A shot was heard in the building at about 7 o'clock on Friday morning.
The force said a service pistol was found next to the 33-year-old constable inside a washroom and a suicide note was also found.
The officer, who was a member of the emergency unit, was pronounced dead after being taken to the Prince of Wales Hospital.
