...in WA. I'm glad that they only got them now. I used to drive through that area quite a bit when I lived there.

Speeders and aggressive drivers in Kitsap County Washington will have a new patrol vehicle to keep their eyes out for: an unmarked 2006 Subaru Legacy GT turbo sedan. Note police lights in windshield, grille & hood scoop!

'Bout time some domestic police force recognized that AWD and a turbo makes for an excellent police vehicle receipe. Subies of all sorts have been used worldwide as police vehicles, but are somewhat of a rarity here. I will be curious to see if they're happy with this as a police vehicle, and if they add more Subies and/or other AWDs to their fleet in the future.

Snippet: "We chose the Subaru Legacy because we were looking for an all-wheel drive vehicle with solid performance and handling capabilities," said Mike Merrill, Sergeant, Traffic Division, Kitsap County Sheriff's Office. "We also needed a vehicle that could perform in all types of weather conditions that we experience here in the Northwest and we ultimately were impressed with the Subaru Legacy's active safety features and its high safety ratings."

 

uh oh! haha
true though, it's about time cops got real cars and not some ford pos.

 

Wow, now that I think about it, an LGT would make a really good police car.

 

thats ****in awesome!

:waits to use the 'stop suby on suby violence' line:

 

We should get them all to join i-club .....and give us special priviledges.

 

please pull over...

 

this was in the news a few months ago. somewhere in Europe,.. they exchanged all their peugot police cars for new 06 wrx's because the peugot cars were slow and got out runned from speeding criminals. haha.. its about time i'd say... although i don't own a wrx but still.. i think subarus overall make excellent cop cars.

agree?

 

hehe,.. like free or drastically reduced priced gasoline!

 

This is great...I wonder what mods they made to it other than lights, siren, computer and radio!

Hopefully they at least changed the tires.
