Explanation
The word combines สถานี (station) and ตำรวจ (police). สถานี refers to a base or facility for a service, as well as a railway station. Common patterns include ไปสถานีตำรวจ (go to the police station) and ที่สถานีตำรวจ (at the police station). Use the classifier แห่ง when counting these facilities: สถานีตำรวจสองแห่ง means “two police stations.”
Usage
Use this word when asking for directions to a police station or discussing where to file a report after a theft or other incident. It also appears on maps, signs, and in news reports.
Caution
ตำรวจ by itself means “police” or “police officer.” Use สถานีตำรวจ when you specifically mean the station.
