| ![]() In 2007, Hyundai gifted 100 Accent police patrol cars to Tamil Nadu Police, of which 75 cars were given to Law & Order, 21 to Traffic Police and the remaining 4 to add elegance to the Chief Minister's convoy, according to Wikipedia. Wikipedia has also published the photograph of a police patrol car: Last edited by J.Ravi : 7th May 2010 at 11:22. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() How about dropping a TJet engine into this so that can be a real prowl car. |

| ![]() I like the emergency light at the top. Appears really cute ![]() Would definitely want to see them in action. I wonder how the siren would sound. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Actually what I have heard about this is that this Nano is being used as a test car by Maharashtra cops and Goa cops and also maybe implemented in other states as well. This car was first spotted in Mumbai before it was brought down to Goa. According to me this is a good move for the city cops cause it is a small car, easy to move around and park and also is fast enough for the city. |

| ![]() I think it should be helpful for the traffic police because of its small size and to quickly move around within the city. Regarding chasing and catching someone. Frankly i have seen that happening only in the movies. ![]() |

| ![]() True, I agree with amitwlele. This is good move for City Surveillance. In actual the car looks good in this Avatar. Quote:

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Indian cops don't need fast cars. They find a discreet spot under a tree and suddenly jump in front of unsuspecting road users (Tadaaaaa!). Tata Nano suits them fine. |

Chasing and catching is a thing of past, in fact, down here in Kerala, I guess police have been banned from chasing any vehicle, as it almost always leads to accidents. Very unlike its stock looks, this version looks cool!. ![]() |

| ![]() Well the police doesnt require all cars for chasing but for other purposes too. So the Nano can actually be used for police's city work. Infact in US, police use a small car like this for checking parking violations & issuing tickets. ![]() |

| ![]() Not too sure, always thought so but never confirmed it, but in narrow lanes of Jersey its pretty fast ![]() The point was that a small slow car could also be of use for police & not just the high speed & big ones ![]() |
