The Precinct News

[h3]We’ve heard that some of you Rookies want to represent the ACPD on your streets.[/h3]

We’ve teamed up with Makeship, a crowdfunding platform, to bring our Rookie Pin Pack to life! The pack comes with an ACPD Badge and our iconic ACPD Cruiser.



You’ll only have 21 days to put in your pre-order for this limited edition pin pack and after that it’s gone FOREVER, so make sure to put in your pre-order as soon as possible!
For these enamel pins to be created, we’ll need to reach a minimum number of 200 pre-orders, so check out the link here to place your pre-order and help us make our campaign a success.

Please note that these are pre-orders so, once the campaign is finished, it may take between 2-4 months before the pin packs are manufactured and dispatched.

[h3]The Chief is tired of all the paperwork and wants to see some action.[/h3]

To celebrate the Summer Sale and the release of our first major content update, we’re running a competition where you could win a limited edition Precinct-themed Xbox Series controller, an ACPD badge, and a Precinct t-shirt (sizes UK M, L and XL only).

This competition is a bit different from our previous ones, as you’ll need to submit a clip of you playing The Precinct to enter!

[h3]Introducing: The Craziest Clips Competition![/h3]

To enter, simply send a 30-second video of your craziest moment in-game. The clip cannot be edited in any way. Clips that are any longer than 30 seconds or that have been edited will be disqualified.

The clips must be submitted via GLEAM. You are welcome to share your clips in our Discord or on social media as well, but your entry won’t be counted unless you submit it via GLEAM. You can use GLEAM to either upload your clip directly OR via a YouTube link.

Please note that once you upload a clip, you cannot submit another one or redo the original clip, so please make sure you are happy with your clip before you submit it.

The winner will receive a Precinct-themed Xbox Series controller, a ACPD badge, and a Precinct t-shirt (sizes UK M, L and XL only). Two runner-ups will also be chosen, and they’ll receive an ACPD badge, and a Precinct t-shirt!

Once the competition is over, the clips will be reviewed by the team and they’ll choose their top 3. Then these top 3 clips will be submitted to a community vote in the Discord to decide the winner!

We’ll also be using the clips for a short video to highlight some of the best wacky moments so, by submitting your clips, you’re giving permission for us to use it in the video (with accreditation).

*Terms and conditions apply. However, the eligibility for the Competition is only for those who are 18 years and above of age as of the date of entry.
