This allows for more differentiation than the related Proposal:Key:police:branch, which focuses on just the organizational level of the police force. Some values could be railway, airport, border, traffic, canine, aerial, … More than one specialization may apply. They may have separate offices and logo’s and may be organizationally separates. This list should be readily extendible.
