L.A. Noire: Patrol & Traffic Division Guide

It’s 1947 – the war is over and life is gradually returning to normal, or at least what passes for normal in LA: murder, robbery, drugs, prostitution, arson, and a general seediness that seems to leak out of the Hollywood Hills.

As Cole Phelps, fresh from a tour of Japan with the US Marines, your job is to work your way up from humble beat cop to ace detective, righting wrongs and getting the bad guys locked up.
