The Sheriff's Office is the sheriff's department building in Riverside, with a ground floor and a basement. You can only reach it from Riverside: through the front doors, which need a keypad code, or through the Parking lot behind it. In the full game's files it holds 22 rooms and 55 items, documents and containers.
For the rest of the town, start at the Silver Pines walkthrough hub.

The station sits in Riverside, and both of its doors lead back there; no other part of town connects to it. The front doors in Riverside are locked with a keypad, and its code is the same in every save.
Walkthroughs and launch-day playthroughs get the code the same way. Look inside the police car with its lights on in the Parking lot behind the station and note how its radio is set. Then take the Flashlight along the dark road towards the Route 13 exit, set the radio in the truck there the same way, and a deputy answers with the front-door code. The number itself is on the puzzle solutions page under Riverside.
Once you are inside, walkthroughs report that the Reception door to the left of the entrance is locked from the other side. You open it later from within, which gives you a shortcut back to the front doors.
The station's own map is the fire escape plan on a wall in the north wing, according to walkthroughs. It marks every room, so it is worth taking before the basement gets busy.
| Key | Where it is | What it opens | The game's description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basement Key | Office, in a lockbox on the wall | The gate into the basement holding cells | Key to the basement at the sheriff's department. |
| Evidence Lockup Key | Office, inside the safe | The locked inner room of Evidence, where the Crowbar is | A key found at the Sheriff's department. |
| Armory Key | Cell B, in the basement | The inner gate of the Armory, where the Model 7 Rifle is | Key to the armory at the sheriff's department. |
| North Wing Key | Storage, on a key rack in the basement | The door into the Pantry, on the way to Briefing | Key to the North wing at the sheriff's department. |
| Weapon Case Key | Cold Storage, in a drawer that needs a handle | The Weapon Utility Case, not a door | Small key for a weapon utility case. |
| Locker Key | Parking lot | No door in the game files | Locker key, found near the sheriff's department. |
The North Wing Key has no pickup spot in the game's map data, so its place on the basement key rack comes from walkthroughs. The Locker Key lies at the Parking lot, but the game files do not tie it to any door, so this page does not guess what it opens.
The station has two lock puzzles that matter: the safe in the Office and the keypad on the interrogation room door. A third, the cold storage drawer, leads to a weapon upgrade. All the clues sit in rooms listed on this page, and the code numbers are kept on one page, the Sheriff's Office section of puzzle solutions.
The safe is a dial, not a keypad. Walkthroughs solve it from three things:
Walkthroughs report that the safe holds the Evidence Lockup Key and .223 rounds for the rifle.
A deputy is locked in the interrogation room in the basement and asks you to open the keypad door in return for a cassette tape. Its code does not change between saves. Two clues lead to it, according to walkthroughs:
The License Plate is in the alley behind the Parking lot, near the boarded-up way into the Range. The number for the door is on the puzzle solutions page.
One drawer in Cold Storage is missing its handle. Walkthroughs shoot out the vent in Cold Storage, climb through into Cell A and take the Metal Handle, then come back the same way. The handle opens the drawer, which holds the Weapon Case Key. The key opens the Weapon Utility Case from the Armory, and inside is the Six-Shot Cylinder, "a 6 chamber cylinder for a .38 revolver."
Items and documents use the game's own English names. Containers are listed by count only, because what a container holds varies.
Four more documents belong to the station without a spot on the map: the Diary Page, the Incident Report, the Interrogation Room Booking Sheet and the Sheriff's Office Door Code. Walkthroughs find the Incident Report in a filing cabinet in the Archive and the booking sheet on a table near the interrogation room.
Player walkthroughs follow much the same order through the station:
How the bells fit into the rest of the game is on the walkthrough hub, and the Silver Pines map shows the station's rooms in place. For everything else in Silver Pines, see the guide hub.
The room-by-room lists come from the full game's files. The order through the station, where the clues hang and how they combine come from walkthroughs written before launch and from launch-day playthroughs; every check against the launch files matched, but a patch can move things.
Three details are still open. The North Wing Key and the cable car bell have no pickup spot in the map data, so how you get them comes from walkthroughs only. The files place a second Weapon Utility Case in a basement corridor, and walkthroughs mention only the one in the Armory. The Locker Key has no door in the files. This page is checked again after each patch.
Through the front doors in Riverside, which need a keypad code. Walkthroughs report that a deputy gives you the code over a truck radio near the Route 13 exit once you set the radio like the one in the police car behind the station. The number is on the puzzle solutions page.
Find the four paintings (Lobby, Archive, the corridor outside Cold Storage and the Garden plaque), read the Sheriff's Office Book in the Office for the turn directions, and read the Safe Manual Page in Storage A for how to turn the dial. Walkthroughs report the safe holds the Evidence Lockup Key.
In Lockup (inner cells), the locked inner room of Evidence at the Sheriff's Office. The Evidence Lockup Key from the Office safe opens it. The game describes the crowbar as able to "break wooden objects."
Pry Badge 0013 out of the body in Cold Storage with the crowbar, then use the License Plate on the projector in Briefing to read how to turn the badge number into the code. The code is the same in every save and is on the puzzle solutions page.
On a key rack in Storage, in the basement, according to walkthroughs; it has no pickup spot in the game's map data. It opens the Pantry door on the way to Briefing.
