Before the war this building was the headquarters of Sierra Madre Security, the small human guard force Frederick Sinclair hired from police departments elsewhere. It stands in the southwest of the Villa, at the end of the winding West Villa alleys and Cloud-filled hallways. Ghost People hunt around it, and Dean Domino admits he raided it for shotguns, land mines and explosives. Father Elijah warns on arrival that radios here can set off your collar: four on the main floor around the cells and offices and one in the basement. Each can be switched off by hand or simply shot.
Find Collar 8: "Dog" is solved here. The super mutant Dog is chained in the large cell, and the voice of God speaks to you as you head down into the basement. In the last basement room, next to a radio, lies the Dog Command Tape. Play it in front of the cell and God takes control; you can recruit God as he is or play Elijah's recording to bring Dog back, which decides the companion perk you get. The station also has a usable bed and a Reloading Bench, making it one of the few places in the Villa where you can rest.
The building rewards a careful search. The contraband room left of the entrance has no key and opens only through the Police Chief's Hard-locked terminal next to it; inside are weapons including an Automatic Rifle. Vending machine codes for Steady, the weapon repair kit, .308 rounds and .357 Magnum rounds are spread across the offices, bathrooms and contraband room. One of Dean's secret stashes is in the ladies' bathroom, the 8 of Spades for the Dead Man's Hand challenge is in the back corner of Dog's cell, and the basement holds several skill magazines and a copy of Grognak the Barbarian.
How to get there
From the Villa fountain head west, then work south through the West Villa courtyards to the station in the southwest corner of the Villa.

Tips
- Turn radios off by hand instead of shooting them to save ammunition.
- Use the bed and Reloading Bench here; safe places to rest are rare in the Villa.
- Recruit Dog and talk to him after he eats a Ghost Person to earn the Ghost Hunter perk; with the Cannibal perk the option appears as soon as he leaves the cage.
