I was at the police station because I was writing a paper about the police and their impact on society.
I would be spending a couple of days at the station for research.
The first time I went there, I was interviewing policemen at the station and could not ignore the buzzing from the heater. The quality of air was also nothing to write home about. I figured it had something to do with dirty furnace filters. I pointed it to the chief of police when I was interviewing him about creating great working conditions for the staff. The furnace/heater installation had been done about a decade ago and the heating repair was done about a year before. All this, I later found from the janitor when I complained about the cold within the station. The heat and AC products looked neglected, and though the air was musky, the policemen seemed to be used to it. There was, however, a wireless thermostat for the boiler in the basement. The janitor had not noticed any recent heater maintenance in a year. Despite the neglect, the electric heating system was still working albeit not as efficiently. As we wrapped up lunchtime we heard loud bhang and all the officers removed their guns and crouched down. We later found out that it was the HVAC system from the heating dealership. The HVAC techs later said that the issue was from a worn-out component. The techs executed the HVAC service plan and also checked on the heated floors in the washrooms. It was an exhilarating experience that I will not forget and my research was spot on.
