Unplugged Performance shared a few additional pictures of the Cybertruck police vehicle:
IPD confirmed that it plans to use the vehicle in its DARE program:
The Irvine Police Department (IPD) is excited to unveil what we believe is the first police Tesla Cybertruck in the nation. The truck will support our Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program and community outreach efforts. While the fully equipped vehicle won’t be used as a patrol car, it can respond to emergencies and assist the community when needed.
The police department makes it pretty clear that its goal is to “start conversations” with the truck.
It aligns the move with officers working on horseback and dogs:
IPD passionately seeks unique and innovative ways to connect with our community and the youth of Irvine. Officers on horseback, working with a support K9, or driving a unique vehicle such as the Cybertruck start positive conversations and promote community interaction.
Good enough reason for a police department to buy a $100,000 vehicle? Let us know in the comment section below.
