Burglars drive around the city at high speed and are difficult to catch. Foot criminals can also be stopped by landing on top of them with the helicopter, but this risks damage to it. The first three types roam the streets on foot and can be arrested by simply picking up a police officer from the roof of a police station and dropping them near where the crook is, or dispatching squad cars. Arsonists may additionally put fire on another building, and muggers may kill Sims if approached.
Catching criminals - There are four types of criminals in this game robbers, arsonists, muggers and burglars. Providing that the fire is near a road, a fire engine can be dispatched to help put out a fire. The player has to be careful not to fly too low over a fire as it is extremely dangerous to the helicopters. Putting out a fire involves going to a body of water and filling a Bambi water bucket, flying directly over a fire and dropping the water on it either by tipping the bucket or using the water cannon if it has been purchased. Sometimes a plane or train crash will start a few fires scattered over a small area. It is usually on buildings, but sometimes a fire mission can be as small as a burning car or a tree. Aerial fire fighting - The mission involves extinguishing a fire somewhere in the city. Traffic jams - A simple type of mission that involves using the megaphone to redirect the traffic, or using the following police dispatch to clear traffic. All rescues can be aided by the use of a rescue harness. Train rescues, one of the more difficult and higher paying missions, involve rescuing sims from the top of a runaway train. Boat rescues involve rescuing Sims from capsized boats. This mission often occurs as the result of a fire. Rooftop Rescue involve rescuing Sims from the rooftop of a building. Rescues - Players will occasionally be called upon to rescue Sims from perilous situations. This puts the player in the shoes of a pilot doing various jobs around the city. The second mode - the heart of the game - is the career mode.
However, user cities sometimes need to be designed with SimCopter in mind, and most of the time the player must increase the number of police stations, fire stations, and hospitals to allow for speedier dispatches.

The free mode lets the player import and fly through cities of their own or any of the 30 cities supplied with the game. There are two modes of play: free mode and career mode. As the name suggests, SimCopter puts the player in the role of a helicopter pilot.
