Paraphrased:
"There is no need to go the station directly. If, for some reason, an investigator needs to speak with you, he or she will contact you."
The way I read it goes like this:
"It is a waste of our time for you to come to the station; however, if we need to talk to you about something, your telephone will ring."

It means that the police department doesn't revolve around you and your compaint. Investigators have work to do and are not going to drop everything just because you graced them with your presence.

Can you give further explanation? Depending on the situation the statement could mean different things.
But anyway. Basicall that means that the case is going to an investigator if the investigator needs more information than the patrol officer recieved from you the investigator will call you. Most departments do not have 24 hr investigotors. so you going to the station when the investigator is not there will in fact waste your time.

I read it "Coming to the station will not be the best use of your time, If we need more information that what we have now, we will contact you."
To me it read like they were respecting your time and working to your convenience.

It means that unless you witnessed a murder we will have to call you back when we are done talking to the person that did

Don't call us, we'll call you. Now leave us in peace and let us watch the rest of the golf.

It means that they are not arresting you and that you shouldn't leave town.
