When searching for places in Kent this usage produces odd results. Similarly I would expect something called Thames Valley to be that rather than the police force.</div>

<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace">Can't we use admin_level to represent the hierarchy? It would remain distinct from the administrative units because it is boundary=police and not boundary=administrative. As police forces are largely aligned to (groups of) counties something like admin_level=5 might be good for the (geographical) force areas, and perhaps admin_level=6/7/8 for top-level divisions.</div>
