Some police cars are cool, and some aren’t. Dubai’s got the market sewn up really, with their liveried Ferrari and Bugatti patrol cars.

But today’s crims shouldn’t go thinking they’re in for an easy ride. Just look what’s been delivered to police forces across the UK – it’s a fleet of frickin’ cop-spec Ford Ranger Raptors! They’re all equipped with FOX shocks and Baja racer-spec suspension, which means they can chase bad guys at well over 100mph over sand, mud and gravel.

And if that’s not enough to inspire the disaffected youth to abandon a life of crime and join the boys in blue, we can reveal that there’s also a plan to draft in a fleet of Focus STs as well. Truly these are great days to be a traffic cop.
