I tested it all the way back to LT 6.2 but a sentence like “The children have not been entirely saved by the police” should be highlighted according to the website:
https://community.languagetool.org/rule/show/PASSIVE_VOICE_SIMPLE?lang=en&subId=1
But even if I enter that sentence on the website it doesn’t seem to trigger anything. Does this rule no longer exist?

Ah nevermind, seems like it is off by default:
Hi,
I was using LanguageTool about 1 year ago for a work at uni.
I was mainly using it to detect passive voice.
But now I wanted to use LanguageTool again and find that this option does not get checked anymore.
In this forum entry it is said that the option did not exist, but I know for sure I used it.
On this site you can even get the rule as XML.
Is this feature premium now?
Or how can I activate it.
So it requires explicitly enabling the rule via PASSIVE_VOICE as well as picky mode.
