The RCMP and OPP usually keep them for about 120Km so 70ish miles. In Toronto they'd get about 120-160Km (70-100K miles) and they were done from wear and tear and accident damage. I was shocked when I learned how many departmental collisions occur.
About 15 years ago when there was a real budget crunch on they tried repairing cars past their best before date to put off the purchasing of new cars. A disaster. I think it was a good lesson in fleet management and economics. The things were in the shop constantly. I remember the Crown Vic transmissions just wouldn't last past a certain point.
