Crown Vic Tops out at 125 with the light bar correct?
Yeah, 20yrs ago. State Trooper where I live drive 6.4 Chargers with the low profile bars.

Crown Vic Tops out at 120 with the light bar correct?
Newer Taurus 131 and 154 in the Caprice?
Incorrect. For the CV, it depends on what year model it is. I have had CV's before that have gone way faster than 120.
Same with the Taurus. Ford offers 3 Police Interceptor models, so the top end will depend on which model pulls out after you. There are NO external differences to tell either.
Chargers, easily in excess of 150MPH top end. Know this firsthand.
Impalas 2011 or older, top end in excess of 140. Know this firsthand, too.
Impalas 2012 and newer, easily see excess of 150. This I know from my 2013 Impala.
Caprice, well, makes everything else look slow.
Also factoid to consider, all manufacturers will put a lower limiter on the vehicles if requested in the purchase contract. Cruisers working in a close city environment will probably never need to see speeds in excess of 100MPH. I know Ford at one point offered the CV with different rear gear ratios for this purpose.
Good info thanks.
Question is still out there... whats the procedure?
(generally speaking.. I know states, even departments differ..)
Well I hope no cop gives hi speed chase and hurts an innocent person during this selfish pursuit. The authorities should no when to draw the line, if they don't they don't belong in that profession.
I chase EVERYTHING! No exceptions. Hope that helps too.

Your PD has no issues with you doing 140-150+?
