Sounds like you have all the bases covered Tom with your restoration, but you will not hear Police transmissions on 30s and 40s sets that have this AM "Police" band.

That small segment of the AM band just above the regular band (1600-1750 or so) used to be the original Police band back in the 30s and 40s. Now Police are in the VHF and UHF bands with scrambled narow-band FM transmissions.

That band is now part of the expanded AM band (1610-1710). Depending on your area you may hear next to nothing, or occasionally one of the new expanded AM band stations in this newer X-band, as it's called.
