Almost certainly between September 14, 1901 and March 4, 1909. The giveaway is the picture of Theodore Roosevelt in the police station. The only non-current presidents whose picture would be hanging on the wall would usually be Washington and Lincoln, otherwise it would always be the current president. There might be reasons for hanging a portrait on the wall before or after the subject was president if he was famous in the area, and Roosevelt was famous in New York, but his picture on the wall plus other indications of the period pretty well nails it.
