Glen and me
Got the camera back today, at attempt #5. It's hard to imagine a den of officiousdom than Sydenham police station. Lots of tubby men with moustaches sitting at desks, backed up with their little police martial arts statuettes and models of armoured personnel carriers. (Actually, it was worse under apartheid. One of the Cape Town police stations had in it the sign "If we wanted your opinion, we'd have beaten it out of you.")
The photos are online here. I'm quite pleased with the last of them. It's the one that got the camera swiped in the first place.

There's an old cartoon in Private Eye from the not-so dim-and-distant days of Apartheid South Africa of a high-rise building, clearly a police station, with a chap sitting at a desk on the top floor next to a door opening out of the side of the building marked "complaints".
Perhaps that's the place you're looking for.
Well, the Independent Complaints Directorate is on the sixth floor...
