The Police and Fire Headquarters gifts seem to boost land values above and beyond the inherent land value boost in reducing crime. Neighboring residential and commercial buildings will often achieve top status or become very close. This gives you a strong incentive to place them in residential or commercial zones, despite their most obvious usefulness in keeping down crime in industrial zones.

Also note that, though the Police and Fire Headquarters are more powerful than the Police and Fire Departments, they're 1/5th the price!

Not listed here is the "View" gift, which is not a building to be constructed, but a special model available from a menu. It has no use; it's just an alternate view of your city. You will get the View gift upon becoming a Capital (50,000 people).
