We all know everything is bigger and better and cooler in the US. Let's not mention the politics or the relaxed approach to guns.
Today I learned that there seems to be an official competition amongst law enforcement to select the coolest looking "cruiser" each year.
And yes, they are definitely

I once saw an Evora Police Car in Rome, that was pretty cool.
Nobody beats the Italians at this game Shirley?

I like the Turkish way of confiscating cars from criminals and reusing them in their own fleet.

They also have department drag cars and go to some car meets too. A pretty good way to be aware of the car culture and gain some respect too.
Dave!

I like the pic of the Georgia Mustang with an original PI Fox Mustang.
I feel like having pursuit muscle cars is silly these days tbh, there are loads of 4 doors that’ll be as fast.

I was not aware of that! Don't look as good as the Italian offerings though.

I went for California Highway Patrol - simply 'cos they have a jet black German Shepherd on the "hood".

Lotus loaned them two cars for two years apparently.

Yeah, the Carabinieri paint scheme is better.

The 70s dodges and plymouths where they were putting Charger running gear in big saloons were pretty cool.
Most of them have been broken up for people to make 440 engined muscle cars though.

We used to have pretty cool cop cars in the eighties.
