Lego Modular Building 2021 Police Station

The LEGO 10278 Police Station is the 2021 entry in the popular modular building series, released on January 1, 2021, with a total of 2,923 pieces and 5 minifigures[1][2][4]. The set retailed for US$199.99 at launch and was styled in classic New York architecture, designed to be a vibrant centerpiece for LEGO city displays, complete with a donut shop and a newspaper kiosk flanking the main station building[1]. Its dimensions are 37cm high, 25cm wide, and 25cm deep[1][5].

This three-level build is packed with clever design details and storytelling features:

  • Ground floor contains the main entrance, reception area, jail cell (with escape tunnel), and a donut shop filled with sweet treats.
  • Second floor includes a detective’s office with an evidence board (featuring red strings connecting clues), a mugshot area, and a small apartment above the donut shop with a secret hatch for the donut thief to access free treats[2][3][7].
  • Top floor offers an interrogation room, an evidence room, and even a small bathroom—one of the first LEGO modulars to feature two restrooms[2][5].

The set’s minifigures represent police officers, a donut shop owner, a mischievous donut thief, and feature 1940s-inspired styling, allowing ample storytelling possibilities[1][6].

Additional highlights include detailed interior furnishings (rotary phone, typewriter, water cooler, climbing plants), removable floors for easy play and display, and playful narrative elements such as the ongoing donut heist mystery[2][3][6].

This modular is now retired, but it remains a fan favorite for both display value and its range of interactive, story-driven features[5][6].
