A police station is a police department headed by a commissioner . Also called a police station , it is a building where the police institution provides various services to the community .
The police stations are distributed throughout the territory with the intention that their scope covers the entire surface. Generally the territories are divided into districts , each of which has a police station. Each police station has the obligation to guarantee the security of its district, carrying out prevention tasks but also acting when a crime has already been committed.
It is common for police stations to have several offices . In them, complaints made by citizens are received and various procedures are carried out, such as documentation management. A police station may also have an interrogation room and cells to temporarily house people who are detained.

The police officer arrests the subject and takes him to the police station, where the criminal is housed in a cell until a judge rules what should be done with him.

Detective novels are very popular worldwide, in part because they can combine action scenes with a look at the personal lives of police officers, exploring their weaknesses, frustrations and fears, to build characters with whom the public can relate. be easily identified. Perhaps the main attraction of the police station is that it is not the most visited building in everyday life, and that gives it a certain degree of mystery.
