Law enforcement is a difficult job. Officers must engage in high-speed chases and confront dangerous criminals to keep the public safe. As a result, from the weapons they use to the cars they drive, they must be equipped with the best tools and vehicles. Although most police departments choose their cars based on practicality and affordability, some own vehicles that are impressive enough to catch the attention of car buffs. Here are thirty of the most impressive police cars used around the world.
