I'm thinking more about a (faked police-) Ford Taunus 12 M Cabriolet [G13] (made by Deutsch)

This scene is surely made in Northern Germany, north of the river Elbe (as the most of the old Edgar-Wallace-movies).

EDIT: Denmark, not Northern Germany. Anyways, the building's style is very similar, different than just South of Hamburg.

So am I, now Ingo's suggested it. It's a long time since British police used ragtops!

Not a Ford Consul MkII as there is no separate key cylinder under the door handle, there looks to be no kicked-up swage line on the rear wing. I think also the shape of the rear-light area is wrong.

Popularly referred to as ’Weltkugel’. The tail light seems to have the thin chrome bezel of a 1955+ 15M [G4B].

I'm not sure it has the chrome strips below the side windows that would confirm it's a 15M Cabriolet de Luxe [G4B], nevertheless the 12M Cabriolet [G13] only appeared in 1953. German sites refer to it as Cabriolet.

Definitely not a '53 Taunus 12M cabriolet as the door handle is completely different in design.

The picture shows the push button below the grip. The '53 Taunus 12M cabriolet has a thicker handle without any bulge below the grip.

Indeed, it has the restyled door handle that appeared first in the 1955 model year.
Having looked at the rear light area more closely, I’d still say that this car is a 15M, or - possibly - a 1957+ 12M. The lower part of the bezel seems to be slightly protruding, as on the 15M:

I admit that also the last version of the ’Weltkugel’ 12M comes close:

G13 models built before the second facelift had larger rear light case, which would look somewhat thicker and different in shape I think.

Some G4B Cabriolets were built in standard trim:

It is definitely a Taunus 15m Cabriolet (G4BAC), 4-seats, 1955-57. It replaces in 1955 the 12m Cabriolet, which has been built 1953-55.
The door handle and the position of handle for the triangle-window confirm this. There have been a few Cabriolets made for the police. May be this is one of it. The colour might be dark green, the blue lamp and the additional flasher lamps (from Mercedes 180 and 190) show some evidence.
