Police Districts/Precincts? Council Districts/Wards/Precincts ?
How do Police Districts/Precincts relate to Boston City Council Districts/Wards/Precincts ?...

Someone didn't do their homework
Boston Police cruisers did not have that lettering on the cruisers during that time. Do your homework if your going to show a BPD cruiser marked vehicle.
You can't see it in this
You can't see it in this photo (there have been others posted online recently) and the lettering isn't the only inaccuracy. The lightbars they put on top of these cars were slightly out of period and never used by Boston PD (used by the Mets though).
But then, it may not be unintentional to not have an exact replica, for more modern settings, I've never seen an exact current Boston Police cruiser used by a film crew.

I can almost hear the pseudo-funk theme music

Chases are always groovy when that car's involved.
