boy, it sure makes a taxpayer proud to see someone getting to drive something that I'll never experience. If only I work a little harder in the future, maybe someday they'll get an even BETTER car ! |

Clayton Co. used to have a Ford F450 running around. Not sure what they used it for but it was pretty badass. Black on black with the police decals/logos. Houston has one also. You can't pull over another brodozer in a camery. Actually they pull the mobile dui lab around with it I think. |

C5 Z06
C6 
CTS 
XLR 
4th gen Camaro 
All are Bloomfield Hills PD. If I remember right, the XLR was donated by whoever did the lights and was used only for special events. The Corvette's, Camaro, and CTS I have seen on the road personally. Mainly special event use, but some, particularly the Camaro, were used for normal patrol. They have or used to have a group of sports cars in their fleet, mostly Corvettes. I think they also had a Porsche 911, but I could be thinking a different department. Trans Am WS6 
From Purdue University. From what I remember, it was the cops personally owned car originally. Used for special events and to crack down on a street racing problem they had. |

One of the late rear wheel drive Caprice's with the 9C1 package. A friend had one that he personally owned. That car would haul ass, and got 22 MPG.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
http://images.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/ADPSJavelin_05_resized.jpg FTW It was the fastest one in the district, probably in the state. I always said that it was a piece of sheetmetal wrapped around a bomb. I once jumped a Corvette on 29 north of Opelika. It was a mountain road – curvy, hills, little streams with bridges across them – and I ran about five miles on that terrain right up with him. Finally, he pulled over and I had every intention of dragging him out and throwing him in jail, but when I saw him, he was just shaking all over, so I just gave him a reckless endangerment ticket and told him I never wanted to see him around there anymore. Of course, I was young and still had my Superman suit, so I’d do stupid things too. This one time I had to drive down to Montgomery, which was about 60 miles down Interstate 85, and I wanted to see how fast I could make it. Twenty-seven minutes later I was parking in Montgomery. Well, I gassed up for the return trip and figured I’d try to beat that time. About five or six miles out of Montgomery, at about 140 mph, I passed a semi, one of those flat-nosed rigs. Just as I passed it, the air coming off the semi raised the front end of that Javelin straight off the ground. If God wanted to take me then, that would have been a perfect time to do it, but I thank Him every day that he just let the front end of that car right back down. Nobody ever had to tell me not to pull a stunt like that again. And as for that time Tim borrowed his Javelin? I was off that night, and Tim and another trooper borrowed my car. About 8 p.m., the phone rang. It was Tim, and he asked me if I wanted to know how fast my Javelin would go. I told him yeah, and he said the other trooper clocked him with the radar at 158 mph. They weren’t exactly busy that night, were they? http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2007/10/10/158-mph-on-an-alabama-evening/ Good old days policing. Awesome. |

Fairfield, AL is known to take confiscated drug cars and turn them into police cars. I saw their 911 car before.
This is Hoover, AL but it looks about the same. They (Fairfield) also have a ton of stuff like a Lexus on 20's with pitch black tint for undercover work. This is the coolest I've seen in person though.
