The perks of having a Mercedes plant in town, tuscaloosa county sheriffs and tuscaloosa PD each have a few Mercedes vehicles. Tuscaloosa PD also has a mid-2000's corolla and late-90's dodge caravan
The most interesting cars are the cars seized by police and used for parades, shows, and community relations with a "seized from a drug dealer" or something like that.
The coolest ones I think are the highway pursuit cars which at times are a little faster then the city patrol cars.
A few RCMP Jaguars, a donated Audi A-6 behind it. These were a while ago.
RCMP Volvo S70 T-5 in Quebec. Manitoba had some as well. I remember doing highway speeds when one blew past me at incredible speeds.
And of course, Aspen Colorado's famous Saab police cars originating when AWD or even FWD was not quite as common.
Traffic enforcement, not real police officers drive those. All they do is drive around at 10mph giving tickets, might as well have something with good fuel economy. The Dept of Sanitation has those too, along with NYC Parts Department, DEP vehicles, etc.
And these
There's also Chevy Volts driving around. Did a double-take the first time I saw it and I've never seen a private one in person.
And of course the usual Crown Vics, Fusions, Explorers, Expeditions, F150's, E150's, Impalas, Suburbans, Chargers, Altimas, etc.
About 15 years ago there was a 5.0 Mustang that looked heavily modified, it had writing on the side that said something like "seized by a drug dealer."
I am thinking it said "seized from a drug dealer" and not "seized by a drug dealer", unless that dealer really wanted people to know he was in the area.
