I was playing as a police officer and GTA 4 auto saved and then a few minutes later the power went out so it saved me as a police officer and now when ever I try to start the game it just crashes

time to uninstall an reinstall. or maybe while in the safe house change using the trainer

Delete the save game you currently have and download a new 100% save game file and pop that in your save game folder.  

 

Or if you have several save games, like me, just load one of those.

If you use GFWL, then it saves in: C:Users<username>AppDataLocalRockstar GamesGTA IVsavegames<userID>

If you can't navigate to this folder on your own, then type %appdata% in the Start menu, Run, or just the directory bar on top of a windows explorer window. Then go back one folder (out of Roaming and to AppData) and then to Local, Rockstar Games, GTA IV, savegames, <userid>.

 

If you don't use GFWL (because of xliveless or some other reason), then it's in: DocumentsRockstar GamesGTA IVsavegames
