As you explore the streets of Averno City as Nick Cordell Jr. In The Precinct, you'll spend most of your time responding to dispatch calls and cracking down on criminal activity. But in between the chaos, there are also plenty of collectibles to track down.

Plaques are one of the more unique collectibles in the game, offering more background lore on key landmarks throughout the city. These plaques can be found on walls, windows, or even on trees and reading them all gives you the Historian achievement/trophy in The Precinct. But when you're exploring a city as dense as Averno City, it can be difficult to hunt down all of them.
