The Evolution of POLICE

The Evolution of POLICE CARS PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE Over the years, I guess you could say just about every car made has been a police car at one time or another. The first “police vehicle” was actually a wagon run by electricity on the streets of Akron, Ohio in 1899. In the 1920s the New York City Police Department has employed a fleet of “Radio Motor Patrol” vehicles to aid in its fight against crime within the city. In the United States and Canada, police departments have historically used standard-size, low-price line sedans since the days of the Ford Model A. In this 3-part series, we’ll look back at the history of the police car beginning with a 1899 police patrol wagon; what the “big 3” have in store for the 2023 models; and look into the future to see what you might be driving and or flying in 2031. 1899 2023 2031 58 The BLUES POLICE MAGAZINE The BLUES POLICE The MAGAZINE BLUES 59
