Police Electra Glide

This police-duty touring nameplate traces back to the mid-1980s, when Harley-Davidson began cataloging the police version of its Electra Glide for the 1984 1/2 model year. It was developed from the company’s long-running Electra Glide touring line and positioned as a full-dress law-enforcement motorcycle, combining the comfort and weather protection of the civilian touring bike with police-specific equipment and a stripped-down duty focus. Harley-Davidson’s own service literature shows the FLHTP police Electra Glide appearing in the company’s police-model catalogs by the early 1990s and continuing through later model years, while current police-program materials still list the Electra Glide Police as an active offering. Over time, the bike evolved alongside Harley-Davidson’s touring family, but it remained the brand’s fairing-equipped police motorcycle rather than being replaced by a separate standalone model. Enthusiast interest in this nameplate comes from its long service history, its close connection to the classic Electra Glide touring silhouette, and its role as one of Harley-Davidson’s signature law-enforcement machines.
