Good start Jan. A first few thoughts. police=naval_base sounds very dramatic & possibly a bit over the top? Having said that, none of the other common options seem quite right either eg mooring / dock / boatyard / marina? Maybe police=marine_operations / maritime? police=prison. Are you aware of the existing amenity=prison? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dprison Such areas shall be tagged as landuse > <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landuse>=police > <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:landuse%3Dpolice&action=edit&redlink=1> > . > Nice idea!

Everything else, possibly just tagged as building=yes + name=Police holding yard, so that the only "Police" icons you see are the Police stations that you need to visit? police:name > <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:police:name&action=edit&redlink=1> > =* shall be used to tag the denomination of police running the specific > facility > As Warin mentioned above, just use the existing name= & operator= tags eg name=Palm Beach Police Station operator=Queensland Police Service name=Gold Coast Water Police operator=Queensland Police Service name=Gold Coast Aviation Operations Centre operator=Australian Federal Police would certainly seem to work in most of our contexts - would this format work worldwide, especially in European countries that seem to have myriad Police Forces? Btw: It's my first shot, so please be gentle with me. > Nerve-wracking, isn't it? :-) Thanks Graeme
