Located in the same buildings as the courthouse and the district attorney's office, the police station is the place where take place investigations and questioning of the Santa Barbara police.

Besides the office of the police officers, a well known room is that where witnesses and suspects are questioned. It is also there that the families of the persons under police custody or imprisoned can come to visit them.

The office the most seen in the show is unquestionably Cruz Castillo's. He studies there clues, testimonies, alibis in association with the district attorney of moment. Cruz will have worked with many colleagues, among them officer Maggie Gillis, detective Paul Whitney, lieutenant Vic Boswell, officer Ramon Fonseca and detectives Jodie and Reese Walker...

In 1992, the Walker couple takes its quarters in a wider office, where Connor McCabe comes to assist them afterward.

Adjacent to the police station, the prison is the place dreaded by all the criminals and the victims of miscarriages of justice. Dark and without intimacy, the cells are only successions of bars and violence. Among the many characters to have stayed there, we can quote Lionel Lockridge for the murder of Channing Capwell Junior, Ted Capwell for the rape of Christie DuVall, Angel Ramirez for drug trafficking, Gus Jackson for the theft of the Orient Express, Brick Wallace for the rape of Hayley Benson, Cruz Castillo for the murder of Elena Nikolas, T.J. Daniel for the poisoning of Kelly Capwell, Gina Capwell, Mack Blake, Derek Griffin, Craig Hunt, Warren Lockridge for the death of Amado Gonzalez, Sawyer and B.J. Walker for the murder of Frank Goodman...

To note that Brick Wallace will be for a while, in 1987, a guard in that same prison.

This plan was used to illustrate the police station, while this building is usually supposed to represent the Capwell Hotel.
The explanation is simple : this building is to be, in the real city of Santa Barbara, that of the real police station (see
A trip in the real Santa Barbara).
