Police Stations With Sirens

Mon Jan 26, 2015 7:07 pm

Does anyone have any examples of police station with sirens on them? I know of one in Carroltown,PA. It's on the roof, easily viewable from the street. Ill try and get a picture up soon.

Jonesboro, Georgia's police station has a Thunderbolt beside it.

There used to be one (ACA RM-130) at the police station in Hoffman Estates, IL but was relocated when the new police station was built and the old one demolished.

The Police/Fire Station in Puyallup (WA) has a Fedelcode Model 5 on top of it.

The Orleans, MA Police Department has a Thunderbolt 1003 on the roof of its station. Don't think it's active though.

The only one I have ever seen in person is this STH-10 in Woodstock, NY. (Hippie land, haha.)

Sorry for all the branches in the way. I took the photo from the parking lot next door because I didn't want to actually pull into the police station and start taking pictures, haha. NY cops can be jerks.

I have seen a Model 2 near a police station somewhere else, but that doesn't count because it's for the firehouse right next to it.

Many sirens were placed on police stations as they were usually manned by someone able to activate them (unlike a VFD).

There used to be a Thunderbolt on top of one of Cincinnati's police stations, and the only other police stations I can think of that had sirens around here are ones that were in the same buildings as fire stations and/or municipal buildings.
