Unsure why init file isn't received a net.Send message.

Hi, I've been creating my own NPC shop and I've come to a speed bump. I've spent around an hour trying to figure out why net.Receive isn't working. Here is the code from all three files. It's the PoliceModel1 message that I'm having trouble with. Also I understand that Entity( 1 ) is a blank message and that's the way I want it.

[B]cl_init.lua[/B]

include("shared.lua")
ENT.RenderGroup = RENDERGROUP_BOTH
function ENT:Draw()
	self:DrawModel()
end
function ENT:SetRagdollBones( b )
	self.m_bRagdollSetup = b
end
function ENT:DrawTranslucent()
	self:Draw()
end
local function myMenu()
		--> Frame
	local frame = vgui.Create("DFrame")
	frame:Center()
	frame:SetSize(300, 200)
	frame:SetTitle("Police NPC")
	frame:SetDraggable(false)
	frame:ShowCloseButton(true)
	frame:MakePopup()

	local uniform = vgui.Create("DButton", frame)
	uniform:Center()
	uniform:SetSize(250, 30)
	uniform:SetText("Equip Police Uniform")
	uniform.DoClick = function()
		net.Start( "PoliceModel1" )
		net.SendToServer( Entity( 1 ) )
		print("Message sent")
	end
end
 
usermessage.Hook("ShopNPCUsed",myMenu) --Hook the menu, so we can use it Serverside

[B]init.lua[/B]

AddCSLuaFile( "cl_init.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" )
include('shared.lua')
function ENT:Initialize()
	self:SetModel("models/Humans/Group02/male_07.mdl");
	self:SetHullType(HULL_HUMAN);
	self:SetHullSizeNormal();
	self:SetNPCState(NPC_STATE_SCRIPT);
	self:SetSolid(SOLID_BBOX);
	self:SetUseType(SIMPLE_USE);
	self:SetBloodColor(BLOOD_COLOR_BLUE);
	self.Removed = true;

end
function ENT:AcceptInput(name, activator, caller)
	util.AddNetworkString( "PoliceModel1" )
	umsg.Start("ShopNPCUsed", Caller) -- Prepare the usermessage to that same player to open the menu on his side.
	umsg.End() -- We don't need any content in the usermessage so we're sending it empty now.
end
net.Receive( "PoliceModel1", function( len, ply )
	 ply:SetModel("models/player/nypd/male_02.mdl")
	 print("Message recieved")
end )

[B]shared.lua[/B]

ENT.Base = "base_ai"
ENT.Type = "ai"
ENT.PrintName = "Model Shop"
ENT.Author = "Danny"
ENT.Contact = "Danny"
ENT.Spawnable = true
ENT.AdminSpawnable = true
ENT.AutomaticFrameAdvance = true




function ENT:SetAutomaticFrameAdvance( anim )
	self.AutomaticFrameAdvance = anim
end 

The VGUI shows up fine and the print message "Message sent" shows but the init.lua file isn't receiving it. I'm sure it's just something I've done stupid.
