It’s not just the Dubai Police who have some cool cars in their possession

While other police forces around the world have some catching up to do, don’t be fooled – some of them have made a solid start in the cool cars department.

Japanese cops have been making use of supercars in order to keep up with underground races in the capital.

Over in Las Vegas, Cybertrucks are on the job patrolling the streets of Sin City.

And how could we forget the Sigma Group in Greece? These guys were chasing down street racers back in 1990s with the fastest cars taxpayer money could buy.
