How to bring in suspects and arrest them in The Precinct

One of the first things to master in The Precinct is to arrest suspects and bring them in for further investigations, and it’s not a simple task as you might think.

The game puts you in the shoes of a rookie cop, and you’ll have to emulate his father, which isn’t an easy job. While you gradually learn the basic mechanics and master them over time, arresting a suspect can be a tricky task. This guide will first teach you how to arrest a person who’s a suspect of wrongdoing, and then bring them in for further investigation.

How to arrest a suspect in The Precinct

The task begins by approaching the suspect and breaking down their resistance meter, which will allow you to bring them in. To restrain, approach the suspect, and press the “Restrain” prompt. This part won’t be easy, as a suspect will try to evade your attempts. To prevent the suspect from escaping, you’ll have to bring down the blue Resistance Meter.

To bring down the suspect’s Resistance Meter, you can hit the Voice Order button. If that doesn’t work, you’ll have to physically restrain the suspect. Always press the “Red Rights” prompt while completing the restrain process.

Next, check their ID to see if they have broken any rules in the past, and if they have any outstanding warrants. Then conduct a search for if they’re carrying any illegal items. Once the search is complete, choose the “Resolve” prompt, followed by the “Arrest Suspect” prompt to complete the process.

How to bring in arrested suspects in The Precinct

The process of escorting an arrest suspect is pretty easy. After you have completed the arrest, you can pick from one of the two options:

• Escort the suspect back to the precinct on your own (either in a vehicle or on foot)
• Call an Escort unit, who will take the prisoner back to the precinct.

If you’re looking to escort the suspect manually, make sure to use a vehicle as that’s going to save your time.
