I am working on a 'List of police stations in the West Midlands' article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_police_stations_in_the_West_Midlands
and would love to see others do so for other counties in the UK.
Note the use of a template for each row; and that both current and former stations are included.
FWIW here is a quick Google Custom Search engine configured to match only pages that mention a http://schema.org/PoliceStation (in Microdata/RDFa syntax): https://www.google.com/cse/publicurl?cx=013484121852858951051:7izsuwnbm-w
These things take 10 seconds to make, though they're only as good as the data out there. For a microdata syntax example see http://www.wolverhampton.co.uk/listing/112143-west-midlands-police/
It might be interesting to get structured markup onto the official sites that list police stations, and perhaps from there import into Wikipedia via Wikidata?
cheers,
Dan
