Screengrab from Archimedes Elite showing a rear view out of a Cobra of a group of military police Vipers, as it speeds away from the planet. You can tell they are military police due to the 5-by-1 formation, as opposed to the 2-by-3 formation adopted by normal police, although as far as the game's AI is concerned they operate exactly the same way.
Note: the original source of this screenshot is a modified version of the one which can be found on Gold Edition, a fan-created Archimedes Elite website. The modifications include removing some graphics and the current time/tonnage display, as the !EliteExt mod was used when taking the screenshot. It took a lot of time and effort to find a squad of military police, fly directly in front of them in the centre matching speed, control the ship while only using the rear view, and then pose the shot without crashing into one of the Vipers!
