That Ford is a cute little police truck, but here’s what we use in Denton County, Texas.

Pursuit rating can sometimes be as simple as being fitted with actual pursuit rated tires. They are generally good to 130-168MPH speed ratings and sometimes have increased puncture resistance, stiffer sidewalls or long-wearing compounds.
