Police Radio
Overview
The Police Radio is a police scanner in Paragon City used by the Paragon Police Department or PPD. It also serves as a source of Police Scanner missions, or short missions, that you must accomplish to get more contacts and/or Safeguard Missions.
Each zone's missions apply to the detective in that specific zone.
Missions
There are four basic types of missions for the Police Radio: Rescue Missions, Boss Missions, Object Missions, and Heist Prevention Missions. Each is listed separately below.
Rescue Missions
The object of a rescue mission is to defeat a mob of enemies holding the target person hostage and to lead that target person back out of the mission. Usually, a hero or a team will clear a path to the target person so that fighting on the way out is minimized. Once the mob holding the target person is defeated, several more enemies will typically spawn between the target person and the mission entrance to intercept the hero or team leading the target person out.
Defeat (Villain) and Guards
All units, we've received word from Kord Industries security that the VP, one Jon 'Booster' Rhodes, has not reported in to work for several days. Detectives are investigating the situation. The police detectives may be on the case, but you'd heard a rumor that the (Villain Group) had their eyes on Jon 'Booster' Rhodes as a mark for a while. If they made their move, you'd have the inside track to find them and put a stop to it.
Jon 'Booster' Rhodes will be safe and sound if you have anything to say about it.
Mission Objective(s)
(Villain Group) must be desperate to hide Jon 'Booster' Rhodes, so desperate they got sloppy.
- Rescue Jon 'Booster' Rhodes
- Rescue Jon 'Booster' Rhodes
You rescued Jon 'Booster' Rhodes!
Dialog
Enemy Mob 1: What are you, from the future?
Jon 'Booster' Rhodes: Look, I know how this is gonna end, and it won't be good for you.
Enemy Mob 2: Very funny.
Enemy Mob 1: We got trouble!
Jon 'Booster' Rhodes: No one ever listens.
Enemy Mob 2: How did you know?
Jon 'Booster' Rhodes: Nice work. You took those guys down like some kinda war machine.
Jon 'Booster' Rhodes: Thanks for the help. I actually was expecting someone else, but you did a great job.
Boss Missions
In a boss mission, the object is to defeat a mob containing a named boss and his or her surrounding guards.
In these missions, basically, a random name from an enemy group in your level range is assigned to the mission, so, in practice, there could be a very high number of such missions.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards
The (VillainGroup) wanted in yesterday's attack were being led by (VillainBoss)

Detectives report a note left behind by the members of the (Villain Group) who carried out the theft of the Liquid Computer claims that society is to blame.

However, overusing a P.L.O.T. device can have serious consequences, and the more egregious uses can strain the very fabric of reality. P.L.O.T devices have fallen out of favor overall, but many a young and reckless pioneer has picked up a well-used P.L.O.T. device and run with it.
Recover a Dragoon Ball from the (Villain Group)
