I can't imagine it's well suited for that

Ford has announced fleet options for the Bronco, so I’m sure we’ll see some in gov service... though Id be surprised if any model gets a “pursuit rating.”

Cool story bro: early in my career I found myself in a 5th Gen Bronco responding to an emergency call on a twisty urban highway at a speed the vehicle designers (or my supervisors) surely wouldn’t have condoned... the Bronco’s tires and suspension were complaining the whole time and I’m amazed it didnt kill me.

"Work" bronco. That's between you, your accountant and the US Government ?
it fits my .gov agency needs.... we typically buy Expeditions, F150s-F350s to reach mountain top radio sites... All have winches, mud terrains, and off road lights.. The bigger trucks are to tow a snow cat. A Bronco 4dr with a rear locker and hardtop is less than a SSV Expedition

I could easily see CBP picking up some 4DRs as scout/patrol trucks.

Im really hoping to see Base model with some kind of electronics(alternator/inverter) upgrades, F/R lockers, the entry level high clearance suspension (2" or 1.2"), steel bumper with winch options, and the rubber floors. It would be useful in alot of fleets I think with those options being available to them. Can I also have one?

Some departments with rural jurisdictions can. Even ones along the coast, especially because of the ground clearance.

Maybe not an interceptor but I could see some Wildtrack's as a Border Patrol vehicle and maybe Badlands for the Forrest & Park Rangers. They better get in line though.
Border patrol one definitely sounds cool and useful.

Stripper f250 would suit much better than a bronco. The whole roof situation is a negative for a police vehicle.
