From the Post Gazette:
The Allegheny County sheriff's department has a new tool in its arsenal to “Mini-mize” crime.
The sheriff's department has unveiled the first-ever Mini Cooper law enforcement patrol car in the country, aptly named the “MINI COPPER.”
MINI of Pittsburgh, located in Shadyside, donated the car to the department for six months to a year to promote various city and county events. It will also be used in conjunction with crime prevention activities, such as child identification and protection from strangers programs.
…Fiscal watchdogs can breathe a sigh of relief. The vehicle and all its accessories were donated. While MINI of Pittsburgh provided the vehicle, Christopher and Vince Longo Sr., of VLA Communications, created the concept, Antolik's Graphics Studio provided the sheriff decals and B&D Electronics custom-made the siren and emergency lighting system.
“It's a win-win for everybody,” Bill Schmitt, manager of MINI of Pittsburgh, said. “It's good exposure for the sheriff's department and for us.”

I believe this may be the first one in the US.
