BUILDING DOSSIER

Reading police space.

Precinct station location and patrol territory

Headquarters and bureau geography

Entrances, desks, holding areas, garages, communications, and circulation when supported by records

Connections to the Map Room and Detroit Police history

Case-specific activity remains teaser-level

VERIFICATION FIRST

Stations, headquarters, bureaus, and other police buildings are named and dated only when the location and use can be supported.
