There is only one such tower in that little town, Berman. So by naming the town I think you got close enough...... And although it would probably not fit police stations anywhere "in the world" it certainly will fit police stations anywhere in Australia :) The people in this town are lucky... at least they have a police car (called "paddy wagon")in front of it so there must be some policemen around... That is not the case everywhere.

It is named after a chap who I suppose is well known in some circles - I understand he started a rather large company in the US.

I doubt whether he was famous in the normal sense of the word, even in the US, but he could have been. I can't say for sure, but his was probably not a household name like, say Bill Gates. The company he co-founded is very well known, and I'm sure you would have heard of it. I guess they liked him well enough in BC, especially after he gave them his house and its lands. He's been dead for a few years now, but he apparently reached triple digits.
