Sounds great!
I once had the idea of an NFS game based around Cross. You'd play as him, working your way up the ranks of the Rockport Police Department whilst busting racers and taking down the blacklist. From Heat 1 officer performing basic traffic stops (in a Civic Cruiser/Crown Victoria) all the way up to Sergeant rank with his iconic C6/C6.R in high speed pursuits.
I've also been a fan of the opportunity to play as a Rhino, and I like the communication between players when pursuing a target. It's good for tactical maneuvers, and could add a multiplayer aspect where you take down a racing player as a unit, or play as a team of racers helping each other to escape the cops.

@Jacobba55 see i really want that in furutre what do you think ?
Sadly, I'm not sure if it will ever happen. We might get the opportunity to drive police vehicles again, or if we're lucky a game to play as cops or racers again, but I don't see the current developers bringing back Rockport and their cops.
Personally, my top priority is to remove the damage system from future NFS games again so I can enjoy them. However, I'm always happy to try and promote accessible cop vehicles or playing as the cops!
I think it's only a dream for now... Although, I'm sure if you have a dedicated enough group of players and the right conditions (such as the Crown Vic in Payback) we will be able to bring this dream to life!
