Fine; if you need a police station you're going to search for 'police'
or 'police station'.
The fact that the key tag is emergency or amenity or whatever is
irrelevant. 'Police' is the operative word.

Now you're just talking nonsense.
A couple of general point to all about tagging:
There is a difference between the 'key' tag & 'value' tag that many
don't appear to appreciate & should be learnt.
To differentiate between different entities, such as, in this thread,
different uses of hospitals & ambulances can be clarified using sub rags
- it doesn't have to be done in the primary one.
