Same in Switzerland, alas it's the designated passport office and not a police station.
They have a specially kited photo booth, where you also leave two fingerprints for additional biometric verification.
In order to renew your passport you need to schedule an appointment withyour local passport office.
Last time I renewed, 2013, it took 7 weeks until the earliest available appointment, which was a bit surprising. I'm sure, though, there's an emergency shortcut for a price.

The new passport arrives two days later by mail.
