precincts
Police station territories
Precincts are bounded areas or districts.
In American elections, a precinct is the smallest voting unit—the neighborhood where you cast your ballot: Which precinct do you vote in?
Police precincts are jurisdictional zones and the stations within them.
In British usage, precincts often means the grounds surrounding a building: within the precincts of the cathedral.
The singular precinct shares all these meanings but appears less frequently.
