Americans use both "bring in" and "take in." There's not much difference in meaning.

Thank you.I asked if this is correct:
Does to take in somebody mean to go and take somebody to the police office and someone answered no
Then I found this http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/take-sb-in

You know what I meant. Because if you don't go to someone's place you will not be able to take that person to the police station.
Thanks anyway
