The East Boston Police Station in Fallout 4 is a ruined, partially flooded law enforcement location found in the eastern area of The Commonwealth, situated west of East Boston Preparatory School and just north of Boston Airport[1][3]. Its interior is mostly collapsed, with debris creating a makeshift path to the second floor. The ground level jail cells are accessible through broken walls, and several dead bodies can be looted for useful items[1].
The police station’s lower floor is flooded and will cause radiation damage (about 10 rads) if you enter without precautions[5]. The second floor can be reached through fallen debris, where you’ll find a terminal in the rear corner. This terminal reveals other police station locations via holotapes and specifically unlocks South Boston Police Station’s location[1][3]. There is also a police evidence terminal located in the northwestern corner of the top floor[5].
One highlight inside is the Eddie Winter Holotape 6, essential for Nick Valentine’s companion quest “Long Time Coming.” You can find it in a desk at the top floor of the station[1][3][6]. Additionally, some health containers can be lockpicked for extra items[1].
Directly next to the station is a small garage containing minor random loot[5]. Nearby, a flooded warehouse offers more scavenging opportunities[7]. The general area is relatively safe compared to other Commonwealth locales, though Sentry Bots patrol further east near the highway, posing a considerable threat[3].
The East Boston Police Station is involved in two quests: the random event “Checkpoint Defense” for the Railroad faction, and serves as a critical location for “Long Time Coming,” Nick Valentine’s side quest[1][6]. In Sim Settlements 2 mod gameplay, it appears as a quest site for “Capturing Police Depository,” where the player must defeat scavengers and restore power to access a BPD Protectron stash terminal[8].
