Most police trade in guns sit in the back room of a gun store for a very long time before they are even looked at by the owner. I would suspect that was the cause of the issue noted rather than neglect by the officer. The rust on that pistol doesn't look like it came from sitting in a holster and more like being stacked in a box likely in a moisture saturated room.

Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.
