Short answer
The reported Sheriff's Station front-door code is 1715. To obtain the clue in your game, photograph the broken radio behind the station, then match its setting on the truck radio near the Route 13 exit. You need the flashlight to reach that dark route.
Reach Riverside and the station exterior. This is beyond the PC demo route covered by our older guides. Follow your own radio conversation if it gives different digits; the evidence here does not establish behavior across every save or patch.
1. Record the broken police radio
Find the police car in the parking area behind the station. Its radio cannot make the call, but its dial is the reference you need. Photograph it so you can compare the setting later.

2. Pick up the flashlight at Wing Oil
If the Route 13 path is too dark, go to Wing Oil's rear yard and switch on the fusebox. Re-enter through the front, pass through the interior to the workshop, and collect the flashlight from the floor. The written walkthrough describes an enemy encounter on the way out; prepare before taking it.
3. Tune the working truck radio
Continue toward the Route 13 exit and interact with the truck. Match the broken radio's dial setting, then let the conversation finish. Write down the door digits you receive before returning to the station.

4. Return to the front-door keypad
Use the keypad at the station entrance and enter the four-digit door code. Into Indie Games reports 1715 for its run. A partly entered number in the video is not the whole combination. Confirm that the door opens before moving on.

If you are still stuck
The first radio is broken. Am I missing a repair item?
Use that radio as a dial reference. The call is made from the separate truck radio, not from the police car.
1715 does not open this lock. What should I check?
Confirm you are at the station's exterior entrance. The office safe and the interrogation-room lock are different puzzles. For the front door, compare the full radio dialogue in your own game and clear any partial input before trying again.
Can I follow the video without the flashlight?
The short video skips the flashlight pickup. Get it from the Wing Oil workshop before attempting the dark Route 13 approach.
Does this open the sheriff's safe too?
No. This guide ends at the front entrance. Do not enter the front-door code into another puzzle simply because it is in the same building.
