Cop XP is one of the three different ways to earn experience points in Sleeping Dogs. Gaining levels with these points allows Wei to unlock upgrades, just like with Triad XP and Face XP. In order to increase level and gain skill points in the Cop skill tree, Wei will have to take on the police cases and must avoid both property damage and civilian casualties during missions. On missions, the player starts with their potential Police XP reward completely filled. If they commit crimes, such as theft, damaging property or killing civilians, the player will receive less Police XP at the end of the mission.
