...rum shop...
In days gone by, this is where you could find most officers who should be on duty, and, if they are off duty, you can scout many a rum shop on the island and you will difinitely find a po-po or two chilling there too.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.
By the way, what happened to walking the beat?

Am a bit confuse, when a call go out to the police do these Officers then jump in there vehicles and head to the crime scene like the Fire Officers do when there is a fire? or there is a radio call that goes out to all patrols in that area and around?
I give up.
