Bill,
It's the same platform (D3) as the 500, and the rebadged "Taurus" 500 as well.
Here's an article from Popular Mechanics that discusses it.

One look at the sheet metal on the 2010 Taurus and it's difficult to imagine that this sedan is based on the same Volvo S80 platform as the previous Taurus and the Ford Five Hundred before that. The platform might be largely the same, but there are some important changes—and these end up transforming the character of this car. This is particularly impressive considering that this Taurus program was initially slated for the 2011 model year. Ford has pulled the program forward by one full year.

The police car is Taurus-based.
