World's Smallest Police Station Located in Friend, Nebraska, this tiny building has been in service as the local police station for decades. Unlike other towns that claim their station is the smallest, this station is regularly used by the town's officers. It contains all of the items you would normally find in a larger station including desks, computers, fax machines, etc.

World's Smallest Cop Shop? I came across this architectural gem in Friend, Nebraska early last month. If not the smallest police station it has got to be in the running. Friend, on the other hand was by no means the smallest town I have ever seen, pretty much just a typical town on the prairie.
Until this discovery the smallest police station I ever saw was in Chelsea, Michigan and that one was about twice the size of this -- the Chelsea station is now a small bakery.
[Richard Weiss, 11/18/2006]On the north side of Highway 6 in Friend (my hometown), sits THE nation's (and possibly the World's) smallest police station. I've never been inside it (Thank Goodness!), but I've been in residential bathrooms twice its size!!! As the name reflects, most of the residents of this small (pop.1100) community are quite friendly!
