agree  Sandro Tomasi: That works! An alternative would be 10th Precinct or, explicitly 10th Police Precinct. // Why should I put it up as an answer if you've already got it right? I'm just offering a synonymous alternative.

  -> Thank you and gracias. Es muy linda.

neutral  AllegroTrans: "10th numbered" sounds very odd and "precinct" is only suitable for USA
9 hrs
  -> Numbered had been put in 'as bait' for comments, plus precinct prefixed with AmE, though query: shopping precincts & https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Precinct_of_St_Katherin...
