I doubt it is a police car. All the '55/56 police cars I've ever seen were Mainlines, which had no body side trim and they had the usual tan colored bare-bones interior Ford used in fleet cars back then.
A '56 police car probably would have had the 292 Thunderbird Special V8 which had 4-bbl intake and dual exhausts.
Just because an old car has an accessory spot light on the front fender doesn't mean it is a police car.
