local precinct

Area police office

A local precinct is a small administrative district, typically the smallest unit of political or police organization in an area.

In elections, it's where residents go to vote: She's been working her local precinct for the Democratic Party.

In law enforcement, it refers to a neighborhood police station and its jurisdiction: Report the theft at your local precinct.
