"The Irvine Police Department (IPD) is excited to unveil what we believe is the first police Tesla Cybertruck in the nation.

While the fully equipped vehicle won't be used as a patrol car, it can respond to emergencies and assist the community when needed. For over three decades, our DARE officers have driven attention-grabbing and one-of-a-kind vehicles that never fail to turn heads and excite students. IPD believes in the continual education of students and is one of only two DARE programs in the entire state."
