Curious about the latest crop of cop cars (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/cop+car)? The Los Angeles (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/los+angeles) Sheriff's Department - which undoubtedly has good reason to be interested in such machines - has released a bit of data to help clue you in on the newest cruisers. California's Boys in Blue put 15 vehicles through rigorous testing, and they ended up with a rather large stack of results. How large are we talking?
174 pages.
We thought cops hated paperwork, but it appears the movie industry has again lied to us. Those 174 pages are filled with stats on all 15 test vehicles, officer insight into vehicle performance and results from the various types of tests applied.
We'll be honest... we've only skimmed. We're not quite ready to take a deep dive into this particular PDF, however, it's available for you to peruse at the LA County Sheriff's Department website (http://www.lasdhq.org/sites/car-test/2011.pdf), should you have some time to kill.LA Sheriff's Department tests new police cruisers, compiles findings in 174-page report (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/16/la-sheriffs-department-tests-new-police-cruisers-compiles-find/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Mon, 16 May 2011 16:31:00 EST.
