Must have been one poor police force. That would for sure be the new guys car, no one with any seniority would choose to sit in those seats

I’d hate to be the guy that has to drive that thing around.

Unfortunately, a lot of departments that don’t do much driving sometimes end up with either non police package variants of vehicles, (cough CBP) or just shitty civilian cars.

Like the Postal Police, who get these.

Ugh those were awful. Can’t imagine a cop sitting in one of those all day.

Back injuries galore.

Toronto Police had them too, but for document services and parking enforcement only.

I guess it’s still better than this:

IMHO, the Cavalier actually had pretty comfy seats for a barebones compact. One of the only real redeeming features.

I wish I could find it but there was a Saturn brochure from around 1994 that showed an SL2 police car. It was.......interesting.

Having that as a patrol car would keep cops off the streets and working hard at the police station trying to avoid having to take the shit box on patrol.

Idk my wife’s 01 Caviler seats killed me. On any trip longer than 30 minutes. Maybe they were just warn in weird.

I thought the police were always desperate to recruit new officers. That car is not going to help.

That is sadder than the lovechild of Titanic and that clip of Hillary Clinton dabbing on the Ellen show.

That reminds me of Amrh recruits coming to my school in an H3 with a sound system. I was like “this is lame next time bring a Humvee.”
