I noticed it's a pretty split decision. A lot of people decide not to build the police station, as not to clutter their town or map. It's more of a cosmetic item than anything.

So here's my question. Did you build one? If you didn't, why did you decide against it? :lemon:
 
i did build it
 
I built it thinking it would be just like the GameCube version. Booker and Copper would be together and deliver their personality contrasts. I always loved that about them in Animal Crossing. That and it would tell me when certain people would show up in town and keep me updated on their whereabouts.

I placed mine on this little island strip, so it's not really in the way. It is kind of annoying that certain pwps can't be demolished and or moved. That should be an option and hopefully it will be in whatever future title.
 
I did and I regret it.
It is ugly and useless.
Even more time consuming, getting rid of the junk that accumulates. :(
 
Yes, and that's exactly what I use it for: cosmetics. But I like to use it if possible because I have a nostalgic streak for the Gamecube. And also because it works in the towns I chose to place it. If it doesn't work I won't put it. I already made the huge mistake of trying to force it in one town and I reset that town because I made a mess of the police station, campsite, and their proximity to town hall...
 
I did it because I want the sloppy series and also I like knowing whats going on in town/whos in town (i.e., phineas,saharah,gulliver,etc) i wish you could relocate it instead of having the location be permanent tho :/
 
I'm actually letting mine fill up all the way with pitfalls. It's taking some time though.
 
I built it and don't regret it. I never use it and sure it takes up space, but it's nice to go there once in awhile to see what "lost" items you can take home :)

I chose the regular police station so I got Booker and I think he's adorable lol. the only downside to the police station is that if you find a lost item on the ground, they can't do anything about it. I took it to Booker once thinking he'd find the owner for me but he apparently can never leave the station... Ever.

In an entire year I never got any sloppy furniture from the cop station.

I got the whole set from Re-Tail. ^_^
 
I use the classic police station! I'd prefer Copper but I like the design of the classic as well as fitting my theme better ;o; (Copper even has the same birthday as me and Kidd! June 28th!) But I still love little Booker!
I don't know why, but I just really like the idea of having a police station in such a tame and calm game. It's kinda entertaining.

I'm sure they're bored out of their heads, but that entertains me too. Imagine the next game featuring you as the warden of an Animal Crossing prison, rather than the mayor of a town. Crimes like 'Muffy steals from own bank account' and 'Sable caught working after hours'.

:rolleyes: I'd buy it.
 
And the final will be busting Nook and Lyle as the headmasters of all the criminals. But then it's revealed in the ending that even they were figureheads for Slider. They're escorted to prison as he plays a solemn tune and packs his bags.
 
I built it in my own town and plan on building it in this town! I honestly really like having the police station

The credits roll as he whistles a cover of Only Me, soon swapping his guitar for a harmonica.

In my old town that I had since abt 2013/14ish I got only 2 sloppy things :/ just trynna keep all my sloppy options (sloptions) open !! lol
 
I have indeed had the police station constructed in two of my towns, and intend to have it constructed in the other two towns as well. I feel like the station can add some character to a town, and it's an added bonus that you can sometimes find cardboard or sloppy furniture set items in the police station's lost-and-found. I like the station designs pretty evenly, as they both work well depending on what sort of theme your town has.

I especially like the police station in my main town since it's a horror-themed town and I enjoy the thought of a bumbling, incompetent but heartwarming policeman who is wholly unaware of the town's darker side. I feel like I generally prefer Copper despite his comparative lack of distinct character in New Leaf, but Booker just fits so much better in the main town.
 
I've got it!
Personally, I really love little Booker.
He's so dopey...

Sloptions!
LOVE IT! :D

I must admit, I couldn't get the sloppy stereo, and bought one from here. ^_^
 
i've never thought of NOT building it, actually heh... i like the way the wooden police station looks in both my towns so it's always been built :')
 
I've been almost afraid of building it because I don't want my map to look weird or sloppy, haha! I guess that's me just letting OCD win, though. I should build it and not sweat it so much.
