Many people believe the amenity key is already over used. office=probation or office=probation_service might used. An operator=* tag would be useful as well as a name if there is one. Discussion and documentation is good, but you can tag the offices with something that seems good to you (you are an expert in probation) then change the tags later if  you discover something better later. If the office is part of a shared building, such as a court, you could add a tagged node for the office, if it is separate building you could just tag the building.

Go for it!
