Got the job from Maggie Chow to get into the police station vault. Now, I'm very suspicious of her, but breaking into the police station might give me skill points, gas grenades, prod ammo, and that feeling I got when I stole from the police station in Thief 2.
The problem is, whatever police-y door I go in to, I get the entire might of the Hong Kong police force trying to kill me just for lockpicking or just being seen. Which door am I supposed to get in to and are there any suggested methods for avoiding conflicts?
Keep spoilers to a minimum.
And, as a side note, I was trying to think of a hypothetical way to keep Paul alive in the Ton Hotel battle without killing anyone, but I don't even think Gas Grenades and Tranq Darts could do the trick. You'd have to have some mad skills...

You can get in via the roof, that just takes whacking the guy on the top.
The first time I went in from the back door, not the one in the market, and then you RUN and prod the first guy you saw through the window.
You could just butcher them all.

This is how I usually deal the HK police station situation:
I open one of the doors - the back door or the market side door - by multitool or by dialing the keycode. I eliminate the two policemen with pepper spray and riot prod. I've never had any problems when dealing the situation this way.

The first time I ever played, the Maid accidentally
opened a secret passage in magie chows flat.
this dispelled any doubts I had about her, I also
took the wrong lift the first time and a homless
girl on that floor sets your suspicions up.
As a result I've never raided the police station
other than after all the cops were dead and i
was exploring a bit of the map I hadn't seen before.

You can use the ladders next to the lift where you
first enter the market, but I'm about to start another
thread on this sort of thing....

Typically, I go in through one of the side doors (seeing as I know the code already, it's pretty obvious, at least to Americans, and if you do get in, there's a datacube inside that tells you). And Thermoptic-Camo past the guy sitting there. Of course, if you do this, make sure you have a second one handy for the way back.
I believe the H.K. police force goes after you if they know you've been in the station. Either stay out of the station, or make sure no one knows. (I think the only exception is the guy on the roof, he doesn't seem to care that you've climbed the ladder to get up there.)
As to Paul in the 'Ton. You don't actually have to kill anyone... Surprisingly enough, Paul is immortal. Just let him do the killing. ^^ Make sure to keep him in sight though. If he disappears for too long, he's gone 'til the next time you see him.

how do you opent he door in teh very back of the police station? the one on the floor...

Maggie gives you the code.
You can't make the jump to the police station from the roof of the shop as the ceiling gets in the way. Move the metal crate.
What gave Maggie away was her stupid, stupid story. then I waslooking for ready cash and heard someone coughing. The walls are too thin by the stairs. Oh and then I read her emails.
