Thanks for the data @davidpnewton
When adding UK police stations, I left out the ones listed about because they only had a couple of police stations, so I wasn't sure if they were suitable for the index, but others may disagree.
With the Ministry and Nuclear entries, I left those out because I didn't think they had conventional "public accessible" police stations, but maybe I was incorrect?
I think it's fine to add anything, as long as it's a thing that occurs frequently and should be tagged consistently.
I think "Jersey" and "Guernsey" have two stations each, and the "Isle of Man" four stations, would these be worth adding @bhousel?

I wouldn't - those are really low numbers.. We've been using 50 as the threshold for brands, and 10 as the threshold for networks/operators.
Looking into "Ministry of Defence Police" (37 locations) and "Civil Nuclear Constabulary" (10 locations, all at Nuclear sites I believe), which don't seem to have conventional police stations, I think police=offices might be better for these entries?
Seems a reasonable way of dealing with those two agencies.
I understand about the crown dependency forces being too small to add. Naturally that would equally apply to other smaller agencies as well such as the Royal Gibraltar Police or the Sovereign Base Areas Police. Outside of the UK and UK-controlled areas that would also rule out things like municipal police forces in many US areas as well.
If using police=offices, would this replace amenity=police and require "/operators/police/offices.json" to be created:
{
"displayName": "Civil Nuclear Constabulary",
"locationSet": {"include": ["gb"]},
"tags": {
"operator": "Civil Nuclear Constabulary",
"operator:wikidata": "Q1094480",
"operator:wikipedia": "en:Civil Nuclear Constabulary"
"police": "offices"
},
{
"displayName": "Ministry of Defence Police",
"locationSet": {"include": ["gb"]},
"tags": {
"operator": "Ministry of Defence Police",
"operator:wikidata": "Q1937192",
"operator:wikipedia": "en:Ministry of Defence Police",
"police": "offices"
}
}
... or is police=offices used as an additional tag along with amenity=police?
I think we should avoid adding police=offices
since that tag doesn't have a lot of use and the documentation of it isn't clear.
A more normal tagging scheme would be to nest the new tag under an established toplevel tag like office=*
.
For example:
office=police
office=government
+government=police
Just checking in - has there been any movement on this since December?
I'm still ok with adding anything to NSI that is "a thing that occurs frequently and should be tagged consistently." (as long as OSM can agree on what the tags are).
Entries for various UK police forces not already in the NSI can be added as follows:
{ "displayName": "Civil Nuclear Constabulary", "id": "", "locationSet": {"include": ["gb"]}, "tags": { "amenity": "police", "operator": "Civil Nuclear Constabulary", "operator:wikidata": "Q1094480", "operator:wikipedia": "en:Civil Nuclear Constabulary" }
{ "displayName": "Isle of Man Constabulary", "id": "", "locationSet": {"include": ["im"]}, "tags": { "amenity": "police", "operator": "Isle of Man Constabulary", "operator:wikidata": "Q12262934", "operator:wikipedia": "en:Isle of Man Constabulary" }
{ "displayName": "Ministry of Defence Police", "id": "", "locationSet": {"include": ["gb"]}, "tags": { "amenity": "police", "operator": "Ministry of Defence Police", "operator:wikidata": "Q1937192", "operator:wikipedia": "en:Ministry of Defence Police" }
{ "displayName": "States of Guernsey Police Service", "id": "", "locationSet": {"include": ["gg"]}, "tags": { "amenity": "police", "operator": "States of Guernsey Police Service", "operator:wikidata": "Q7604038", "operator:wikipedia": "en:States of Guernsey Police Service" }
{ "displayName": "States of Jersey Police", "id": "", "locationSet": {"include": ["je"]}, "tags": { "amenity": "police", "operator": "States of Jersey Police", "operator:wikidata": "Q12069992", "operator:wikipedia": "en:States of Jersey Police" }
