Quite a lot of Police laptops are disconnected from any form of network to avoid tarnishing the evidential chain (e.g. burning DVDs of CCTV for passing to CPS). These don't have individual user accounts for obvious practical reasons so do have the username/password stuck to them.
They are, however, kept in locked cupboards inside secure offices inside secure buildings. And more importantly don't have any data on to protect.
