Earlier this week, the New York City Police Department introduced the first 30 of 102 Ford Fusion Hybrids to be used as patrol cars.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the cars use less fuel and emit fewer pollutants, and they contribute to his PlaNYC goal of reducing the city government’s carbon footprint. The cars are equipped with specialized police equipment and switch between a gasoline engine and an electric motor.

This is just another move in The NYPD’s effort to become a more green force. Their fleet already includes hybrid Nissan Altimas, SUVs and electric scooters.
