Virginia State Police Are Now Driving S650 Mustangs
Read the full story on The Auto Wire If you live in or travel through Virginia, be on the lookout for state troopers behind the wheel of S650 Mustangs. Virginia State Police just announced a whole slate of these new pony cars have officially been added to the fleet and delivered to troopers, so they're out on the prowl as we of the Mustangs are GTs with nary an EcoBoost in the lineup. It might be a tough pill for the four-banger crowd to swallow, but the Coyote V8 not only is more powerful, it's far more reliable and durable. Those sorts of things matter to law enforcement agencies. Ford will allow law enforcement and other government entities to create custom specs of duty cars. In this case, VSP appears to have selected the wheels and Brembo brakes included in the GT Performance Package without also including the rear wing (maybe that interfered with the cruiser's equipment?). With a top speed of 155 mph, these Mustangs are fast, making it harder for determined suspects to ditch troopers in a chase. That might be in part why we see more and more law enforcement adding pony cars to their fleets. It probably also doesn't hurt that Dodge has watered down its performance, forcing police to look elsewhere for fast rides. There are some problems with using Mustangs in law enforcement. For one, they don't have a push bar, so officers can't do a PIT maneuver with them. With only two doors, there's no putting suspects in the backseat. Also, interior space is more cramped than in an SUV, so police have to deal with that challenge. But something tells us VSP troopers won't complain. However, speeders and aggressive/distracted drivers will probably loathe these new Mustang GTs added to the fleet.

North Vancouver man charged with impersonating RCMP officer
North Vancouver police say a man has been charged with impersonating an RCMP officer. The police department said they arrested the man earlier this year after he was reported driving a Ford F-150 with flashing lights like an emergency vehicle. In a Thursday news release, North Vancouver RCMP said the driver had allegedly pulled over a white Tesla and identified himself as an RCMP officer. An earlier news release in March said the driver was not wearing a police uniform, did not have any police equipment and did not provide police identification. Now, Wayne Church of North Vancouver has been charged with personating a peace officer and using equipment likely to cause the public to believe he was a peace officer. 'Question suspicious behaviour,' say police Police believe there could be additional victims who were pulled over by the same man. "We want to ensure the community feels empowered to question suspicious behaviour," Cpl. Mansoor Sahak said in a news release. "If something doesn't feel right during a traffic stop, trust your instincts and take steps to verify the officer's identity. Your caution could help prevent further incidents and assist in ongoing investigations." RCMP recommend verifying police identification if you suspect you have been pulled over by a police impersonator. You can request to see an officer's badge with photo ID displaying their regimental number. If you are still uncertain about the legitimacy of a stop, police recommend calling 911 immediately and expressing your concerns. "The dispatcher can verify if an officer is conducting a traffic stop in your area.… Genuine officers will understand and support your caution," reads the release.
