But police tag makes sense, just do not require or request to always add also amenity=police. I would keep amenity=police to public-facing police places. To values of police tag - there is also municipal police (in Poland called "Straż Miejska" that is usually mostly handling illegally parked vehicles and minor disturbances like drunk people). So also police=municipal? BTW, I would not mix police type (municipal, state, military, etc) with object type (naval_base, administration, barracks, range) in one key.
