Finally, there is a company that is making a police patrol car that isn't a standard civilian vehicle modified for police use. Fire vehicles have been custom built for years. Now a company is going to build one just for police use.
Carbon Motors is building a new facility in the Atlanta, GA area and will be starting production on a vehicle designed for police use, and is taking input from the police community.
check out carbonmotors.com for more info.
Looks like something Robo Cop shoulds driven. I like it but I wouldn't try jumping curbs in it. Good theory but I don't see the budget people buying into it. The firefighters have NFPA standards to point at for precedent for builting custom trunks. Cops don't have that resource.

RE: New police patrol vehicle
I heard about this a while ago! I hope my department gets these!
I especially like how all the technology such as the MDT and the siren controls, as well as the lights are all integrated into the car.

RE: New police patrol vehicle
I love the idea of having a vehicle specifically designed for law enforcement. The biggest drawback I see is that when the car reaches the end of its useful life, what do you do with it? I understand that it is designed to be in service at least twice as long as a standard police package cruiser from the mainstream car makers. But what do you do with it when it is no longer cost effective to keep in service? I don't see it being sold at a public auction and unless it can be refurbished, I can't see being able to sell it to another police agency. I haven't seen that addressed by any of the published information on this new car.
