World's Scariest Police Chases is an open world action driving video game developed by Swedish[2] company Unique Development Studios (sv) and co-published by Fox Interactive and Activision for the PlayStation in June 2001. Work on the Dreamcast, PlayStation 2 and PC versions of the game was cancelled, as well as its sequel, titled World's Scariest Police Chases 2: Code Red.

It is a video game adaptation of the homonymous television series that was later renamed to World's Wildest Police Videos.[3][4] The player takes on the role of a police officer whose job is to fight crime by chasing criminals throughout the fictional city of Ashland[5] and apprehending them. The game includes several different gameplay modes, with a two-player multiplayer mode also available.
