NEW YORK, Dec. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- The police cruiser is the symbol
of law and order on our nation's roads. Yet, besides the lights and
the paint job, they look like any other car on the road. However,
looks can be deceiving. (See video at:
http://media.medialink.com/WebNR.aspx?story=32883) Years ago,
manufacturers basically retrofitted vehicles for police use. They
took a retail vehicle and just bolted on components. Now, vehicles
like the Tahoe and Impala are being designed with the intent from
the beginning of being produced as police vehicles. For example,
the Police Tahoe is lower to the ground for improved handling at
high speeds. It also features a fully integrated electrical system
to make it easier to install police equipment like light bars and
police radios. At the GM Proving Grounds in Mesa, Arizona, police
departments come from all over the country to test the latest
technologies. It can be anything from pursuit-capable interceptors
to 4-wheel drive Special Services vehicles which can act as
on-scene command centers. The end result is a car that delivers
more power, an enhanced ride, and more safety features. Registered
