Agreed. But you could map the area as landuse=police?

The police scheme should be limited to "typical" police functions, i.e. law 
enforcement. As always though, there will be cases where it's difficult to tell 
the police from the military or from other civilian offices or functions. These 
cases will inevitably have to be decided individually.
