Summary

A typical day in the life of a patrol car is no Sunday drive. These much-abused "black-and-whites" are often called upon to run three eight-hour shifts per day in the most inclement of weather. They may be pushed to full throttle after idling for an hour or more with all lights flashing. This close-up look at the high-intensity world of police cars in action brings to life the various models currently in service on dry streets, freeways, and gravel roads around the United States. Stunning color photography is accompanied by comparisons of specific models and a look at specialized equipment, training, and patrolling techniques.
