The police station having business hours is normal in my country and several other countries that I know of.

If you have an emergency the police will come of course. The patrolling and emergency response is separate from the business hours of the station.

I believe this is true in my little town in the US as well. Nothing out of the ordinary at all.

With that said, I'm reasonably certain even our town has open hours on the weekend...

"Sorry, retrieving property is Sgt SoAndSo's job, come back when he's here, which <checks schedule> is 2-10am Tuesday."

In US cities they have substations and neighborhood stations. I'd guess one of those.
