I really like the sound of the Huntlight FT-01XSE
i have this light. very nice in many respects. very well made, IMO.
i have LEO in the family here in the States (across the pond, as the Brits would say), but am NOT one myself, nor do i really understand all of your requirements in a torch (there i can speak Aussie/Brit too!).
let me point out one operating characterisic of my particular FT-01XSE (which i assume is how they all operate).
the light cycles through each of it's many modes with partial presses of the tailcap switch - very easy to do.
if i'm in let's say the second lowest constant output level and shut the light off, it doesn't remember what mode i was last in, NOR does it have a default turn on mode.
so, the next time i illuminate the Cree with some 'trons by clicking the tailcap switch on it would come in the next sequential level, which in this example would be the lowest level of light output.
this necessitates that, if one wants the light to always come on in the HIGHEST steady (i.e. non-flashing) output mode, one must sequence to the strobe (or SOS - i forget which is the last mode, but it think it's strobe) output mode and only then turn the light off when in strobe mode.
if you always remember to do this, then the light will come on in the highest steady output level the next time you switch the torch on which is very blinding to say the least.
this also means to get to a disorienting strobe mode of output, you must turn the light on (let's say it comes on in high because one was last in strobe when the light was switched off) and sequence from Level 5 (highest) to L4 to L3 to L2 (not too bright) to L1 (dim) then to SOS, and finally to strobe.
to me, very naively, i'd say by the time you get to strobe mode you may have lost a tactical advantage. of course you could always shut the light off in SOS mode and the next time that you turn it on, it would be in strobe mode. great for blinding those you pull over for a routine traffic stop at night!!! (i think you get my pont).
the short of it is, the FT-01XSE is a nice light for me (a techno-geek), but maybe(???) a poor light for a LEO.
so, what might be a nice light for a LEO?
i have no experience with Wolf-Eyes, so the following should *NOT* be misconstrued that my suggestion is better than any Wolf-Eyes solution to you lighting requirements. it is only a suggestion. i'll have to leave a comparison between the below recommendation and a Wolf-Eyes solution to another who is more knowledgeable about BOTH lights.
a really nice light is the Blackhawk Gladius Night-Ops (or is that Night-Ops Gladius - i own one, but have a mental block as to the proper order).
what's neat about this one is the mode selector tailcap. so, i have it REMEMBER the last steady output level i selected (digitally stepped, so maybe 128 or 256 discrete levels) which is usually a low level. just press AND RELEASE the tailcap button and the light is on.
with the tailcap in position 3 "constant on" position (position 4 is a lock-out mode to prevent it from accidentally turning on), it will turn on at that pre-selected light level. nice for a routine traffic stop and reading someone's credentials.
immediately, while on at a reasonably low (or bright - the choice is yours to make) level, depending upon your assessment of the risk involved with nighttime traffic stops, you rotate the tailcap to mode 2 or mode 1 (very easy to do with thumb and index finger while still gripping the light). the light REMAINS in the mode 3 constant on output level at your preselected output level. however, should you quickly press the tailcap again with your thumb, the newly selected mode 2 or mode 1 is instantly activated, momentarily blinding and disorienting those looking towards you.
mode 2 is a very disorienting strobe (specially designed for visual disorientation in humans and not just to flicker quickly) and mode 1 is "full blast". both of these are MOMENTARY modes, so you must hold the tailcap depressed to remain in those modes (i believe that this is also correct for the strobe, but it could be latched on - i have the light put away upstairs and haven't used it for a while, but clearly the mode 1 momentary mode is MOMENTARY - hence its name, momentary mode!!!).
this light was designed specifically for LEO and Operators.
the grip is excellent, allowing for various tactical grips (or so i've read) and it can be weapon mounted too.
Downsides:
IMO (in my opinion), YMMV (your mileage may vary)
it's rated at 80 lumens, so there are brighter lights out there, but it has the most amazingly polished smooth reflector i've ever seen (you'd think it should be in the Hubble Space telescope!!) and THROWS quite well, better than some brighter lights.
but, you generally don't get somethin' for nuttin', so the downside is that the bright SPOT is a bit smaller than some other lights. please don't misunderstand my lack of descriptive clarity here on this point. it's NOT a teensy weensy spot, but it is on the smaller side - at least at shorter distances like 3-5 metres. but no worries, it has a decent spillbeam.
i've used it to view out 60+ metres in my backyard. the bright center spot is much larger at that distance obviously, but it's not really "searchlight" sized at that point, but is plenty large to more than illuminate a human target and, IMO, bright enough to shoot by at that distance (not a LEO, but i'm ex-military, so, while not current, i've used small arms).
it also comes in four colors IF color is some sort of a requirement(???) for your police force: black, medium gray (think US Naval ships here, called "sniper gray"), OD green (or just plain OD - olive drab), and a desert khaki color.
better than my verbiage is this excellent review, found here (complete with pics of both the light and "beamshots".

BTW, this light is also sold for $50 or more USD cheaper (so about $160USD versus $209USD, or so for the Gladius) under another brandname, which i'm forgettin' at the moment (i have "old-timers").
of course, you may need a more powerful incandescent light cannon for other situations, liking searching a large area from a distance or illuminating a wider field of view with mega-brightness.
i'm not sure ONE light suffices for a LEO's many and varied uses.
the Gladius though should really be on your "short-list" and one of two or three lights present in your cruiser or on your person.
