Police Cars - Great Cars

From the PBS series Great Cars. New York City's finest. LA's new centurions. Even Mayberry's, Sheriff Andy have relied on one common tool, the Police Car. It is the most often used weapon in an officer's crime fighting arsenal. More than the gun. More than the billy club. The Police Car is the one tool that continually makes the difference in the struggle against crime.

While it's taken for granted today, the development of the Police Car has been a constant race to stay ahead of the technology and hardware of the crooks. The next step for the Police car is unclear. Tests are underway to find the right answer for the problems of the 21st century. Will it be a four-wheel drive all terrain vehicle? Will it be a sleek racer? Some departments are even experimenting with a combination of bicycles and vans.

Whatever the solution, the Police Car will continue to play a central role in keeping crime contained and the streets safe for all of us.
