yours in no time.	S M T W T F S	15:00 - 18:00	§45	N/A	None	None
2	Parking Lot Attendant	Attending to a bustling downtown parking lot isn't as easy as you might have thought. Your little booth has no climate control, and the non-stop onslaught of perturbed motorists, not to mention that the pay is low, and you almost always go home with a migraine from the exhaust fumes. Keep your cool and keep the lot free of inextricable parking puzzles.	S M T W T F S	18:00 - 21:00	§75	§150	Body: 1 Logic: 1	1
3	Security Guard	A badge, a gun...and the graveyard shift. Since you're required to supply your own firearm and uniforms, it doesn't leave much in your pay envelop.	S M T W T F S	21:00 - 01:00	§125	§250	Logic: 1 Body: 2	3

[edit] The Sims 3

Law Enforcement is a career track in The Sims 3. It has two branches: Special Agent and Forensics. Your Sim will be required to write reports.

After the 5th level promotion, you're given a choice between the two branches: Special Agent or Forensic Analyst. The big difference is in the Bonus actions that each branch gives you, as the difference in the pay is lessened because the Special Agents end with a bigger pay for hour, but the Forensic Analysts have one more hour of work per day. International Super Spies can Raid the Criminal Warehouse, whilst Dynamic DNA Profilers can run Forensic Analyzes, which plays out like Hacking.
