Maybe my post was confusing.

I imagined that all public-facing police stations be tagged as:

police=station
operator=(Bundespolizei/Straż Miejska etc.)
opening_hours=*
...

Police barracks would then be

police=barracks
operator=*
...
And an administrative building could be

police=administration
operator=*
opening_hours=*
...

As amenity=police is currently being used indiscriminately for almost all
police-related facilities, we would have to review all police buildings
manually anyways to differentiate police stations and other units. In the
long run, I would therefore get rid of amenity=police altogether (and thus
decongestionate the "amenity"-tag a bit).

Best,
Jan
