while it is often done like this, there are also alternatives which are cleaner in the way it is represented:

1. differentiation of building and user (distinct objects also when the whole building is occupied by one user)

2. polygon for the user rather than a node (if you know it well). This gives a whole lot more of information (size, shape, orientation) and allows to add other things inside.

Btw: other possibilities would be police facilities consisting of no building or more than one building, or a building with a dedicated area around it (‚grounds‘).

This is a general consideration and not specifically referring to police facilities. Not sure we should add this to the wiki for each and every feature, or maybe just link it?
