A California police department wants to be the first agency to have a law enforcement-branded Cybertruck, according to an internal email obtained by 404 Media.
The email Sergeant Jacob Gallacher, of the Anaheim Police Department, sent in early February read “P.S. I spoke with the Chief yesterday and we still want to be the first police agency to have a Cybertruck. If anyone can make that happen, I know it is you!” Gallacher sent the email to James Hedland from UP.FIT, a company that sells modified Teslas for use by law enforcement. The email was part of a conversation about the department’s use of Teslas.
Gallacher later told 404 Media that the email was something of “a joke,” but reaffirmed the agency’s wish to obtain a Cybertruck before other agencies, even if more for “community engagement” than using it as a patrol vehicle.
“We would, but it’s not necessarily from a patrol perspective,” Gallacher said. 404 Media obtained the email through a public records request.
dont advertise for elon, downvote
Being aware of what police departments are up to is not an advertisement for Elon.
Also, no one here is going to buy the
Homer CarCybertruck.I appreciate the sentiment of not promoting Elmo but yeah. Even if it wasn’t a dumpster fire, i doubt there’s a lot of potential buyers here.
If the truck didn’t have a bunch of issues I would totally buy one. I like how it looks.
