Police should not be in route to an emergency in a personal vehicle. However, it is unlikely any court would fault them for passing in a no passing zone if they were indeed in route to an emergency, regardless of what they were driving. So,
legally, probably not. Realistically, absolutely.
Another View: More information is needed in order to answer. If the vehicle was operating with authorized emergency equipment it must be assumed that the vbehicle quite possibly may have been an unmarked police vehicle. Otherwise how did the questioner even know it was being operated by a police officer? Police, fire, and emergency medical personnel enroute to an emergency MAY operate their vehicles contrary to the normally prevailing laws, PROVIDING that it can be done so safely.
