Commodore back to the USA as a cop car

By Derek Fung on 06 October 2009

Holden's Commodore — actually the long-wheelbase Statesman model, if we're being pedantic — is headed back to the United States as a cop car.

Calling all officers

Over the weekend, the Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV) was unveiled at the International Association of Chiefs of Police convention in Denver, Colorado. Basically, it's a left-hand drive, long-wheelbase Holden Statesman modified for police work.

PPV specific elements include 18-inch steel wheels, heavy duty brakes and suspension, police calibrated stability control, a high output alternator and an instrument cluster with adjustable speed tracking. That's in addition to the high-intensity flashing LED lights, spotlights, bullbars, mirrors and livery packages.
