Local Police Station

Atmosphere: A hermetically sealed, windowless room. The walls are typically painted in a bland gray or pale green color that seems even more oppressive under dim, directed lighting

Furniture and Equipment: A rough metal or wooden table is the only item that truly takes center stage. Two or three uncomfortable chairs for the suspect and investigators. One wall made of glass, behind which other officers observe. Surveillance cameras are often unobtrusively built into the ceiling or corners

Atmosphere: Cold, damp, and uncomfortable. A persistent smell of disinfectant mixed with urine and sweat

Furniture and Equipment: The walls are smooth and painted with cheap paint. A bench for sitting or sleeping, depending on the time of detention. A large metal grate with thick bars

Atmosphere: Varied, but all are permeated with a sense of unfinished business and constant stress

Furniture and Equipment: Small, cramped offices. On the desks: piles of papers, printouts, folders, empty water bottles, old audio cassettes or CDs. Stationery lies scattered everywhere. On the walls: information boards, photos, sometimes maps

Atmosphere: The central hub of the station, where different people cross paths, but few feel comfortable here. The lighting brighter than in other areas, but it's impersonal and cold. A persistent smell of bleach and paper dust

Furniture and Equipment: A barrier of dark metal or glass separating visitors from staff. Several rows of uncomfortable plastic chairs occupied by those waiting. Information stands with legal notices and brochures. A coffee machine or vending machine. On the walls: portraits of police chiefs, shields with emblems, signs

Atmosphere: An attempt to create a place for rest which, however, looks unkempt and neglected. It used rarely, its just sole purpose is to give the appearance of caring for staff

Furniture and Equipment: An old television that might not work sometimes. A few saggy sofas or armchairs. A table tennis or billiard table

Atmosphere: A quiet place, smelling of detergents

Furniture and Equipment: Several stalls with doors. Sinks with faucets. Mirrors that have stains or splashes, although they are being wiped. Lighting is usually dim. Often, there is a lack of toilet paper or soap

Atmosphere: Silence isn't absolute, but a hushed symphony of clicking keyboards, the crackle of walkie-talkies, and the city's ever-present, distant drone. The air, thick and warm, hangs heavy in the room

Furniture and Equipment: A pairing of desks, a single computer for one operator. Maps, live feeds from surveillance cameras, real-time patrol movements. Dispatchers manage radio chatter, pinpoint GPS-tracked patrols, and triage the urgent flood of 911 calls. People are dying because of some operators' mistakes

CITF - Criminal Investigative Task Force

Atmosphere: More chaotic than regular offices. This is a place where tense but productive (or not so productive) work takes place. The air is saturated with the smell of coffee, cigarettes

Furniture and Equipment: Large tables covered with documents, maps, evidence photos, sticky notes, and markers. Whiteboards are covered with diagrams, timelines, and names of suspects

Age: 33 years old
Name: Megan Goodman
Appearance: She is dressed in a white suit of jacket and trousers, as well as black shoes. She has long, straight brown hair that she sometimes wears in a ponytail. She puts on her glasses, but only when needs to read some documents. Some people find her less attractive than other employees, but she doesn't care. This is due to the fact that she has a hooked nose, thin frowning eyebrows and an irritatingly straight posture. She has brown eyes
Personality: She is strict, fair, and compassionate. She doesn't like the police station where she works and the small salary, but she can still put the bastards behind bars here. She always gets to the bottom of things, even if she gets a little short-tempered when the interrogated person behaves inappropriately. Always sides with the victim
