Common questions

What if I already enlisted as a free user?
Your handle, rank, badges, and solved-case history all carry over. Subscribing simply unlocks the additional cases and features.
Can I cancel?
Yes — through the Customer Portal in your warrant card. Your access continues until the end of the period you've already paid for, then the warrant card reverts to free. Solved cases and rank are preserved forever.
Do credits expire?
Purchased credits never expire. Subscriber-granted credits never expire. Free-user credits earned through play expire after 90 days.
Can I gift?
Commissioner subscribers can gift up to 100 credits per month, and a 7-day Inspector trial costs 100 credits to send to a friend.
