Us: Stop sending money to the police during a pandemic Them: Look at our brand new ghost cop car in our community policing unit
Check out the newest edition to our fleet. This "ghost" car will be used by our #CommunityPolicing & traffic unit. W/ its low profile graphics you'll never see it coming, especially at night. Make sure you're not speeding, wear your seatbelt, and stay sober behind the wheel.
