Ambitious pinball players tend to look down at ''Police Force'', as its modest difficulty, unbalanced scoring and "Take Highest Score" gimmick make it all but useless for competitive play.

In a WorldOfFunnyAnimals, a BankRobbery is underway at the First Animal Bank, and it's up to the player to stop the wrongdoers. Hit the Drug Rat, Diamond Weasel, Machine-Gun Croc, and Loan Shark targets to put them in jail, then shoot the right ramp and bring down the Mafiosaurus Rex for the Jackpot. Spell POLICE to light the Bullseye for the Top Cop bonus, then load up the Patrol Car and roll it out to start multiball. Use your sharpshooting skills to repeatedly hit the center ramp for Unlimited Millions, or be a CowboyCop and Take the Highest Score from the other players.

!!''Police Force'' demonstrates the following tropes:
* AnimalStereotypes: Used ''all over'' the place.
** The main protagonists are a lion and a leopard (powerful and majestic).
** The backup policemen are a rhinoceros and two dogs (one [[PoliceAreUseless incompetent cop]] and two loyal ones).
** The main villains are a rat, a shark, a weasel, and a crocodile (animals with various unsavory traits).
** The BigBad is a Tyrannosaurus Rex ({{badass}} top of the foodchain).
** One of the civilians is a fox vixen wearing a fur coat (sexy and confident).
** A model in a fashion store is a peacock (vain and pompous).
** The candidate in a political billboard is a bald eagle (patriotic).
* AnimalThemeNaming: The villains. Justified in that it is a WorldOfFunnyAnimals.
* BankRobbery: The backglass depicts a robbery at the First Animal Bank.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The Drug Rat has his tail curled around an eight ball; in street parlance, an "eight ball" is 3.5 grams of meth or cocaine.
* LoanShark: Played literally, as Loan Shark is a great white shark carrying two bags of cash in his fins.
* {{Phlegmings}}: Seen on the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the backglass.
* SpellingBonus: G-U-N increases the bonus multiplier, while P-O-L-I-C-E enables the Top Cop bonus.
* SkillShot: Launching the ball turns a target range spinner, and each turn advances the bonus from 10,000 to 100,000 points.
* TyrannosaurusRex: The BigBad of the game, Mafiosaurus Rex.
* VideoGameStealing: The "Take Highest Score" feature, where a player who uses his last ball to [[{{Combos}} shoot the right ramp twice in a row]] gets the highest score added to his own (on a single-player game, the player's score doubles).
* WorldOfFunnyAnimals: The main game setting, populated by a mix of {{Funny Animal}}s and PettingZooPeople.
** The policemen are PettingZooPeople; they have human-like proportions and are almost completely covered in clothing.
** The villains and civilians are closer to {{Funny Animal}}s, wearing little to no clothing and exhibiting more natural proportions.
