I'd like to see documentation on that...
I have driven MANY Ford and Chevy police vehicles and never saw one that
had any higher red-line than it's civilian counterpart.
Police packages typically are silicone hoses for coolant, higher capacity
cooling system, larger alternator/battery for powering the lights and
radios, extra power taps in the fuse boxes, and possibly a different
gearing.  Federal law for emissions keeps law enforcement agencies to the
same calibrations in the ECM's as civilian vehicles with the exception of
top speed limiters.
