Miami Police Department has stirred up social media with a video showcasing what they claim to be the "world's first" Rolls-Royce cop car. Shared recently on their social media platforms, the clip features the department flaunting this luxurious addition to their fleet.
“MBPD and professional staff exemplify the highest standards of dedication and quality policing in our unparalleled commitment to the residents and visitors we serve. We are thrilled to introduce this stunning addition to the MBPD recruitment team - courtesy of Braman Miami,” the department wrote alongside the video.
The video has garnered significant attention, amassing over 320,000 views and 279 likes since its release, with numbers continuing to rise. The share has sparked a range of reactions from netizens, with some questioning the necessity of a luxury vehicle in a police fleet, while others have taken a humorous approach.
"I don’t know why, but I feel like jaywalking repeatedly in Miami Beach so that I might get a ride in that," joked one user.
"It will be funny when someone steals the Rolls Royce police car!" added another.
"'Excuse me, officer, could you please arrest me? I'm dying to see the inside of this car' - every criminal in Miami Beach," quipped a third.
"Wow, that looks incredible," wrote a fourth.
According to police1.com, the addition of luxury vehicles to police fleets is a growing trend seen in departments worldwide, with Dubai's police force incorporating high-end cars like Rolls-Royce Wraiths and McLarens to enhance public engagement. However, MBPD maintains that the primary purpose of their Rolls-Royce is to attract potential recruits and promote the department.
"The Miami Beach Police Department (MBPD) is a fully accredited law enforcement agency, which is dedicated to pursuing every opportunity and engaging all challenges as part of this organization’s on-going quest for excellence,” states the department.
