Portland Police Roll Out New Vehicle Design

(Portland, OR) -- You'll start seeing new Portland Police SUVs on the road starting next week. The Ford Interceptors are all-wheel-drive hybrid vehicles. They have improved front bumpers, the LED emergency lights reduce their intensity at night, so they're not blinding to drivers, and the emergency lights are connected to the atomic clock, allowing them to flash at the same rate when there are several vehicles at a scene, to avoid chaotic strobing. The new vehicles are black, instead of dark blue, because Ford no longer makes the dark blue color. They still have the slogan "Sworn to protect. Dedicated to serve" along with a red rose.
