The Irvine Police Department in California, United States, is introducing a Tesla Cybertruck into its vehicle fleet, which will not be used for traditional patrols but rather as part of a community outreach program.
The vehicle, which can cost over $95,000, will support the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program and other community-focused initiatives.
According to the department, the goal is to create positive interactions with the youth of Irvine. The Cybertruck will join other unique police vehicles, such as specially painted trucks and a PT Cruiser, used to attract attention and stimulate conversations with citizens.
The department plans to make several stops in the community so residents can see the Cybertruck up close. Interaction with students and teachers is considered valuable and essential for building a positive relationship between the police and the community.
