In The Terminator, which Los Angeles police station does Sarah Connor reach for protection?

The story behind the answer

In The Terminator, Sarah Connor reaches West Highland Police Station for protection.

After the Terminator attacks her at Tech-Noir, Sarah and Kyle Reese are arrested and taken to the station. Sarah believes the police can protect her from the apparently unstoppable killer, while Reese tries to explain that the attacker is a machine from the future.

The station later becomes the site of the Terminator’s famous assault. It enters the building disguised as a police officer and demands to see Sarah, leading to the line “I’ll be back” before it returns with a vehicle.

West Highland is a fictional Los Angeles police station within the film. It should not be confused with the real Los Angeles Police Department locations used for production or with the nightclub where Sarah was first attacked.
