Car listed above has a police package. I've replaced the thermostat, water pump, radiator, radiator hoses, coolant temperature sensor, and added coolant. Still running hot. Can anyone please tell me how to solve this issue?

If positive we have had good luck with blue devil head gasket sealer check out this video:
