A night at the race track can be a fun time for a community. Many friends and family gather together, and some actually race their cars. This all happens within the confines of safety teams at the strip, and police security teams around the track. However, the crowds are not the only ones that like …
Police forces around the world are increasingly looking at becoming greener. But, they also do not want to sacrifice requirements they already have to do so. So, in addition to adding solar panels to their buildings, and improving recycling programs, a lot of the world’s precincts are identifying their choice of squad cars as a possible …
Cops have to match their wheels to their environment. In US cities, for a long time, that meant the ultra-durable Crown Vic. In more rural areas, that might mean a pickup truck or an SUV. For Dubai and its concentrated supercar population, that means other supercars. In Italy during the 1960s, police got Ferraris. You’d …
Police cars come in all shapes and sizes. While the quintessential US cop car is the Ford Crown Victoria, police departments have used a variety of vehicles to fulfill their duties.

Mark Harmon is an Emmy-nominated actor who rose to fame in the ’80s on the TV show St. Elsewhere. He now plays Special Agent Leroy Gibbs on NCIS, a popular police drama on CBS. The show is currently in its 17th season. Perhaps it’s only fitting that Harmon drives a former police vehicle in real …
Police vehicles have to be at least as fast and tough as the vehicles being pursued. Places like Italy and Dubai use supercars to catch up to the fast and furious. US cops may not have Lamborghinis, but they have traded up from Crown Vics. While Dodge Chargers and Ford Explorers are commonly sighted, many …
Think twice before trying to outrun the police in this city. It’s fleet of police supercars are ready to catch even the fastest criminals.
Cops need to have the most powerful and reliable vehicles to do their job. And a new model has become the most popular police car.
