Agencies that now have these... Indialantic, Titusville, Melbourne Beach, and now the Sheriff's Office (they acquired them when they took over jurisdiction and equipment from the now-defunct Port Canaveral Police)

This one is a precinct head's car. All other cops get Explorers, Taurus' and oddly enough, we now have undercover Camrys.

#2, 268 hp is probably enough for most of what the Camrys would be used for (unless they're also jumping railroad tracks or doing PIT maneuvers); a stock late-model V6 can do 130 mph plus.

#3, Yeh these are used for mainly nighttime patrol downtown, and occasional uptown patrol. All I've seen are that deep metallic blue color, or that deep cherry red color. Not sure if four or six, but single exhaust, and not a SE Sport.

The City Hall where I work is right next door to a Sheriff's Precinct... so I see PPVs quite often now... along with every other kind of police car, since, as I mentioned a while back, our Sheriff's Office will pretty much slap their logos and lights on anything they can get ahold of.

We have SS' now too, but as Sate Patrol/Trooper cars. They look stupid in our livery.

#6, I can find zero photos of a Chevrolet SS dressed up as a police car... and it makes no sense anyway, as it's smaller, and wayyyyy more expensive than a Caprice PPV.

#7, I've seen one. On 494 a couple weeks ago :)

#7, ...still have never seen a single image of a Chevrolet SS in police livery...

still only seen that one. It was at our auto show this year, too.

I remember a Pontiac G8 police car prototype once, but I've never seen an SS police car. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1b/e...1ac7ae80160.jpg

These were an interesting, but ultimately failed, experiment. Knew someone who worked fleet services for the Sheriff's Office, and they HATED the Caprice PPVs. Replacement parts/components were always in short supply, and backorders could last weeks, if not months, to source from Australia.

A couple of departments around here had these, but I've only recently realized that I never see them anymore. Most cop cars I see now are Dodge Chargers and Durangos. Still a few old Crown Vics running around, too.

#13, The same fleet services employee also hated the Chargers. Every Charger squad car was guaranteed to be on a flatbed towtruck at least once a year. ...in fact, personally, I only ever saw Chargers being towed. The Sheriff's Office, which used to have almost every style of police car under the sun, now has a vast majority of Interceptor Utilities (Explorers), with a smattering of F-150s, Tahoes, and old Crown Victorias that some senior officers refuse to give-up.

I don't know what happened to our Caprice or the SS I saw. I think it might've been a siezed unit? Not entirely sure. MPD uses Explorers and Tahoes and we are apparently getting F-150 Lightnings?!?

My local department uses Chargers and Tahoes with an F-150 "police technician" unit. There are several old Crown Vics kept in storage as marked "police volunteer" cars and some plain white decommissioned cars still sitting around. Next town over has several Caprices that spend a lot of time parked as crime deterrents outside banks and stores, and working accident scenes and whatnot. They have Explorers for heavier duty work and one 2008 Mustang GT that comes out for parades and uh, whatever special police work one needs a Mustang GT for in a small town.

#16, The same kind of special police work that requires a decommissioned/surplus MRAP that was initially "free", but requires $100k worth of maintenance/repairs/specialty training every year.
