At least in my country, there are several tiers of police driver training/expertise. A large amount of police work involves things like "go to the scene of the burglary from yesterday, take witness statements and fingerprints" and "go to the place the noise complaint came from, tell them to turn it down" and things like that. Tasks that need a police car and timely response, but they don't need to be speeding and running red lights. This work is done by officers in kinda basic police cars. Other officers, with advanced driver training, are called on for tasks that might need high speed pursuit. They get faster cars, like Mitsubishi Evos and Impreza WRXes.
