These nifty new cop cars are manufactured at the South Side Ford Plant on Torrence Avenue within the city limits of Chicago. According to this article from The Ward Room the first shipment arrived this past December 2012, the second batch just arrived this past March. Which jives, because this writer just started noticing them a few months ago. The article goes on to say that the 15 million dollar new fleet of cop cars ordered by the city helped create 230 jobs. A win-win, the creation of these cars in our own city helps law enforcement outmaneuver the bad guys and the local economy.

On the Ford website it states that the Interceptor replaces the Crown Victoria model which ended production last year. This model features all wheel drive, has side-curtain airbags rollover protection and are specially designed with police needs in mind. "Plus, the all-new 3.5-liter EcoBoost™ V6 twin-turbocharged, direct-injection engine will deliver at least 365 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque across a broad rpm range" There are all sorts of new technology and features in this new model including so called "stab plates" in the back of the front seats (self explanatory as to the function), more leg room in the back for those lucky enough to be hauled downtown for further questioning, Blindspot Information System, rear view camera, and electronic stability control.

Those guys have no real causes left, why don't they start taking their meds again. I highly recommend the more modern stuff like Seroquel and Abilify, cuts down on those paranoid thoughts.
There are a-hole cops, but a lot of them are good and on our side.
@Rude-dude.
Yes just like everyone there are good cops and bad cops. To make blanket statements about cops is just stupid. Pretty cliche to have angry activist leftists down on cops.
My boyfriend and me can tell ltos of stories about brutality and how they get paid off by rich people who wnat to take over our neighborhood. We recycle and they don't respect us.
