Ford Police Interceptor Utility gets stealthy light bar

By CARSIFU | 8 April 2016


DETROIT: A stealthy approach is tantamount when seeking law breakers on the run, which is why Ford will offer a new factory-installed front interior visor light bar for police agency patrol vehicles in the country.

When activated, its flashes may be bright in alternating red and blue bars through the top of the windshield, but if required, it can also be programmed for red/red or blue/blue operation.



Furthermore, it can be programmed from full intensity down to just 20%, and provide auto-dimming capability as well while featuring bright-white “take down” and “scene” capabilities for improved forward visibility.

Another advantage of the new interior visor light is that the dark shade band at the top of the windshield, which is replaced by clear glass when the light is ordered - helping to provide improved colour visibility and brightness.



The non-intrusive interior compact light bar is available to order with the 2017 Ford Police Interceptor Utility and comes with a limited warranty.

“Today, agencies typically use aftermarket interior visor light bars that are somewhat bulky and can obstruct the field of vision – especially for taller officers. This extremely low-profile unit is fully integrated where the headliner and top of the windshield meet, for tremendously improved driver visibility versus aftermarket alternatives,” said Ford police marketing manager (North American fleet) lease and remarketing operations Stephen Tyler.
