what does the yellow arrow above people's head in police simulator

In Police Simulator: Patrol Officers , the yellow arrow above a person’s head usually marks them as an NPC you can interact with or pay attention to , often tied to an event, role, or objective rather than a random passerby. Players online describe these markers as a way to distinguish special NPCs from regular pedestrians, and in some cases the marker appears after updates or in tutorial-driven situations.

What it likely means

• The person is important for gameplay , not just background traffic.

• It can indicate a suspect, mission target, or interactable character depending on the situation.

• If the arrow appeared after an update, it may be part of a new marker system or UI change.

Practical tip

Walk up to the person and check for an interaction prompt or scan/action option, since the arrow usually means the game wants you to notice them.
