Police Station[edit]
The Police Station is run by Copper and Booker and is where random items can be found. Copper is in charge of greeting the player when they exit, and knows when special visitors are in your town.

The Dump is where Villager's drop random items they don't want anymore, two to three items appear everday and you can take them if you want. And is where you can drop trash from fishing like tires, empty cans and boots which you can't sell, or unwanted items you don't want to sell at Nooks.
