James Bond Assisting the Police in the Computer Games?

As I'm researching James Bond's connections with the police and his sometimes taking on the role of a policeman in the novels and films I wanted to check out the computer games as well. My best friend has an Nintendo 64 (among other consoles) and we played GoldenEye on it many times.

A game that I would have played less was The World is Not Enough but I well recall (the last time I got to play it a good few years ago) there being a level on that game where Bond liaised with the Metropolitan Police to defuse a bomb on the London Underground.

As I'm not an expert in the field of James Bond computer games (I don't own any of them or the consoles) I was wondering if members here could help me out and if we could list any scenes like the one in TWINE where Bond liaises with the police. Any other examples of this from TWINE would be most appreciated as well of course.

Please try to tell me as much about each scene or level involving the police as possible.

Looking forward to your replies as always.

    I can't recall any scenes other than that one, to be honest. Perhaps Agent Under Fire's Night of the Jackal mission, but I remember no police in that level. I could be wrong.

    He assisted the Army in the Goldfinger mission of 007 Legends but I can't really think of times where he helped out authorities in Bond games outside of the opening example.

    I do also believe Bond fought Drax's army in the space alongside the space soldiers of the US in the Moonraker portion of the latest video game 007 Legends.

    Not sure about video games, other than what was mentioned, but he does work closely with the police in the unfinished comic 'A Silent Armegeddon'

    Well, if we count the comics, then he did work with them in Permission To Die, too.

    Thank you very much for those further additions to the list!

    Does anyone else want to throw their hat into the ring? If so, I'd love to hear from you. :)

    Live and Let Die (1988) takes place during the boat chase sequence from the film where Bond appeared to have had connections with the police and was sort of helping them you could say (in fact the CIA but ah well). That's as far as we could squeeze it, @Dragonpol. Unless a new game is out in which Bond helps the police, we are out of options. :D

    Thanks again, @ClarkDevlin. You've certainly been efficient. :)
