It looks like a FLHTP (Electra Glide) instead of a FLHP (Road King). From the picture I can't see if the police controls/switches have been changed. The spot lights, rear crash bar, & saddlebag rails have also been removed. The solo seat has been replaced with a 2 up seat. Passenger floor boards have been added. The wiring is different on the police model which is a concern if you plan on adding a radio. A tour-pac also has to be mounted on spacers of some sort to allow the police saddlebag lids to open. That's all I can think of that hasn't been mentioned already.
Im not sayin that the bike is not a FLHP but below is what mine looks like. It does look like in your picture that a street glide fairing or at least inner fiaring was instaled at some point due to the way the mirrors are mounted into the fairing the FLHTP did not have that in any year. Gonna depend on the extent of the electrical conversion that was done. Was the upper harness purchased to convert or custom made and if made what was the quality of the work. What year is it looks pre 08 by the looks of the wagon wheels.

Reason: .
I have a '13 FLHP, and I was able to add cruise control, and run it to the siren switches. Cost, $25 for dealer to enable it in the ecu, and 3 pieces of wire and 3 $1.50 pins from the dealer.
only differences I know of is pink (heavy) clutch spring and the bags (ok add in radio rack and lack of passenger pegs). All the bikes have the high output alternator now. Supposedly police motors are blueprinted, I'd consider that urban legend. Mine has a tach. I bought mine new, and the suspension was rock hard. I put progressives on the back immediately and a mustang saddle as the stocker was too high.
How did they add the cruise? And how does the siren switch control it? The Rocker switch? So that turns it on or off, what about set, resume, +, and -?
The interconnect harness is completely different between the police bike and the civilian bike. Radios, CB, Cruise, etc will not be plug and play.

I would love some more info as well. I have a 2011 flhtp and cruise would be handy.
Police bikes got the 103 starting in 07. The first ones didn't have the ACRs, but there was a recall program later in the year, and most of the bikes were retrofitted with them. The wiring is the biggest pita. Almost nothing will be plug and play. The fairing harness won't have the wiring for the factory stereo, and no hand controls. If you want a factory radio, the best thing to do is rewire the bike with a civilian main and fairing harness, but the costs add up. Figure out what it is you want in the end, and it may make more sense to just go with a civilian bike to begin with.
On the other hand, if you like to do your own upgrades, an ex-cop bike can be a low-bucks starting point. My bike is a 2007 ex-cop road king, and it went through several changes until I got it in it's current state.
I had to refresh my memory... I paid the dealer $20 to enable CC in the ECU.
I used 2 wires that I got from work, very thin PC board wires.
I used 2 pins I got from the harley dealer (get extras). pins (PN: 72605-08).
I connected ecu pin 22 to the yelp (momentary siren), and ecu pin 35 to the siren on/off.
You need to attach the pins to the wires, and then thread them up through the connector that attaches to the ECU. This is not for the faint of heart.
Other than that you connect those two wires to two wires from your siren harness which is close and you are done. I looked at a lot of wiring diagrams and cross checked a lot of stuff before I began. The articles above mention which color wires, and which connector pins. The ECU connector had tiny rubber plugs in the 2 holes I needed to use for the CC. I had to remove those. Since you draw the wire and pin up through the connector, it is critical that after crimping the pin on, you do not ovalize the crimp or make it bigger than the hole in the ECU connector, or you will never draw it through.
to operate the CC:
I flip my siren button up and the cruise light comes on amber. I push the whoop/yelp momentary siren button (inner horn) once and it sets the speed, and the light turns green. if I want to cancel the cruise, I can turn off the main siren switch, I can roll the throttle off (like I'm engaging EIMTS) or hit the brakes, clutch, etc. If I want to increase my speed, I simply roll the throttle to the speed I want and push the yelp button. If I want to decrease my speed I simply press the yelp button and hold it, speed will decrease when I get to where I want, I release and it holds.
it is easy, but it is never fun to start carving on your wiring harness or f*cking with your ecu on an expensive bike. If you want to save money and do it yourself there is no other option. Literally you can do this for less than $30...
I bought a 2012 last year with 3500 miles on it I was te 3rd owner. 1 local PD and a police officer now me. I love it what a differents from my 76 FLH (which I still have).
I was told by the dealer where I bought it that it can not be sold with the original tires they were gel filled and don't go flat. Mine has some extra switches and things but don't effect how it runs. I added a tour pack. 2nd owner put rear foot running boards on it. I looked at several from 3000 miles to 12000 miles. IMO for the price you can't go wrong.
