Is this a real police car?

I was stopped at a traffic light in Bartlett Tennessee and this car pulled up next to me. Is this a real police car, or maybe an old junk car that someone bought, just to have an actual cop car? If so, wonder why half the letters are faded or missing? It was just very curious to me.

Looks like it used to be a real police car. When the cars are retired, they're sold without the police lights on them. People usually paint over the letters.
