Are there any attractive or unusual looking police stations still in use?

I was walking past a police station today- built in the 60's and it struck me that I think a lot of police stations look like this one. If I was asked to draw one, it would look like this- hardly any windows, underpass access for vehicles to drive into, high walls, no outside space. Obviously built for practical purposes. I wondered if there was a different looking police station out there, in the UK? Do you know of a pretty looking police station- one that still operates as a police station?

There’s a lot of Victorian ones round here but they are generally not in use anymore. They are houses, one is a vets another is a little Sainsbury’s. Lovely buildings but you can see why they wouldn’t have been functional
fot modern policing.

The City of London police station (HQ?) has lovely mid century lettering. Not pretty, exactly, but someone has thought about the design.

Kidderminster Police Station, 1950s neo Georgian, is relatively attractive, from the front anyway, and although it’s not what you asked, West Mercia force headquarters, Hindlip Hall, near Worcester, is stunning.

Digbeth police station in Birmingham has a lovely frontage.

Can’t say it’s attractive but interesting fact - Lewisham police station is the largest purpose built station in Europe!

Not the UK, but I rather like this one in Georgia

Wokingham in Berkshire had some fantastic police stations, originally in the Town Hall, and later in this beautiful Grade II listed building

two co durham ones still in daily use

Thank you for the pictures- there are some lovely ones. I walked past the one that prompted my question today and decided I was being rather harsh with my judgement- it's a product of its time with the features too. I love that one @Borborygmus almost worth getting arrested for! I wonder if the word crooked-crook has the same meaning in Georgia?

This was a grammar school before it became a police station.

Not pretty but striking - Chorley aka the ashtray
