The occupation of law enforcement officer can be one of the toughest in the world. They constantly deal with the scum of the earth and put themselves in danger between gun fights and high-speed chases, and what do they get to drive? Crown Victorias? No thanks. Those are reliable and all, and can definitely be fun, but if we're chasing criminals around, spending a majority of our time in a car all day, we'd probably choose something else. We poked around the Internets and found places we would actually consider applying to the police force, purely based on the sweet rides they get to drive. From Lambos to Corvettes, check out our list of The Coolest Police Cars in the World. Trust us, if you want to see the full Dubai police force (including a Bugatti), you'll want to stick around all the way to the end.
Honda NSX
Where: Japan
Honda was kind enough to donate this NSX to this Japanese police force. It was mainly used as highway patrol and at police exhibitions.
Nissan GT-R
Where: Abu Dhabi
Not only does the Abu Dhabi police force have a GT-R, those guys have a Camaro SS, too.
Hummer H2
Where: Texas
Introducing the world's fastest police hummer and the world's most obnoxious officer. This Sheriff challenged Geiger Cars to make him an SUV monster. The result was a 7.0-liter supercharged engine that spits out 700 horses, all while sittin' on chrome.
Lamborghini Murciélago LP640
Where: London
Seriously, do all bad guys drive supercars over in Europe?
Cadillac CTS-V
Where: Bloomfield Hills, Mich.
This is just one of many amazing police vehicles that Bloomfield Hills has stashed away. You'll see what we mean.
Dodge Challenger R/T
Where: Florida
American muscle meets law enforcement.
Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
Where: United Kingdom
Volunteers from five British police crews were lucky enough to drive the one-off Scaglietti patrol car in the 1500-mile Ferrari 60th anniversary tour through the U.K.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X
Where: Victoria, Australia
This is only a promotional vehicle that is used for regular street patrols, charity events, and educational purposes, but we can still dream, right?
Lotus Exige
Where: New South Wales, Australia
We're pretty confused why police forces get awesome cars like these to set examples for and educate young teens. We imagine it'd just get them revved up to go even faster, and possibly make them want to steal somebody's sick Lotus.
Cadillac XLR-V
Where: Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
Based on the Corvette's Y platform, the XLR-V could catch anybody trying to escape. Or it could race the other two insane cop cars on the force.
Dodge Viper
Where: South Carolina
We'd volunteer for 72-hour shifts if we were able to drive this badboy.
Opel Speedster
Where: Netherlands
Top down, sirens on, doughnut in one hand, wheel in the other, catchin' criminals in style.
Lotus Evora
Where: United Kingdom
Equipped with 276 horsepower, this Evora is also only used to teach the kiddies about why speeding is terrible. How, you ask? With a car that goes 0-6 in 5.1 seconds.
Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray
Where: Sweden
Believe it or not, this car is actually for sale right now. It's in Sweden, but the "Deception" Transformer-inspired design might be worth the trip.
Suburu WRX STI
Where: North Yorkshire, United Kingdom
As far as functionality goes, this car's great speed, excellent handling, and vehicle space make the STI the most complete car on this list to actually take down runaways.
Porsche 911 Carrera
Where: Germany
We're picturing a Porsche lining up with another speedster at a stop light, torching him, then flipping on the lights and sending him to the slammer.
Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT
Where: Ontario
The Maserati was spotted amid a ton of Ferraris at a parade intended to raise money for the SickKids Foundation.
Brabus CLS Rocket
Where: Germany
Our eyes were the size of soccer balls when we heard this CLS's V12 twin-turbo engine produces 730 horses and gets up to 225 mph.
Lexus IS-F
Where: Humberside, United Kingdom
Luxury, speed, and stunning looks. Oh, the rough life of a U.K. baconator.
Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R
Where: Japan
We tend to geek over Skylines a little more than the rest of the world, because they pretty much don't exist here in the U.S.
Spyker C8
Where: Netherlands
This car is one of the most rare to see on this list in the first place, so a cop car version is even more special.
Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4
Where: Italy
Sadly, it didnt' take long before this car was involved in a wreck. File that in the "Not Surprising" folder.
Caparo T1 RRV
Where: England
The Caparo isn't really a police car, but rather more of a pursuit vehicle. Either way, it's one of the dopest things we've ever seen.
Renault F1
Where: London
Not even in the same league of vehicles, this Renault F1 car and the Caparo are by far the most ridiculous cars on this list. There's just one problem: Zero functionality as a police car. Yeah, it can catch up to the bad guys, but what happens then?
Dubai Police Fleet
Where: Dubai
Putting each of the cars in Dubai's police force would have taken up half the list, so we decided to consolidate all of them into one slide. The force includes everything from a Camaro SS to a Ferrari FF to a Bugatti Veyron. This really shouldn't be a surprise considering the country just has supercars lying around in the dust over there.
