Here's the NYPD's little promo video for their tiny Smart Car fleet

The NYPD is slowly moving on from the 3-wheeled golf cart things they have officers driving around in and instead opting for the relatively luxurious comforts of a Smart Car. You may have seen these driving around city parks or issuing parking tickets...expect more to come. There's a whole bunch of them in Brooklyn that have been testing.

These Smart car police cars

Too funny, man. I can't help but chuckle a bit every time I run across one. This particular one is for traffic cops. I guess it's one step above those 3-wheeled carts.  

Here's the NYPD Smart Car

Cute, huh? With that tiny wheelbase and those petite little wheels. Just like a Little Tikes toy for kids except of course this one has a real NYPD officer behind the wheel.

I've seen this vehicle in and around Central Park before which makes complete sense I guess if you want the mobility of a golf cart with the added safety and comfort of a completely closed vehicle. The Smart Car's size allows it to easily weave in and out of the park via the pedestrian paths if needed.
