I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in America our police speak in a sort of code language. Instead of saying "he got out of the car and walked away," the police will say, "the subject exited the vehicle and proceeded on foot." It's not that their language is any clearer--in fact it's less clear. When talking to each other, the cops like to use language like this because it seems to elevate them and make them sound more professional.
