The much-maligned 1984 comedy "Police Academy" was successful enough to spawn 5 theatrical sequels, a straight-to-cable sixth sequel ("Mission to Moscow"), two animated TV series and a re-boot that's been trapped in "development hell" for a decade. One bright spot in the first film is the ridiculous closing riot sequence. It's not as cartoonish as "The Blues Brothers," but it is a nice slice of early '80s visuals -- before neon and synthesizers took over.
To that end, the riot scenes actually have a dramatic-action-style soundtrack by Robert Folk. No official soundtrack album seems to have been released until 2013. A few samples (posted on YouTube) are below from the limited edition La-La Land Records release.
