Carbon Motors Corporation shows a car they have built, essentially, a concept car specially designed for law enforcement at Massachusetts State Police Headquarters in Framingham.
Some of the features of the prototype car, according to the company, include the following:
300 horsepower, 420 lb-ft of torque clean turbodiesel engine
Vehicle life durability specification of 250,000 miles
Ergonomically designed cockpit, built with duty gear and the job in mind
On board sensors to detect radiation, chemical and biological threats
360° exterior surveillance audio and video capability
180° interior rear compartment audio and video capability
Available automatic license plate recognition system
Optional integrated ballistic protection
@wexfordmich This one shown here is the fully loaded version. You actually pick and choose what options you want (there are a lot of them) to keep prices reasonable. The stock car is pretty basic with no lights or anything.

@Mightylite94 I see what you're saying. It probably wouldn't be so out of place in Maryland, whether you are in favor of it or not from what you said. Have a nice evening or morning whichever one applies to you.

@jgwentworth1500 Your right, but here in MD we have some pretty weird looking cars, we have even seen service of hybrids... pretty sad lol Good to see people still want to follow in law enforcement

@Mightylite94 I live in rural Nebraska our local police are not going to be having anything like this anytime soon as in 20 years. And obviously i would pull over for a vehicle with visible warning lights and or siren. What I meant was that this car is ahead of its time. I want to be in Law enforcement and i hope the crown vics are still around in 2 years when i am eligable to become one. Thank you for your concern. I just hate these futuristic cars they don't last near as long as the old.
