I have posted a link in the SNOW thread, where Calgary and Halifax tried winters on the buses and found the improvement to be negligible. They weigh so much that traction won't be a problem unless the snow is deep enough for ground clearance to be a problem.
As for police cruiser, yeah I don't think there are any excuses.

Working in northern Alberta now, I totally get how winter tires are necessary in snow and not a place to save money. However, ice is another story unless you have studded or the city puts some sand or dirt over it.
Personally, I have experimented with all-weather on my RX-8 last winter. Honestly, I find Michelin CrossClimate+ to be better in rain we usually experience than the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2. The CrossClimate feels more like an all-season rather than snows. If I live in Van/Vic, fuck it, I am just gonna park my car and call a cab, take the bus, whatever that's not driving.
