“Lights, camera, action!” In 2006 TV2 propelled Station Bellahøj into the public eye. It was done through the fictional TV series “Anna Pihl”. But there is more to Station Bellahøj than just a TV appearance.
Københavns Politi, Station Bellahøj, is not just a building. It is a vital part of Copenhagen’s police force. It stands as one of the three largest police stations in the city. The others are Station City and Station Amager. Station Bellahøj is located on Borups Allé 266, in the northwest of Copenhagen.

Station Bellahøj works closely with the Prosecution Division Bellahøj. This division handles cases from both Station Bellahøj and Station Amager. It also deals with specific cases. These involve violations of the Aliens Act. They include document forgery or identity fraud at Copenhagen Airport.
Beyond its fictional portrayal, Station Bellahøj has real-world significance. TV2’s crime program “Station 2” has featured clips from the station. The program highlighted a special task force. This “Burglary” unit operated in inner Copenhagen. This shows the station’s active role in fighting crime.
