What City/Town has the best looking Police Cars

I was looking through some of the other threads and noticed some of the pictures included Police Cars. Some looked pretty bad-ass and some just looked dated and didn't stand out at all.

I think it would be cool to see some pictures of the cars from where you live. Whether they are cool or nasty looking.

I'll start with one of my favorites from a town near me. Truro N.S.

Id say the RCMP have the best liveries in Canada, none of them compare with police cars and other emergency vehicles across the pond though. We tend to stick closely with what they have south of the border which generally means tacky looking vehicles.

Not fond of the 'rainbow' livery, but I loved the old Blue and whites:

Is this coming back? I found some pics of newer cars with the Bl&W...

Wow! That looks great. Not bad for a restored model. I don't suppose this is in service anywhere is it?

Looking at the flickr page, this shot was taken in Regina, so I would imagine the car is on display at RCMP Heritage Centre...

In St. John's, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary uses Dodge Chargers. (I think that's the name of the car).

EDIT: And the best pic I could find:


Police Car up Cathedral Street by Zach Bonnell, on Flickr

And one more...

A Roewe 550? How lame

Chinese Police cars don't need to look scary. The Chinese Police are already scary enough.

I drive a Chrysler 300. That Ford Police Interceptor has been engineered for the role, and is far superior:

Nah, the regular police don't scare anybody - because for the most part they don't DO anything.

It's the paramilitary People's Armed Police that are the really scary ones.
