Are you sure it was a .45? Their are some guns that look like the 1911. Additonally, The Glock Store sells a back strap attachment for Glocks to give them the 1911 look. Possibly could have been that.
If it was NYC then the officer might have been ESU. Could have also had a specific need. For example, I have large hands and I have to carry a gun with large grips like a 1911. There are numerous reasons.

1911's are a very common gun for police officers. With that being said, there are several 1911's that shoot 9mm, and .40 Caliber S&W.
