To specify or modify the bandwidth allocated for a class belonging to a policy map, use the bandwidth command in policy-map class configuration mode. To remove the bandwidth specified for a class, use the no form of this command.

Bandwidth is a Queing mechanism (class based Weighted Fair Queing) where in the bandwidth specified is reserved for the traffic when there is congestion. Policing is like Committed access rate(CAR) which sizes ur bandwidth(doesnt shape).
