Unfortunately, Genma was loath to do anything that would be considered heavy work. If a job that would allow him to relax most of the time would have come around, he would have taken it. But since no one was about to just drop a free position, especially one that he would like, into his lap, he'd just use the 'getting on in years' speech and talk about how it was his son's 'job' to 'take care of the father who had raised him' in his 'retirement'.
Still, Ranma liked to eat, and since he had to get a job any way, he figured that he would get one that he'd both be good at, and like somewhat. Which resulted in him being where he was at that moment, and going where he was going.

Couldn't the moron realize that a police parking lot always had somebody coming and going?
All together, this was not a promising start to her day. If she didn't get changed into her uniform and on with what she had to do quickly, she would have to deal with the Chief chewing her out. Which she would love to skip, if it was at all possible.
