<div>A first few thoughts.</div>

<div>police=naval_base sounds very dramatic & possibly a
bit over the top? </div>

<br>
That suggests to me<br>
police=military .. military=naval/army/air_force/* !!!<br>
<br>
But I think you will be better off with<br>
police=water/air .. some places do have police helicopters with
bases too so here is a tag for them?<br>
<br>
The police=military will probably have their own barracks and
offices too? <br>
<br>
Then you have state police, federal police .. and many others
depending on where you are in the world. And sheriffs! <br>

<br>
There are various 'prisons'. The OSM one is one kind.<br>
Police can have small ones they hold people in e.g. while drunk, or
before sending on to court, courts can have their own too. <br>

<div>Nice idea! Maybe rendered as blue stripes, where

strange! :-))</div>

<div>I would suggest possibly only rendering the actual
"Police stations", using the existing policeman icon?
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?</div>

<div>As Warin mentioned above, just use the existing name=
& operator= tags eg</div>
<div>name=Palm Beach Police Station</div>
<div>operator=Queensland Police Service</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>name=Gold Coast Water Police</div>
<div>operator=Queensland Police Service </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>name=Gold Coast Aviation Operations Centre</div>
<div>operator=Australian Federal Police</div>
<div>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? <br>
