I like the Dodge Charger police cars.

Here's the Mass State Police Charger - I think it's about time they get rid of Crown Vic's.

most of the South Texas departments are going to Hemi Chargers. Corpus Christi has a new 911 Carrera and a Dodge Viper Venom. I believe both were drug seizures.

I like the chargers too! Ever since I seen them in "The Island" with the black rims with silver lip.

Of course Bloomfield Hills gets the nice cop cars. Out in "poor" West Michigan we still get the Ford Crown Vics. LOL

These cars were displayed at the annual Woodward Dream Cruise which was this past week, I am not sure if they really are being used as cop cars though.

Hawaii is like that. Officers can use their own private cars as their police cars and it will be subsidiese by the city. We have pretty much anything as police cars from SUVs to LS1 Camaros to import cars. FWD, RWD doesn't matter. Just the other day I saw a private police car that was a late model Silver Altima with HID headlights and bronze Volk rims

I remember when the police department got their very first Camaro. It was in the late 80s or early 90s. IT was actually a Camaro Z28 that was a drug impounded car. Instead of selling it they turned it into their department police issue squad car.
