Minnesota State Patrol Squad Cars Get Retro Look


In an effort to make State patrol vehicles more recognizable (along with spending tax payers’ money…), Minnesota State Police announced that they are giving a new or rather, a vintage look to their squad cars.

"The new design aims to strengthen the identity of the State Patrol, enabling motorists to better recognize troopers and how the agency supports safe travel on Minnesota roads," said a State Patrol press release. "The squads will also improve the visibility of troopers - enhancing trooper safety and helping the agency stand out among other vehicles to encourage safe driving”
