In the US, police enforcement vehicles have a filmic aesthetic about them. We’re not sure if this is a result of watching too many Hollywood action films or the American’s just know how to get the force looking sleek on the job. Either way, it’s interesting to find while trudging through some early December motor news that Ford are leading the way in US police enforcement. Their Explorer SUV was declared the most popular police enforcement vehicle back in March when Ford released figures stating they’d sold 14,086 Interceptors SUVs in 2013 alone. This marked an incredible 140% increase in sales on the year before.

Things are only getting better for the North American manufacturer as the newly launched 2015 Ecoboost Interceptor proves itself the fastest accelerating police vehicle in Michigan and LA. The model is available in both Sedan and SUV form with a 2.0 ecoboost engine rated at 240 horsepower and 270lb.-ft of torque (thank you Ford.com).

Ford’s police cars have always been built to offer streamlined efficiency and performance while ensuring safety for passengers. High speed chases are risky business and it’s admirable that Ford are leading the way in combining these factors for industry leading performance (something that’s evidently paid off them in both popularity and speed results).

Crime in the UK tends to usher in less high speed road chases but Ford also offer the British force the excellent Mondeo and Focus. Still, Ford of Europe isn’t quite in the same ball game as the US police Ford – luckily we don’t need to be!
