qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other usage of this image, on PoliceWiki or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as PoliceWiki. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.
