In every great holiday village, there’s a place that stands for safety, order, and community support. With Precinct 12 Police, Lemax introduces a 2024 Caddington Village piece that brings these values to life — all with a festive twist. Glistening lights, decorated windows, and civic pride meet in this charming holiday police station.
As a collector, I love when buildings blend functionality with holiday charm, and this one pulls it off with style. Let’s explore why Precinct 12 Police is more than just another civic building — it’s the heart of a well-run, cheerful Christmas town.

- Traditional Layout: Features wide entry steps, front flag post, and public-facing windows.
- Christmas Accents: Subtle holiday touches show the officers are in the spirit of the season.
