I recently got a Police Force delivered by a buddy. It was in the back of his truck for a 2 hour journey. He forgot to give me the keys and mailed them to me. So I am finally ready to put the legs on and try it. I opened up the backglass and found two components that were loose in the backbox. I only see one empty spot on the boards. Maybe a component was replaced and they left the old one in there and now the new one fell out on the ride? It did work before he loaded it up. I haven't plugged it in yet. Thought I would check with the experts before I do anything. I am going to a tournament today so I can ask some other more knowledgeable players in person. I have attached some photos showing the components, boards, and empty spots.

I also noticed the display tabs have come loose in shipping. Can I just use super glue to reattach?

I wouldn't use super glue.

I think Marco sells what you need to re-attach the displays.

Here's the ROM listings for police force. Does not appear that U20 is used.

I would use some silastic to re-attach the display. That way the display can be easily removed in the future if it needs replacement.

Those could be old, bad ROMs that were just laying around in the backbox.

I was gunna say. If that thing was handled in such a way that ROMs were popping out, I think the cab would be in multiple pieces before that happened.

Quoted from vid1900:

Unless they were SCANBE sockets.

Those things practically eject ROM chips....
