A police station is a facility where police officers work to maintain law and order in a community. It serves as the central hub for police operations, including responding to emergencies, investigating crimes, and providing assistance to the public. Police stations are equipped with offices, holding cells, and sometimes community outreach areas. In addition to housing police officers, a police station often includes resources for the public, such as a reception area for reporting crimes or seeking help. It may also have facilities for conducting interviews and processing evidence related to investigations.
