    Miami-Dade-Hawthorne-California Police Department

    ‘ My favorite is and I was absolutely obsessed with finding the location used as the Miami-Dade police department.  One of my good friends had an audition for and, knowing what a stalker I am, he took me with him to the studio in Redondo Beach so that I could scout locations.  I was hoping the building was located…
