The Police Station (交番 kōban) is a small, cylindrical building that only appears in Animal Crossing and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Its sole purpose was to accomodate items for the 'Lost and Found', a service that stores items that villagers around town had found. The player could claim all of the items on display without consequence. Twenty items can be stored in the police station at one time, after which the old ones are replaced. Items such as stationary, clothing and furniture can all be found on display.
The police station has the town map displayed on a board outside, and a small paved area around it. Copper the dog, stands outside to give the player information regarding events, while Booker waits within the building to try to assist the player. Copper will thank the player for visiting after they exit the building.
The police station was replaced by the Town Gate in subsequent games up until Animal Crossing: New Leaf where it returns where it is now home Booker and is the new place where the player can check their lost and found.
Trivia
- In Japan, it is known as a kōban, a small type of police station.
