If Rebecca were still a patrol officer, she’d want to work at Central Station. It had nothing to do with the physical space, which looked like Hollywood’s version of an old, grubby precinct with a high front desk to meet the public, and a cluttered open room for the officers with mismatched, ancient desks. To make matters worse, it was at street level below a multi-storied parking garage. But as in real estate, it was all about the location. Central Station was on Vallejo Street between Grant and Stockton, an area where Chinatown blended with North Beach. Of the city’s nine police stations, Central patrolled seven of the top ten San Francisco tourist attractions, including Fisherman’s Wharf, Coit Tower, Union Square, Nob Hill, and Russian Hill, as well as the city’s major hotels.
