Do you have a metal barrier behind the front seats? 
Do you have an extended idle switch or a 120 mph speedometer?
Also, check for holes in the roof where a light bar or antennas may have been mounted.

That's a pretty good indication.
You can also send the VIN to [email protected] and request a build sheet.

A simple SEARCH on 
will provide all the details on your Police Package Cherokee. All the usual questions have been asked and answered and using the advanced search will bring the info to the top. Your HP and gears are the same as any other Cherokee.

No comment on whether or not your jeep fits the bill...
I will agree with you that the search engine here sucks. I often use google because this one is so limited.

NB: While the "Police" XJs were available, none of them were actual "Interceptors."
An "Interceptor" is usually a stripped-down body and a high-powered engine, and they're usually good for 180-200mph if necessary (160 is no problem.) XJs just aren't built to go that fast.
The "Extended Idle" switch simply bumps the idle up to 1200rpm or so (you may have figured this out already) to allow full output from the alternator, the alternator should be upsized (you may have the 136A ND version, 117A at the least,) and the "cage mod" (metal divider) wasn't necessarily mandatory, so its presence/absence isn't really an indicator. The 120mph speedo and Extended Idle switch are probably more reliable as indicators.
However, running the VIN is probably the most accurate way to find out.
Also note that just about any "Police" issue vehicle will have an automatic transmission, but will not have the floor shifter. It will have the column shift instead, freeing up the top of the transmission tunnel for the radio & light control console.

usually a discoloration to the paint that you can read where it once had the word "police" on it is a great indication.
Not always the case, especially with the '97+
it was also the model offered by ford as a version of the Crown Vic.

never seen it used in the context of anything but the ford though

I typed "police package specs" and found a couple of threads listing the specs, and how to identify one. Maybe you're doing it wrong?

The police model? I can't imagine any XJ being considered an interceptor. Maybe 100 years ago.

proprietary name as far back as the late '50's. Badged "police Interceptor" on many Fords including (but not limited to) Galaxy, Fairlane, and LTD, and powered by numerous engines: FE family- 352CID, 390CID, &428CID; 385 family: 460CID; and most recently, the 4.6l 287CID plant.

Being that your a site supporter shouldn't you be taking the high road?
Now you look just as childish as he is.
And by the way, the site search does suck. You have to limit things and play with wording and settings to get an accurate search. A simple modification to the board improves the search feature 10 fold. I have it on my board for Ranger based vehicles.

XJ Interceptor (LOL) That sounds like an oxymoron like "government assistance" or "military intelligence". About the only thing one could intercept would be a Suzuki Sidekick. They could also probably also overtake hikers. About like Crown Vic Interceptors. A big 230 HP engine. The days of the high powered police cruisers are long gone, due to liability issues.
