And I find the comment about a Camry being more efficient too black and white. Most agencies choose the CV because of its power and the fact that it's real wheel drive which is in line with the pursuit training officers receive and components made for the CV are more readily available due to it's longer service life. Most agencies actually view the Impala as a downgrade due to it being FWD, hence why you see many more chargers in highway patrol and more speed/pursuit oriented agencies. It's part of the reason why GM is bringing back the caprice aka Pont G8 as a police vehicle. High power, zeta platform (camaro platform) and RWD, gogo LS2. Camry might be more efficent for the small municipality that doesn't deal with a pursuit angle, but that's why you see CHP and FHP going to the charger from the CV since it's being phased out. The CV's replacement will be a new FWD Taurus which I don't think have agencies overjoyed, hence, welcome back Caprice and Charger.

Foreign car.... for some reason a volvo doesn't quite have that same image that gets projected as the others...lol

Tho that image causes me to want to hurl...lol And they were not seized vehicles unfortunately...

better watch out the thread is getting quite off topic here lol

It looks so... not threatening, unlike the charger. The chargers got a face on the front


Anyway,


I actually like that F150, that would be cool in game.

[Newfoundking]

I think the one with the chrome grille (I think the 250, could be 150 though) that one should be used if using a pickup because the other one looks older and blander, where that one looks newer (and is) and not so bland.

I'd like an LAPD K-9 Unit, preferably an SUV but the K-9 Feature itself is good enough for me.

A Camry Police car? Y crown vics and Chargers are meant to grab attention. I know some people in the LAPD, so here's why they choose these kinds of cars, and not lame Camry's. 1. Lack of power. A Toyota does not have the power to keep up with most street vehicles today. Maybe back in the 40's, but don't worry. DOT has some Priuses, so you and your environmental friendliness can roll with DOT and their boring job. 2. Making a Police presence known. A Camry just does not have the presence a Charger or Crown Vic has. When a Charger or a Crown Vic pull up, it's very recognizable as a Police presence. If a Camry came rolling up, it would be like "What is this, a joke? my late 90's Ford Taurus can beat these guys in an outrun." When it comes down to it, will a Camry keep up with a Ford Mustang? With even throwing a turbo on a Camry, it's still "rice" in the tuning world, because a stock Civic can outrun it for the most part. So, thats an inside to why no1 likes the Camry. I have a huge hate for it, and I drive an Evo 9, lol. The more horsepower, and the larger and more noticable appearance, crime rates decrease. That just won't happen with a prius. And F150's have the same noticeability.

CAMRY=FAIL
16 Year old girls and people who can't afford the small difference between a Camry and a Civic. It is a weak car, that is not even considered for stealing by most thiefs it's so lame. You have more chance of getting a Honda or a Hyundai stolen. So on that note. lol. LAPD k9 car I think is the best, or the SUV.

[sigmeister]

Both would look good in the mod, but I think I have to go with the LASD's K-9 unit because:

1) There is a plethora of CVs and LAPD units.

2) LASD needs some love too.

[randomperson139]

I think it should be an LASD K9 unit. The Tahoe would look better in my opinion.

[Sgt.Wulf]

Hoppah, no question about it. MAKE THAT VOLVO.
That must be pure awesomeness.

Never said i was fan of a Camry as a police unit, just stated why there are none in service.

I have always liked the CV's, for better or worse, but the Charger is winning me over more and more.

And now.....

[spunkyskier01]

I try not to get into such things, and this is off topic but a camry, at least in v6 form, has more horsepower than a police spec crown vic. I believe a Camry v6 has about 265-270 horsepower vs. a crown vic's 250. Not that I like them, a charger and the new Holden Statesman/Caprice are a much cooler car. (I would love to see a caprice in the game). Anyways, back on topic. I would like to see the SUV in the game, I agree to many crown vics.

[nick the greek]

Camry is the third most stolen vehicle so I dont think speed is that big of a factor when looking at that list.

You suck!

Police Dogs: (from wiki)


For more go Here

Hmmmm... you can actually train almost every dog to do that...

[Xplorer4x4]

Yes but those breeds are better at it then most. Plus certain breeds are worn out quickly like an English Bulldog. There bread with a big head because they were breed to latch onto bulls and be able to hang on. Since all the weights in there head they dont have as much body weight pulling them down.
