vehicles are very nice , comfortable and fit very well in the design of the structure!

:blush:

after that we proceed to introduce the small island with the maximum security cell (a small Alcatrazz ? ) built on a small baseplate 16X16:

I think this is one of the best police department TLG has ever produced, it got an incredible design. There are plenty of figs coming with it what is great,great playability,

Price: 8/10 The retail price was acceptable,

Design: 10/10 It looks very good and the small Alcatrazz is a touch of style!!

Minifigs and parts: 10/10: a prisoner, a secretary, 6 policemen and a shark, what do you want more??

Playability: 10/10: The island, a lot of vehicles, a shark, a secret passage and jailbreak joe! AMAZING!!

Overall: 38/40 A great set. Every town and police and fan must have this set!!

thank you! :classic:

One of my favorite police stations of all time. My younger brother got this for his 8th or 9th birthday and lasted until our youngest brother got a hold of it. I picked up a 2nd hand one 3 or 4 years ago from an ebay auction. It's crazy to see how some of the details inside are so ancient looking compared to newer sets. Computer fat-back monitors/key boards with most of the letters vs. the newer flat screens and full keyboard. I always loved the helicopter and boat :classic:

This was one of my favourite sets as a child. The jail was really well done!

By the way - is that the wrong windshield piece on the boat in the individual photo?
