LEGO City 7288 Mobile Police Unit

LEGO set 7288, “Mobile Police Unit”, depicts a mobile police unit for response scenes and prisoner handling. Released in 2011 in the City theme, within the Police subtheme, it contains 408 pieces and 3 minifigures.

This model belongs to LEGO City Police and focuses on a mobile law enforcement scenario. Set 7288 is not centered on a fixed police station, but on an operational unit that supports patrol, arrest and prisoner transport stories within a city setting.

The set includes 408 pieces and 3 minifigures. The characters are a criminal with a prison shirt marked number 50380, dark bluish gray legs, black hat and stubble, a policeman with a medium blue shirt, badge and tie, black legs and dark brown hair, and a policeman wearing a black jacket with zipper, radio, badge and “POLICE” on the back, plus a white helmet with visor and silver sunglasses.

It suits role play built around urban police work, while also fitting into a City collection focused on service and emergency vehicles. Within the Police subtheme, it is best understood as a mobile operations set rather than a building based police headquarters.
