Police station, cop shop. Referring to the physical building of a police station or being detained there.
Вдруг её остановят, проверят документы, препроводят в ментовку и запрут вместе с проститутками.
Suddenly she is stopped, ID check, she is transferred to the nick and locked up with the prostitutes.
(Виктория Токарева, Своя правда, 2002)
