Police department debuts ‘first police Cybertruck in the nation’ to impress kids

California police department debuts ‘first police Cybertruck in the nation’ to impress kids

Car was bought as part of the drug abuse education program that uses flashy vehicle to make police seem approachable

"... The police department paid $150,000 for the vehicle. A Ford Interceptor, the typical model of its patrol cars, costs $116,000. The department says the patrol cars last for just three to four years, whereas it expects the Cybertruck to last a decade. It also expects to save $6,000 in gas on the EV over five years.

The Drug Abuse Resistance Education program, which sends police to classrooms to urge children to stay off drugs, has a controversial history of its own. Instituted in 1983 as a collaboration between Los Angeles police and public schools, it soon spread across the US. In the late 90s and early 2000s, studies found that it had no significant effect and could even backfire.

The program was overhauled in 2009 and remains in use in some parts of the country. Irvine is one of two cities in California that still have the program, which has expanded its focus from drugs to include bullying, healthy eating and other lifestyle issues, Oldoerp said."
