I agree on this (with the statement, I mean I do like Police things. My
father is a policeman and I have been interested in Police things since I
was a little child. A police pickup was even my first Lego set.)

Yes, but if you weren't fortunate enough to pickup two-wheeled motorcycles
while they were still made, you're out of luck (because I refuse to put
police on a three wheeled ATV!)

Equipment? It's the same as the marked units, but in all one color and no
light bars or markings. To me, that is the best part of a police car.
You forget about offroad vehicles and commercial enforcement vehicles
(pickups and SUV's). In some cities, the police departments run ambulance
services, some own tow trucks, and you forgot one of the biggest vehicles
Police agencies have, Mobile Command Posts.
Anyway, you bring up a good point about the lack of Police MOC's built. I
only wish I had access to a scanner or digital camera that I could use and
show you some of the Police stuff I have built. Oh well, that's for another
day I guess.

Police have police cars (several types at least on the bill they do), paddy wagons, those vans that they use in raids, police helicopters, police boats, police airplanes, police stations, motorbike cops etc. Not to mention the detectives/CID (...)
