Where do the police have to take blood tests hospital or police station?

That depends, if the police station has a registered nurse on staff the blood can be drawn there. If the suspect was injured the police can accompany them to the hospital and have the hospital staff drawn the blood using a kit provided by the police. The most important thing is the blood must have documented continuity of care. Big hospitals usually won't run the test because the use tube systems to transport blood from care areas to the lab and blood is moved throughout the lab by different techs which is difficult to maintain continuous care.
