Locations of gendarmerie brigades and police stations in OpenStreetMap

Daily extract from the **brigades of gendarmerie and police stations ** in metropolitan France present in the OpenStreetMap (OSM) open and collaborative database [1]. The layer is available in [MAGOSM](https://magosm.magellium.com/) — accessible via public WMS and WFS services — viewable, searchable and downloadable via the carto portal — analysable over the last 30 days via the Change Tracking Portal **Data model** The OSM attributes used to filter the data are: * amenity=police For information we distinguish the different types of objects by the following attribute: * police:FR=gendarmerie * font:FR=police * font:FR=police_municipale A particular effort has been made by the community to inform the following attributes: * name=* * operator =* * Ref:FR:GendarmerieNationale=* * official_name=* * seasonal=* * phone=* * fax=* * email=* * opening_hours=* * Wheelchair=* We find in the layer all the objects concerned whether they are mapped in the form of a node, path or relationship in OSM. For polygons and multi-polygons, the geometry provided corresponds to the centroid, the original geometry is available in EWKT format via the attribute ‘osm_original_geom’ and the original type in a column ‘osm_type’. Additional OSM attributes have been selected to enrich the main tags. All attributes prefixed by “osm” (e.g. osm_user, osm_id...) are common properties similar to meta-data on the OSM object.
