LEXUS IS F FITS THE BILL
Police in the United Kingdom have taken delivery of a Lexus IS F performance sedan, purpose fitted for policing duties.
Specially trained officers spent 12 months evaluating a number of high performance vehicles that are set to replace their current fleet of Subarus, which were used to target organised crime.
Following a stringent evaluation process the decision was taken to purchase the IS-F after the vehicle proved to be exceptionally capable of remaining stable in high speed operational policing environments, despite carrying the extra weight provided by the police on-board computers and communications equipment.
Sergeant Mike Peck of the Humberside Police Roads Crime Section in the UK said, "The purchase of the vehicle was far from an easy decision and involved research and advice from the force fleet manager, financial managers and a vehicle dynamics expert.
"The Lexus was tested during a 12 month period along with similar vehicles and proved itself to be ideally suited in providing a dynamically safe high performance chassis along with an electronically stable platform for the computer equipment.
"In the past this equipment has placed huge demands on vehicles, but Lexus IS-F easily met with our requirements.
"The final product provides a most formidable package and is undoubtedly one of the most advanced police vehicles in the world which in turn, enables my officers to deal with the criminals who use the roads for serious and organised crime," said Sergeant Peck.
