Ford has had a longstanding relationship with law enforcement for over fifty years which has been continued through various makes and models, beginning with an attempt by a Detroit police officer installing a radio Model T Ford in 1921. A more successful fleet vehicle for law enforcement began in 1950, with the introduction of the V8 engine. The relationship continued throughout the decades to include earlier models of Ford’s Crown Victoria, the Ford Mustang, and Ford Explorer. Today, a range of police responders that are part of the F-150 and Expedition model lineups range from service vehicles to prisoner transport vans. Ford aims to supply law enforcement with every possible need to help keep their communities safe.

Ford Interceptor Hybrid

Like many industries, there’s always an attempt to both save on financial costs as well as operate with the environment in mind. With the introduction of the Ford interceptor hybrid, there is nearly 40% increase of fuel efficiency compared to their current 3.7-liter V6 engine. Ford did the math on the fuel savings of this vehicle which equated to roughly $126,000,000 combined with every interceptor vehicle sold. The interceptor reduces engine idling time as well as using hybrid technology to power lights, computers, radios, and other commonly used electronic elements. The interceptor utilizes new technology to include 270 degrees of movement outside the vehicle while in surveillance mode.
