I use an Escort X50 with screamer. And its not unknown for members of the constabulary to ask me to lead so they/he can follow behind the electronic protection. Yes, even someone as high up as inspector has used the protection of the Escort when in a car, (although he was only a senior Sergent at the time), and a well know constable on a bike has also sat in behind at times.
The thing with a radar detector is that it is only a backup to your own eyes. If the cop is sharp and using instant on, then the detector will only tell you that you are about to get a ticket. It does help in moderate traffic when you will get a warning as the cop targets other vehicles before you are in range, or if the cop triggers too soon. The best defence is still the Mk1 eyeball.
