 After several tests, it's not that this for POLICE. The O are rounder and the bar of E is down. In addition the letters are broader horizontally. 
 An other idea ? 
 I customize cop cars, hence my research.

The differences are probably the result of customizations. Many logos are not just pure typesetting.

Roslyn was originally a phototypesetting face (it debuted in 1972), and digital versions may vary slightly from the original.

But I didn’t pull that 225% figure out of thin air—I actually tested it before I posted my previous answer.

Here is Roslyn Medium stretched by that percentage:

Here it is again, with the E flipped vertically:

And here is the same image as above, colored magenta and overlaid on your original image:

A bit more fine-tuning of the letter spacing and scale (plus beefing up the middle and bottom horizontal strokes of the E), and I’d say that is about a good a match as you are going to get.
