Not a TAAT but inspired by one.

How far away is the nearest police station to you?

Mine is 5.1 miles away.

250m ish...

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 10/01/2019 21:53

1.3 miles

Freshprincess · 10/01/2019 21:53

Couple of miles I think, it moved last year and I'm not 100% sure where it is.

DramaAlpaca · 10/01/2019 21:54

About 1.5 miles.

Auntiepatricia · 10/01/2019 21:55

No idea!

Kezzie200 · 10/01/2019 21:55

0.5 but i dont think it ever opens. They use the car park when on a job. Next one is 7 miles away. Not sure if thats open either as a friend's daughter called in when she was scared walking through a park in late afternoon and felt it was a safe haven....only to find no one answering the door even though she could see shadows of people and noise of movement behind them.

Next nearest 24 miles. Pretty sure both would be open. One a city and the other a county HQ

About three miles but is closed to the public. The closest open one is about eight Confused

ImportantWater · 10/01/2019 21:57

About 200 metres.

Virem · 10/01/2019 21:57

30 miles according to Google maps, never been to it before.

TwiceMagic · 10/01/2019 21:57

2.5 miles away. I had to look it up on google maps as I realised that I’ve lived in this city for nearly a decade and I haven’t got a clue where any of the police stations are.

Starlight90 · 10/01/2019 21:57

2 miles but no one is ever there so town is 7 miles away driving through 30mph narrow country lanes.

PanamaPattie · 10/01/2019 21:57

About 10 miles. The front desk isn't open to the public. There is a phone on the wall outside - I presume call 101 or 999.

Dimsumlosesum · 10/01/2019 21:58

1.4 miles

CormoranStrike · 10/01/2019 21:59

WhoGivesADamnForAFlakeyBandit · 10/01/2019 22:06

At the end of the road.

Littlelambpeep · 10/01/2019 22:07

5 miles

Arkos · 10/01/2019 22:07

2 miles but it's not open to the public and rarely manned. Our next nearest is 18 miles

DowntonCrabby · 10/01/2019 22:07

About a mile

PeterIanStaker · 10/01/2019 22:07

A stone's throw away. It's open at some point every day except for Sunday I think, manned by a couple of PCSOs who are easy to contact on their mobiles if they're not in the station. Low crime area.
