2011 Chevrolet Caprice

General Motors executives announced they plan to begin production of a new rear-wheel drive Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle today at the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in Denver. The 2011 Caprice PPV will be available in two configurations: a 355-hp V8 that generates an estimated 384 lb-ft of torque and a tamer V6. An undercover version will also be available. Regardless of how it is configured, the sleek Caprice PPV is likely to make an impression on traffic scofflaws. Revealing the concept car, GM executive Jim Campbell touted the car's bold and commanding presence. He asked, "Can you imagine this baby in your rearview mirror?"

BMW offers two police motorcycles: the R1200 RT-P (pictured) and G650. The RT-P, which is favored by the CHP and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, is the police version of a civilian model that offers an 1170 cc boxer twin motor rated at 110 hp. The bike uses two batteries: one to start and an auxiliary to run the lights, onboard computer and other gear. There are analog and digital speedometers; the later allows the officer to pace a vehicle, monitor its speed and store that information in the onboard computer. The bike arrives with mounts for a shotgun, baton, radio and laser gun. Photo via BMW Motor Co.
