> ここ最近 出署してない

What exactly is this sentence trying to say? I realise that 出 is supposed to
be a verb here, but why is it placed before 署, a noun, and not after? And what
is the してない portion trying to represent, by being tied to 署?

question
grammar
How 出 + noun + して works in this sentence
We usually use [出署]{しゅっしょ}する to mean "go the police station (to work)"
(警察官などが署に出勤すること).

[出署]{しゅっしょ} is a two-kanji compound noun, which we use to mean "going to the
police station". And it can be used as a する-verb, which means you can attach
する to the noun and it can function as a verb. E.g. [出社]{しゅっしゃ} "going to the
office" + する "do" → 出社する "go to the office"

> 「ここ最近 出署してない。」  
>  "I haven't been to the police station for a while."

してない is the colloquial contracted form of して **い** ない. Here it means "I
haven't done (recently)". (It can also mean progressive "I am not doing"
depending on context.)

UPDATE:

As commented by @broccoli, 出署する can also be used for visiting all 署, eg
[消防署]{しょうぼうしょ} (fire station), [税務署]{ぜいむしょ} (tax office), and
[労基署]{ろうきしょ}(=[労働基準監督署]{ろうどうきじゅんかんとくしょ}) (labor inspection office).
