MAIN STATION TOURS If you've never seen a major police headquarters before, let us show you this unique building dedicated to law enforcement. There are six floors, four floors above ground and two floors below ground, with a courtyard on the second floor. It's a beautiful structure that echoes many of the traditional buildings of Downtown Honolulu, with its red tile roof, stucco exterior, and refreshing courtyard.
