Dutch term or phrase: adjudantkamer
See the explanation of my previous question. Adjudant = sergeant? But "sergeant" would translate as "wachtmeester" (this term is to follow later) or "brigadier".

I have looked at the "Taalvlinder" website, which includes an extensive list of police terms, but no luck so far ...

Thanks again!

Explanation:
An adjudant is definitely higher ranked than a sergeant. In English armed forces the equivalent would be a sergeant-major. The adjudantkamer would probably have been the office of the station chief's deputy.
