There’s no manual save in The Precinct right now. The game only uses auto-save, and it's a bit picky about when that happens.
If you're wondering why your progress vanished after a crash, here's the deal.

When Does The Precinct Save?
As of now, The Precinct only saves automatically after you complete a mission or shift. That means if you’re halfway through busting thugs or cruising the streets and the game crashes you’re out of luck.
There’s no mid-shift save.
Tips to Avoid Losing Progress
Until a manual save feature gets added, here’s what you can do:
Finish the shift before stepping away
If you’re close to wrapping one up, just push through and end it. That’s your only safe save point.
Don’t leave the game idle too long
Crashes seem to hit more during long sessions or after inactivity, so quit out cleanly if you’re taking a break.
Cross your fingers on console
PS5 players are reporting crashes that roll back progress. So far, no patch has fixed it.
Will Manual Save Be Added?
Not yet,but the community is loudly asking for it. If you're tired of losing your hard-earned shift progress, you're not alone. Keep an eye on updates or patch notes from Fallen Tree Games.
Final Blurb
Right now, saving in The Precinct is a bit iffy. Until a proper manual save feature shows up, your only real option is to ride out every mission and hope the game doesn’t crash before it auto-saves.
