Cop Shop

A "cop shop" is a slang term, primarily used in the United States, United Kingdom, and other English-speaking countries, to refer to a police station or police headquarters. It's a colloquial and often informal term, sometimes carrying a slightly negative or mocking connotation, depending on the context and tone of voice. The term is generally understood but rarely used in formal or official settings. It can also occasionally imply a place associated with corruption or heavy-handed policing, although this implication isn't always present.
