what about other police facilities that are also tagged with amenity=police
now, should they key the basic tag as well?
E.g. (I guess these aren't police stations, but I do not know them)

We have already acquired experience with similar cases, e.g.
tourism=information was first only used for information offices.
Today they are only 3,5% of all objects with an "information" tag (and 95%
of all information=* tags are combined with tourism=* , like
tourism=information).
As a result tourism=information has become meaningless, you will look at
the information tag to see what it is about.

Cheers,
Martin
