Civic's are very popular as community vehicles being partly liveried but without the emergency equipment. These are usually sponsored vehicles supplied by local dealers.
The main problem is one of cost. Most general police cars are now diesels for the fuel economy aspect and so where a diesel Civic is upwards of 16,500 an equivalent Astra is a good few grand less. Plus they do a much better deal for the cops too, so you're looking at the cars costing much less than a Civic. Until Honda offers a low spec car suitable for the cops, and at a cheap cost, it won't happen for a while I shouldn't think.
