Sometimes I stumble across fun stuff. Okay, I do every day, still . . . .

(Silver and blue - in case the photos are not in the right order)
In the 1960s and ’70s it was not unusual to see a Porsche police or gendarmerie vehicle with a flashing blue light on its roof. In 2017, Austrian police received a loan of a 911 (type 991) from Porsche. Complete with Polizei livery, blue flashing lights and radio, the car was put to use patrolling Austria’s motorways.
(White with black) Famous for its exotic car scene, Dubai needed a police car that had the high performance to match. Step forward the Porsche Taycan, the all-electric saloon that blends supercar performance with the practicality a police car needs. The Taycan is not Dubai’s first police car: the force has previously employed a 918 Spyder on public service duties.
(Green and white) Porsche police cars like this 911 (type 993), in the familiar green and white Polizei livery, were a common sight on Germany’s Autobahn for decades
The 993, the last of the air-cooled Porsche 911 sportscars, saw duty as a police car, most notably in Germany, where several were used by the Polizei during the 1990s. With high-speed performance and legendary reliability, it was well-suited for rapid-response patrols on the Autobahn. The one millionth Porsche ever produced was a 993. It rolled off the production line in 1999, and this particular example was put into service as a Porsche police car.
