That may even more often be the case in rural areas. I'll reformulate that part. The use of opening_hours=* seemed obvious to me, but I'll point it out. > > You don't discuss what to do when the domestic police are (at least > notionally) part of the > military.

This is something that has to be sorted out locally. E.g. in France, I've seen that they map the Gendarmerie as military, but the public-facing offices as amenity=police. I think that it's essential to detemine the principal function of an entity in each place. Does it appear principally as police or as military? While the Gendarmerie is under the auspices of the Ministry of Defense, it fulfils the role of a civil police in rural areas. Btw, fire fighters in Paris and Marseille are military units, too, but no mention to this is made in OSM. Here in Germany, there's a military police (Feldjäger), but they're comptent only in relation to crimes within the military or affecting military property. They're stationed on military ground. I'd tag them as military, not as police.
