Police cars aren't very fast. The days of building police cars with special engines are long past. Most US law enforcement agencies use regular Ford Explorer SUVs for patrol now.

Ford Utility Interceptor: 400 hp, 150 mph. Not much slower than a showy Lamborghini Huracán at 160 mph, all while looking like a boring utility car.

Which is exactly the same engine that any consumer can buy in a regular Explorer ST available at their local Ford dealer. My uncle bought one to tow his boat. The police model is nothing special or particularly fast.
