All other police facilites, that may currently have been tagged erroneously as amenity=police would be tagged only as police=*, while public-facing police stations shall be double-tagged as amenity=police and police=station. It can then be decided in the future whether amenity=police will prevail or whether public-facing police stations will be exclusively tagged as police=station, in order to be consistent with other police facilites.
