A police car (also called a police cruiser, police interceptor, patrol car, cop car, prowl car, squad car, radio car, or radio motor patrol (RMP)) is a ground vehicle used by the police for transportation during patrols and to enable them to respond to incidents and chases. A police car is typically used by police officers so they can reach the scene of an incident quickly, patrol an area, and transport and temporarily detain suspects. Police officers also use their vehicles to use their police radio, laptop and/or tablet, all while providing a visible deterrent to crime. Some police cars are specially adapted for certain locations (e.g., traffic duty on busy roads) or for certain operations (e.g., transporting police dogs or bomb squads). Police cars typically have rooftop flashing lights
