The Cops and Bandits feature was added to CityVille on 10th March, 2011. This introduced new gameplay where Bandits randomly appear after you collect from a business and attempt to rob it. Cops catch the Bandits but require 
Donuts (gifted by friends) to mantain their patrol of your streets. Once caught, Bandits will unlock exclusive items, and Red Gems which vary in Coin Value.
On 9th August, 2011, Level 7 of the Police station was released. The cops became retired and a superhero is in charge of protecting your city from new bandits. Donuts are no longer needed at this level.
Cops[]
(For more information on upgrading your Police Station visit the Police Page)
Bandits randomly steal from your businesses and attempt to flee. Cops are used to catch bandits. These positions are filled by your Facebook friends by asking them on the news feed for help feeding the hungry officers with more donuts. Players helping also get a donut. Donuts are also for sale for 5 City Cash. Upgrading your Police Station allows you to capture more Bandits, as Bandits that require a higher level than your police station is capable of handling will not appear. It is possible to have multiple bandits in your city at the same time.

Bandits[]
Catching a Bandit
Bandits have a chance to appear when collecting from businesses. To catch a bandit, you must click on it as it walks around your city. Catching a bandit does not consume energy. While they don't reduce the coins you collect from businesses, catching Bandits will earn you rewards and allows you to "Celebrate with donuts" by posting to your news feed. Catching a bandit also puts the arresting officer to sleep for 72 hours. You can wake your officer up by acquiring donuts.
Escaping Bandit[]
If all of your officers are sleeping (not on patrol), and a bandit appears, it will walk around for an unlimited time until you either reload the game or click on the bandit. When you click on the bandit, it eludes your attempt to capture. A popup appears saying the bandit escaped, but you can spend 25 City Cash to capture the bandit anyways or ask for donuts to wake your officers to be ready for the next bandit to appear. There are no negative side effects to having a bandit escape.
