Password policies Production v Sandbox

I've been searching for an answer to this but can't find one:  Are the password policies in sanboxes associated with profiles, but the password policies in production organizations associated with the organizational policy?

When I'm in a full sandbox and I change the password policies for the sandbox, the profiles retain a password policy section that contains the old policy.  In our production instance there is no such section associated with profiles.

If there perhaps a setting that allows profiles to retain password policies?

Your sandbox could be in winter 15 preview whereas the production org might be in the previous version hence the diference. You can review this in the below Winter 15 release notes link
