An Infected Police Officer is a special type of Zombie typically found in cities, suburbs, and wastelands, one to two of them can also spawn in the Police Station, even with enemy spawn disabled (may be a bug). The ones found in Police Stations don't seem to respawn. They are known for having very high health, and their ability to destroy blocks with their acidic vomit.
An Infected Police Officer is fairly easy to spot, as they are grotesquely disproportionate and wear a signature police uniform. They are incredibly bloated, and move very slow as a result, but the range of their acid can reach large distances. They are easy to mistaken as an irradiated zombie, for the simple fact most of their skin is green.
Infected Police Officers are also noted for making disgusting burps and gurgles, as well as various 'puking' sounds when fighting players.
Once an Infected Police Officer reaches low health, they will sprint towards the player in an attempt to take them down with them. If they reach the player they will attempt to explode, dealing massive damage to blocks and almost always killing the player in the process if they are within range.
Loot[ | ]
Infected Police Officers are only able to be looted if they are killed before they explode. On death they usually have Ammunition, Weapons and/or Old Sham Sandwiches, as well as assembled weapons, weapon schematics, and food.

Loot Groups[]
These are the Loot Groups that are included in a Loot Container. The chance of an item appearing in any of these groups has been scaled based on the chance of that group appearing in the parent group. A group can also appear more than once if it has been included subsequently by another group, the chances in this case will then reflect all the parent chances. The quality of the items returned will be defined by the loot container quality levels unless it has been specifically defined for the group, in which case it will be listed beside the group.
Combat[ | ]
Infected Police Officers are relatively slow, matching the average speed of a Bloated Walker. Also similarly at night, they run slightly slower than average zombies. Several can be encountered in the later Day 7 hordes as well as Screamer hordes.
Once they target a player, an Infected Police Officer will constantly puke in the player's general direction. Initially this attack doesn't deal much damage to the player on contact, but when used consistently enough it can easily lead to death as well as destroy any structures and the ground around it, sometime misplacing all the player's items as well.It's recommended to constantly keep moving or strafing in order to avoid the acidic vomit, all the while peppering them with gunshots or arrows.
When they are near death, they will suddenly sprint towards the player in an attempt to kill them. If they get close enough they will explode, almost always resulting in the player's death and causing massive block damage to the surrounding area. Pay close attention to the movement of this zombie because in this mode they can sprint even in the daylight, so always try to kill them before they detonate. It should also be noted that if they enter this mode they will still attempt to sprint towards players behind walls and explode.
Keeping a large distance from this zombie is highly recommended, otherwise close-combat can lead to an explosion and the player's death.
When encountered in large groups of zombies, it is important to always prioritize killing Infected Police Officers first to minimize the damage they can cause to structures and players even from large distances.
Finally, if engaging in combat with this zombie make sure to stay away from any type of vehicle, because cars and other potentially explosive objects will detonate if they get splattered with his acidic vomit. An Infected Police Officer's vomit can be aimed in any direction if they have line of sight with the player, including through hatch doors or arrow slits, so staying behind safe cover to reload or avoid vomit is recommended.
While undetected, a single headshot while crouched from a Crossbow will kill him instantly and silently. This zombie will try to take you down with his puke constantly once he's spotted you, so it's recommended to stay away from him and try to find cover if he's already making puking sounds.
Below is a list of the shots needed for each weapon to kill an infected police officer completely (without explosion). (Please note that these results have been researched with Fine-quality weapons)
The Flaming Arrows have been tested according to how many are needed to kill the zombie with burn time included.
In order to achieve this it's required to be fast and precise with each shot or they will explode in some cases.
