Ford just introduced (https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2017/04/10/ford-police-responder.html) a supercharged hybrid for police that can handle intense pursuits, even through flooded intersections and over curbs.*
The Police Responder Hybrid is the first of its kind, according to Ford, which is putting $4.5 billion into electric car production over the next five years.*
The car has been certified by police agencies to be "tough e**ugh to handle police pursuits for longer periods at different speeds and over obstacles," according to Ford.*

The green cruisers are designed to help police departments cut costs and make patrols more efficient. The hybrids are projected to more than double the EPA-estimated gas mileage of the automaker's current Police Interceptor line's 3.7-liter V6 engine from 18 mpg to 38 miles per gallon. Read more...
