I think it would be great to see a cops and robbers game mode implemented into forza it gives players more choices and also innovates the game even more, yes I know the community will disagree because we have many games with cops and robbers, such as need for speed rivals, most wanted, and many more…
However I truly believe this gives players more choices, and it further betters the experience because then we are not just players driving around and getting bored, we are players that can be hunted for our actions.
Add any game mode… Please

They need to add cops, period. They don’t need to chase us in free roam but it would be more fun to have in street races. Makes them a bit more realistic

I agree. I also play Need for Speed Heat. Horizon 5 street racing is tame after doing street racing in Heat.

On the Xbox dashboard Forza section, under multiplayer requests, there’s usually a few posts wanting players for Cops’n’Robbers games, many in French, so it looks to be a popular thing.
I don’t know if PGG need to add a specific Cop mode, but perhaps adding more police cars - and/or the ability to add lights to more existing models - would make it easier for those who make their own game in a convoy (or however they do it), or at least give them more choice.
I do like the idea of some traffic cars being police cars though, even if they don’t chase after people. There are taxis and plumbers’ vans, buses and trucks, so why not Police?

It would be nice if we had an official game mode by Forza that would be epic with actual police lights etc… But I just highly doubt it will happen lol so we just have to use we we have at the moment and sort of role play scenarios but it gets boring after chasing people with a stupid siren that lasts 5 secconds instead of a continuous one that you can change ELS but meh I’m asking for too much I guess lol 
In fairness the police in Mexico apparently kind of do play their own Forza Horizon with seized gang vehicles.
Pretty sick.

I would really love the possibility to swap at least most cars into a police variant and special customization added to them.
Also the ability to choose if you want to be a professional driver with license or more of a illegal driver (feature that comes with races that include police, freeroam police that are patrolling and if they see you driving over the speed limit they might start chasing you (take as example the police and night mechanics in nfs heat).
Another cool mechanic that could be added is the ability to be a part of the police and participate in illegal races as the police and try to catch the others (example the cops dlc from the crew that already has these kinds of features).
I just want to say that adding these features that are already present in older games could make the experience in the newer games better and more fun (I hope it will happen).
Very popular game options in the community are ‘Hide and Seek’ or ‘Cops and Robbers’ games, maybe it would be possible to create such a game mode to cater for those players within the same convoy? This would require access to the whole map (or alternatively a circle to be selected by the convoy leader) and automatically disable the mini map whilst disabling other player’s cars being shown on the big map.

Burnout 2 was the best cops and robbers mode in my opinion. Be soooo good to have this in Horizon in some form.

It would be best if a few players were cops and like three players robbers. This also brings the question: how are they gonna locate the robbers? Using the minimap would be boring as hell. Maybe whenever a robber passes a speed trap the cops know where they are?

This trend has been going on since Forza Horizon 3. That’s like 5 years and counting About the time of here.

me and some of my mates have been playing our own cops and robbers game mode since forza horizon 2. always a massively exciting and tense game mode, but it’s was really hard to regulate our ruleset and find a decent balance for the robber and the cops.
having a built in game mode for people to play, even if it was just branded as “survive the hunt” or something like that would make our lives a whole lot easier and the game would flow a lot smoother.

Even just a simple cop chase race option. It would be extremely simple (relatively speaking) to program in;
-Racer(s) has to get to the destination
-cop(s) have to stop the racer(s) from getting to their destination.
-vehicle damage is turned on (this is already a feature in the game under options, they barely have to do any programming [again, relatively speaking])
-impliment a statement where once a vehicle hits a certain point under the damage thresholds it is considered ‘busted’ or out of the chase in the event a police car hits the damage threshold
These (above) are the basic principles for making a police chase game mode now let’s get a bit more creative:
-i would suggest using street races and the platform of the events but removing every second checkpoint as to encourage shortcuts
-obiously you would need a minimum of 1 racer, one cop. After that it would go back and forth between racers and cops. 2r,1c. 2r,2c. 3r,2c. Etc. — on the races in which the racers have an advantage over the police there could be a single roadblock put at a random point throughout the race; this roadblock would show up on the cop’s map but not the racers
-if under testing it is apparent that it is easier for the racers you could decrease their grip on any surface other than tarmac
This is an extremely simple form of a police chase game type and all with assets already in the game. It wouldn’t be too hard to implement something like this

This is a really fun activity that people create groups to play. It would be great to have cops and robbers be added to playground games (flag rush, king, zombie, etc).
I agree! I posted something along this line as well on my account.
(More Casual Multiplayer Gamemodes!)
Here’s what I wrote there:
Point-to-point cops and robbers. Played usually at night with low visibility. One team (cops) starts near end-point and seeks out the other team (robbers), who start at start-point. The goal is for the robberrs to individually make it to the end-point without being tagged, and for the cops to tag all the robbers before they make it to the end-point. Once tagged, robbers become cops (or maybe something else? ghosts? Cop-rammers to help other teammates score?) Long time limit to encourage hiding and other sneaky tactics, best in terrain with lots of buildings to hide behind. No or limited minimap. Would be especially cool if you could turn off headlights to hide as robbers.
