Are the police (open/operating/working)

Hi

What word would you pick to say

Are the police still (open/operating/working) after the government shutdown?

Is the Post Office (open/operating/working) on weekends?

Note, that I'm looking for a word that can be used appropriately in similar contexts, those examples I gave you are just to help you understand what I'm after.

Edit: And sorry I just realized I posted in the wrong section of the forums.
Thanks!
