The Irvine Police Department unveiled on Tuesday its newest police vehicle: a Tesla Cybertruck.
Irvine Police Chief Michael Kent said he believes it to be the first police Cybertruck in the United States.
“I’m very proud to say that we’re the first police department in the country to have this in its fleet,” Kent said.
The vehicle is capable of responding to emergencies, but the department does not plan to use the truck for patrols. The Cybertruck will be used for community outreach and engagement, police officials said, and will principally be driven by DARE officers to schools.
