Figurine/decoration shopping
So for context Im working on a Chevy c10 truck that will be going to Manic motor sports for his police pursuit tournament, and to lean into the getaway car theme, i wanted to get barrels or some sort of "contraband" to carry in the flatbed of the truck.
This got me wondering, for those who get figurines or other mini decorations where do you often go to in order to get them?

It isn't exactly police themed, but we'll roll with it :)
About the figures, I don't have many myself do I wouldn't be able to help much
If you don't have a local friend with 3D printer available, I would just look at scrap around your house and work with that.
Need barrels? Find some dowel rod or something and cut it, paint it, glue it - just something simple. Maybe the metal barrel on a pencil? Pieces of old copper pipe? Heck, take some thin cardboard and roll it into shape, cut to size. All sorts of ways to DIY that thing considering it's gonna be really small and flying by on the track :) Or just look for retail somewhere...HO scale stuff
I buy figures from a local hobby shop when i want quality metal ones, as they usually have qualtiy scale props with them. Otherwise I buy them from AliExpress or Temu usually. I've also 3D printed a few things or just made them from scraps, as Brian suggested above.

I get my figures from doublegdiecast.com they have a huge selection of figures in various shapes and poses. A few driving ones scattered in between.
I just go to a local dollar store, and find any Hot Wheels there.
