Publisher's blurb: The police are a fact of life in most modern societies, it is their role to enforce the laws of the nation state to which they belong. Policing differs from country to country and from historical period to historical period. British police, for example, are typically not armed with firearms, carrying instead racking batons and CS gas sprays or in some instances tazers. In other nations, the police often carry firearms of various types. One universal constant, however, is that they all need stations from which to operate. A base of operations where they write reports, detain and question suspects and conduct investigations. The police station presented here is a medium to large city station with detention facilities, hard and soft interview rooms, civilian administration offices, and facilities for both uniformed patrol officers and plain clothes detectives.
