Learn More About The Police Car Drawing

Police are "officers representing the civil authority of government." They typically 'maintain public order and safety, enforce the law, and prevent, detect, and investigate criminal activities.'

In order to do their jobs, many officers use a police car to get around. These special vehicles may also be called police cruisers, police interceptors, patrol cars, prowlers, or squad cars.

Some officers, on the other hand, use motorcycles, scooters, Segways, helicopters, or even horses for transportation.

Did you know? "The first police car was a wagon run by electricity fielded on the streets of Akron, Ohio, in 1899." It could travel at 16 miles per hour (26 kilometers per hour) and go 30 miles (48 kilometers) on a single battery charge. Police cars became more common during the 1930s and 1940s.
