I the meantime we could see loads of people walking around with coffee cups and chatting - there seemed to be plenty of people there but Police business was taking second place. Apparently they would rather stay in the station than go out on patrol.

Malicious damage to your brothers car is hardly crime of the century, import to you and him, but not a priority.
Ok you didn't get served for half an hour, but maybe the desk clerk was on their rest break and due to cuts, they only had one on duty.
As for the rest of them, their duties do not include answering the front desk, its a specific job, assigned to a specific person.
As in a hospital, a brain surgeon doesn't do gynaecological work
Maybe the others were custody staff, traffic, intelligence officers, or other non frontline staff. Maybe they were frontline staff in for rest periods or shift change over and been to their briefing?
Just because the car park was full, doesn't mean there were loads of coppers in the station hiding under their desks
