The series as a whole contains examples of: The game plays like a mix between a gun game and a racing game you and an opponent race through each stage, clearing out enemies in order to reach the goal before the other player, while using a Time Crisis-style cover system to avoid enemy gunfire. This is because it is actually the localization of Seigi no Hero ('Heroes of Justice'), the Spiritual Successor to the Police 911 spinoff.

Lethal Enforcers 3 was released in 2005 for arcades only, and plays completely different from its predecessors (but similar to the Police 911 spinoff). You are tasked to tracking down an international Yakuza group named Gokudou-kai. In these games, you race through each stage, clearing out enemies in the High-Speed Battle in order to reach the Cat-and-Mouse Boss stage, while using a Time Crisis-style cover system to avoid enemy gunfire.

There is also a spin-off series called Police 911, also a sequel to the first game and is set in Japan.
