      Seven Decades on the Beat

      Ford introduced the company’s first purpose-built police package in 1950, kicking off more than 70 years of working with law enforcement customers, and that dedication continues today. Every vehicle is designed with what we call the Ford Police DNA – officer safety, durability, performance, purpose-built and upfit friendly.
