After a 16-year hiatus from NASCAR Winston Cup racing, Dodge returned to the race track and the winner’s circle in 2001 with Intrepid. And after a 12-year hiatus from hot pursuits, Dodge returns to patrolling the streets with its 2002 Dodge Intrepid police car package.

Available to police departments only, the police vehicle package is based on the powerful 2002 Dodge Intrepid R/T — the Dodge version of the modern-day muscle car, which features a high-output 3.5-liter SOHC V6 engine that delivers 242 horsepower.
In addition to a powerful engine, the Dodge Intrepid police package features a high-performance suspension, heavy-duty four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes, purpose-built lighting, and a severe-duty powertrain cooling system.

“Similar to racing, Dodge has a proud police car heritage,” said Jim Julow, Vice President, of the Dodge Global Brand Center. “After conducting extensive one-on-one research with police officers throughout the country, Dodge created a police vehicle that specifically answers their call for ride, handling, performance, space and comfort.”

The former Chrysler Corporation dominated the police car business throughout the 1960s, 70s and early 80s with market shares ranging from 45 to 60 percent.
