Are police stations in Tasmania staffed overnight? In smaller towns, is there typically at least one officer present at the police station during the night, or do they leave it locked and unattended? I know this is a bit of an unusual question, but I’m working on some fiction and would appreciate any insights you can share. Thanks!

Australians are making fewer trips to the US—are we really surprised by this? Would you consider traveling to the US right now, or would you opt for a different destination?
In Tasmania, police staffing can vary depending on the size of the town and the specific police station. Generally, larger city stations have 24-hour staffing, while smaller towns may not have officers on-site at all times overnight. In many small towns, there might be one officer on duty who can respond to emergencies, but the station itself may not be staffed or open to the public during late hours. Often, in smaller areas, officers may be required to patrol the surrounding regions or respond to calls from home. For your fiction, it might be realistic to depict a small town where the police station is locked overnight, but there is still an officer available to respond to emergencies if needed.
