It performs as well as the odd Camaro and Mustang used by some departments. Who cares if there's no room in the back for prisoners. There's no room in the pony cars, either! And an S has to out-perform a Crown Vic!</p> Police departments should be using S's as a pursuit vehicle! It performs as well as the odd Camaro and Mustang used by some departments.

I'm nearly 100% positive their Indy Blue MINI is a 2002, but it may be a 2003. All I know is, they've been using the MINI since early 2003.

Midtown Blue is a law enforcement patrol, so therefore their MINI came first.

There was a similar car in San Francisco last year, but perhaps on used by passive staff. The Mini Fan Club site on MSN Groups has a page on Minis used by Police.</p> The first MINI Cooper used as a Police car in USA?
