Description
The Police Station in Anno 1800 is an essential emergency service building. When riots break out, the Police station sends units to stop them, and even before that, it reduces the risk of riots within its influence range. Because its coverage is limited, you need to pay close attention to placement: the station reaches 48 tiles on dirt roads and 71 tiles on paved streets.
To keep your city stable, make sure your Police Stations cover both residential and industrial zones, since riots can start in either area. In areas where workers face harsher conditions, placing a station nearby becomes even more important.
If a riot does occur, the Police Station can also mobilise extra units when needed, giving you more control and helping you contain the situation quickly.

Mobilization
When looking at the Police Station in Anno 1800 it is worth taking a look at the mobilisation section. In this section it shows how many extra units can be despatched. When a riot breaks out they can spread very quickly throughout your cities and industrial zones. When this happens it is important that you mobilise the extra units that are available. Their are up to an extra three units that can be mobilised when needed.
- 1 unit if happiness value is +10 or higher, and population is at least 100
- 2 units if happiness value is +30 or higher, and population is at least 200
- 3 units if happiness value is +50 or higher, and population is at least 300
When we look at these values we can see the values that you will need to achieve to unlock extra units. If you are quick to enact mobilization of your extra units you will greatly reduce the damage caused by riots in your cities.
