I always liked the GC8 cop car. Introduced to keep up with the ram-raiders, the V8 Commodore highway patrol cars just couldn’t keep up with a stolen Rex apparently. Fight fire with fire.

Is "ram raiding" the same thing throughout the world?

Blazer EV Police Pursuit livery. First EV that will be designed specifically for police chases.

Yea, most EVs in cop livery are used for none pursuit situations, parking tickets, transportation, that sort of thing. I assume there are exceptions of course, the occasional Model Y that has been confiscated and converted.
