I agree with those who commented below that you do NOT need to stop for a red light if turning right as shown in the photo from Google that I've inserted.
I've labeled the stop line where cars should stop for red, but note that the stop line does not extend into the dedicated turn lane.
As for the police giving you incorrect info, I wonder if they were confused about the intersection that you were talking about.
If you ask them again, show them the photo and see what they say.
