Aren't police/security holsters designed in a specific way so that you have to grip it in a particular manner to unholster the weapon or it remains latched in? So this wouldn't work...

Correct, though there are levels of retention based on how much hand 'work' needs to be put in from the user to unholster their firearm, putting it simply. Most are friction fit with a thumb latch/break, but between what departments issue to manufacturer/retailer standards and all that, nothing is foolproof and no situation is sacred.

This one looks like a (simplified) Safariland, with Level 3 retention. You see these on most Staties, where I'm from. Though most Local PD are running the Level 1s, with a simple thumb tab.
