"The only requirement to be part of the harley police was to be able to know how to ride. If you did not know how to ride a harley davidson, but could do every other police officer duty it did not matter. There was no future in the harley police force unless you could ride."
The Harley police bike is different from a regular Harley because the Harley police bike has a higher output charging system, lower gearing, and a twin engine instead a single engine.
Harley police are actually not a group of people. They are a particular motorcycle that is made by Harley Davidson. They are also painted to look like police vehicles. Some of the bigger southern cities use these motorcycles.
No numbers are available on the percentage of police departments that use Harley Davidson motorcycles, but Harley Davidson is the leading brand for American police departments. BMW is the second most popular.
"Definitely, Harley Davidson does manufacture motorcycles for all walks of life, including police departments. There are several cities around the world where their policing unit contract Harley Davidson to manufacture their official motorcycles."

Harley-Davidson never took over AMF. AMF bought Harley-Davidson and then Harley-Davidson management bought it back. AMF was never part of Harley, it was the other way around.
