NYPD office sitting in the center of Times Square

Last but not least, why wouldn’t the police want to join in the fun? The NYPD office here looks entirely unique from its other institutional-looking concrete structures, with white and blue letters highlighting the letters NYPD. Even at a single story height, this NYPD office sitting right in the middle of Times Square is probably the most eye catching structure besides the famous red steps. But changes are afoot for this police station, as the New York Times reports.
