The U.S. Department of Justice is demanding Georgia Sheriff Butch Conway reimburse $70,000 for his purchase of a 707 horsepower Dodge Charger Hellcat, which has been deemed too “extravagant” of a purchase.
Queensland, Australia’s police department is rolling out 50 Kia Stinger patrol cars this week after the sports sedan received “top reports” from officers, News.com.au reports. This is not surprising, since the car seems like a perfect car for this job.
I suppose Florida news outlets can be forgiven for not spilling much ink on this video, being used to insane thunderstorms and all, but, still, holy shit!
Police cars are outfitted with all kinds of crazy shit—push bumpers, onboard computers, and various cameras to name a few things—and all of that stuff is installed aftermarket. Cop shops transform ordinary Chevy Tahoes into terrifying beasts. The Sheriff’s Office in Placer County, California, does all of the…
Two separate Florida police departments have reported serious engine problems with more than 75 vehicles, and now testing has revealed it’s likely due to a contaminated fuel source, according to the My Palm Beach Post.
The West Palm Beach Police Department has had to pull 13 of its Ford police vehicles off the road since last week due to reported engine failure, according to WPTV.
In general terms, to say something is limited implies constraint, either in availability or capability. In the case of today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe LTD Interceptor, that limit is your imagination, and maybe, its price.
Four Dallas police cars and eight Dallas Marshal’s Office cars were damaged early Sunday after a man armed with a sledgehammer gained access to a station lot and came out swinging.
In June of 2016, BMW announced it won a contract to supply the Los Angeles Police Department with 100 electric cars—a multi-million-dollar program the chief said “made sense for taxpayers and for the environment.” Hah. The LAPD has barely used them.
Most cop cars have a big metal-and-rubber push bar mounted to the front bumper. While it’s easy to imagine how the bar could be used, it’s rare to actually see it in action. That’s part of what makes this video so interesting: it’s a good example of why those things can be so handy, especially if you have to, say, …
Earlier this year, Ford unveiled the Police Responder Hybrid Sedan and F-150 Police Responder; pursuit-rated cars that, while not being as fast as some of their fully-gasoline-powered counterparts, still beat the hell of a Crown Vic. Today, Ford revealed a new offering for police: its first plug-in hybrid, which the…
About a year ago, a sheriff’s office in Ohio purchased some GPS darts, which look like something out of a James Bond movie. Attached to the front of a cruiser’s grille, a dart is fired onto the rear of a car the cruiser is pursuing, allowing police to track the car from distance. On Monday, for the first time, a Lucas…
I’ve loved goats ever since I saw that Taylor Swift “I Knew You Were A Goat” video from a few years back. They seem to be some of the most vocal and inquisitive creatures out there. Things like police cruisers ain’t nothing to a goat.
Ford has been extremely rude lately developing a new generation of police pursuit vehicles, and now it’s introduced the F-150 Police Responder. It’s getting really hard to keep track of everything I’m supposed to spot from a mile down the road.
Austin Police Sgt. Zachary LaHood told CBS News he’s “lucky to be alive” after experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning from a leak in his Ford Explorer. Six other Austin police officers have also been treated for carbon monoxide exposure in the last week, so the department has taken 37 of its Ford Explorer Police…
No, this isn’t the car for arresting anybody, although I’d love to see the police try in the speed and driving haven that is the Isle of Man.
I know all of you are upstanding, law-abiding citizens. I know the very idea that you would violate the sacred trust that is known as a ‘speed limit’ is barely possible to comprehend. I get that. Even so, I suspect you might find this chart of police car headlight patterns handy, for, you know, purposes of general…
