Police horses only spook, same with many very well trained horses that have been desensitised to many objects and situations, when things get too much for the horse. They essentially have a panic attack, not much different to what humans get. They can also spook if they get severaly injured, but they are most likely going to fight back before they run as their sense of flight or fight is a lot different then a normal trained horse.
A horse about to spook have their ears so flat on head that they are almost melted in, with the white of their eyes visible, and their body tensed and about to run. Police horses have a tense emotion, as in they are listening to only their rider and will most likely get pissed off than scared if you go swinging at their face trying to spook them.
Also I do volunteering with Riding for the Disabled Australia where our horses are very similarly trained to police horses in the manner of being able to work in stressful situations and not spook at the simple things. Getting an ex police horse would be all the christmases coming together for the RDA centre I volunteer at.
Blinders are designed so the horse is forced to keep looking forward, so it basically blocks out anything that may be dangerous to them.
I don't like blinders, the horse cannot see around it which means, REGARDLESS of how well it's trained, it will have a very good chance of spooking. Especially if a car drives by it fast, you can train as much as you want... that fight or flight instinct is who they are, they will run off a cliff to escape a predator so putting blinders on would scare them if anything they didn't know was there, suddenly appeared...
