Seabrook Police Station

Inspector Wainwright asks that enquiries be made in writing.

Seabrook Police Station is in the north-west of the town, near the river. The officer in charge is Inspector Colin Wainwright.

The front desk is attended by the desk sergeant during the hours shown. Members of the public wishing to see the Inspector should state their business at the desk. His office is at the back of the building and smells of carpet cleaner. Visitors are shown through if he is available. He is not always available.

Enquiries should be made in writing and will be answered in due course. Reports should be concrete and specific. Missing cats are noted.

Parking is a matter for the Town Hall, and the harbour for the harbourmaster. Correspondence on those subjects should not be addressed to the Inspector.

Holmes wisdom: Asked whether the cat helps, Penrose says he keeps the windowsill warm. Asked again, he says the same thing more slowly.
