Just in the nick of time: Police car camera captures a bizarre near miss
Check out this video of a police officer's narrow brush with a rogue 18-wheeler tire let loose on a Texas bridge and clocking by at probably 60+ m.p.h.! The video was captured by Safety Vision's in-car patrol video camera and recorded to our PatrolRecorder mobile DVR.
TRANSLOGIC 55: LAPD Chevy Caprice PPV
Taking a ride in a police squad car is typically an unenviable experience, but not today. Bradley teams up with our friends at the LAPD to check the tech on the all new Chevrolet Caprice PPV (Police Patrol Vehicle). From an infrared night vision camera to an automated license plate scanner, this Caprice cop car puts Robocop's '86 Taurus LX to shame.
Scaring people in a Police Car
Just a few clips of me on a few thruways. Driving fast and watching people get out of my way as fast they can.. this type of stuff happens on a daily basis.
For those who may not like this, I would just like to note that, other than speeding, I was never tailgating, weaving through traffic, or acting like a complete dick. I was simply in the left lane and driving fast. Also, I would like to note that I am not a police officer, nor do I have any intent on impersonating one. I just purchased an ex-trooper car from an auction and enjoy watching peoples reactions to it. Admit it, if you had this car you would go around and scare a few people too

Be On The Lookout: All-New Chevy Caprice Police Car Reports For Duty In 2011
DENVER -- An all-new Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV) will join the ranks of law enforcement departments across North America in 2011. It's a modern, full-size, rear-drive sedan that will offer both V-8 and V-6 engines, as well as a host of specialized equipment and features.
Chevrolet made the announcement at the annual International Association of Chiefs of Police convention, in Denver, Colorado. The Caprice PPV will be available for ordering next year and will hit the streets in early 2011.
"The new Chevrolet Caprice police car is the right tool at the right time for law enforcement," said Jim Campbell, general manager for GM Fleet and Commercial Operations. "We asked for a lot of feedback from our police customers, which helped us develop a vehicle that is superior to the Crown Victoria in key areas."
Vice President, Global Chevrolet Brand Brent Dewar added, "Along with Impala and Tahoe, the Caprice PPV gives agencies a greater range of choices for police and special service vehicles that are all available from Chevrolet."
Unlike other police cars on the market, the Caprice PPV is not based on existing "civilian" passenger-car model sold in North America. It has been developed in key areas specifically for police duty, containing modern equipment and features:
■Powerful 6.0L V-8 with fuel-saving Active Fuel Management technology and E85 capability delivers expected best-in-class 0-60 acceleration (sub six seconds) and top speed; a V-6 engine will also be offered, beginning in the 2012 model year
■Optional front-seat-only side curtain air bags allows a full-width rear-seat barrier for greater officer safety
■Two trunk-mounted batteries, with one of them dedicated to powering various police equipment
■Designed for five-passenger seating, meaning the upper-center section of the dashboard can be used for equipment mounting without the concern of air bag deployment interference
■Compatibility with in-dash touch-screen computer technology
■Special front seats designed for the long-term comfort of officers whose car is their effective office, including space that accommodates the bulk of a typical equipment belt
The front seats are sculpted to "pocket" the equipment belt, which greatly increases the comfort for a great range of police officer sizes. The foam density of the seatback and cushion insert surfaces are designed to conform to the shape of an equipment belt's various items, too, allowing the officer's back to rest properly on the seatback surface.
Caprice on patrol: A brief history
Chevrolet's history with law enforcement is almost as old as the brand itself. Police departments have used Chevy sedans as police cars for decades, ordering them with basic equipment and powerful V-8 engines -- including some special engines that weren't available in regular-production models, such as the 1959 Biscayne that was offered with up to 315 horsepower.
The full-size Chevrolets joined the force in 1976. All Caprice police cars -- including the new, 2011 model -- have carried the 9C1 order code. Here's a quick look back at Chevys on patrol:
1959 -- Chevy Biscayne police model capable of 135 mph with specially tuned, police-only version of the 348-cubic-inch V-8 engine
1965 -- The new "big-block" 396 engine is offered in Biscayne and Bel Air police cars, making them among the most powerful on patrol; a 427 V-8 was added in 1966
1976 -- The 9C1 order code is given for the first time to a full-size Chevy police car package. It carries the Impala name.
1977 -- The full-size Chevy is downsized. The 9C1 police package is retained, as is the Impala name.
1986 -- The Caprice name replaces Impala, as the car is updated for the mid- and late-1980s -- including the option of a powerful, 5.7-liter small-block V-8.
1991 -- A new-generation Caprice is launched, with the 9C1 police car still on the beat.
1994 -- The 260-horsepower (194 Nm) LT1 V-8 engine is offered in the Caprice 9C1, making it one of the fastest full-size police cars ever offered.
1996 -- Caprice police car production ends, as GM's full-size, body-on-frame car architecture is discontinued.
2011 -- The Caprice PPV returns to active duty.
