[Tagging] amenity=police

[Mike Thompson]

While there may be personnel at a ranger station that have law enforcement
authority, that will not always be the case, and in any event, law
enforcement is probably not the primary function of most ranger stations.
If every facility where law enforcement personnel were stationed were
tagged "amenity=police" then many fire departments (at least in the US)
would have to be tagged that way, as they have personnel with law
enforcement authority (to investigate arson and code violations).
