Yesterday, the Straits Times reported that the Singapore Police Force (SPF) is developing a new, more high-tech version of their police patrol car.
The new design is expected to project a more futuristic and formidable image of the force, and may consist of these eight features:
– 1. Auto licence plate number recognition that can track even moving vehicles
– 2. Collision avoidance system
– 3. GPS navigation
– 4. Exterior mounted lights
– 5. In-vehicle video system that can record in four directions
– 6. Infra-red transmitter to control traffic lights
– 7. Night vision thermal imager
8. Shatter-resistant windscreens
According to tender documents, the new police patrol car will probably have an engine capacity of two to three litres.
