NYPD goes Dukes of Hazzard
Quote:
NYPD Puts Up Its Dukes
Come this summer, you may see a new NYPD car - the Dodge Charger, best known as the Dukes of Hazzard car. The NYPD is adding fifteen 4-door Chargers for its Highway Unit - they must really love the Hemi - and ten will be tested this summer. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said, "We're always looking for good equipment, including a little muscle in the car department," which almost sounds dirty. Of course, the NYPD's cars will have "fortified front seats, no rear-door handles and heftier brakes" according to the Daily News. Gothamist just hopes "Dixie" won't play on the siren.

I recall when California Highway Patrol got the Camaros and the Mustang 5.0s, they claim that it was to shorten high speed chases, as for high speed chases here on the highways of NYC... that's a funny one!
Do you guys have any specialty PD vehicles where you live?
I recall BMW 318i in Singapore.
