I was very impressed with APD unusual fleet. These photos were taken by me on a recent trip. More photos can be found on my flickr page (link below)

Actually not too bad. At least they're consistent, helps to have a "rich" population, lol.

I like the colored lenses on the lightbar. Not to sure about the leafs?

There is no doubt that the best among these would be the Ford Interceptor Utility. Elegance and ballsiness in one vehicle.

The Toyotas look cool.

i love the highlander! i always wondered what my truck would look like with a full-size libby on it. also love the lens color selection that they used. As for the escape, I would not be happy if I had that vehicle for any job in that dept other than if I were a non-LEO meter maid; it's just not nearly enough room for an average side LE officer w/ duty belt and standard equipment IMO


I'm guessing it's just the liberty for lighting?


Yeah, I would love to add a lot more (grill lights, side of pushbar, rear side windows, rear window D6, etc.), but honestly, to keep it simple, i would simply just have a 2nd speaker up front and a pair of linz6 on the rear LP bracket (since the libby is likely to get obstructed a bit when someone is up close to the rear of the vehicle) and people just pay less and less attention that I would want nothing less than 200W.


Too bad there's no interior pics; I would love to see how they mounted equipment in the console!
