Are you sure?
The Irvine Police Department in California has acquired an innovative Tesla Cybertruck with a singular purpose: to promote education on drug abuse prevention among youth. This unique vehicle, which has been equipped with emergency technology, cost a total of $153,175.03. Despite its futuristic appearance, which may seem the result of overflowing imagination, the Irvine Police are confident that this model will assist them in their mission.
The Cybertruck will join the city's Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program, information shared through the Irvine Police's social media. According to their post, this purchase marks what could be the first police Cybertruck in the country. It is highlighted that, although it will not be used as a regular patrol vehicle, it will be able to respond to emergencies and offer assistance to the community when necessary.
For over thirty years, DARE officers have utilized eye-catching and unique vehicles to capture students' attention, and the addition of the Cybertruck aims to continue that tradition. The Irvine Police take pride in being among the few DARE programs in the state and reaffirm their commitment to the ongoing education of youth.
However, the decision to acquire a Cybertruck has sparked controversy, given that the vehicle has faced multiple recall issues and its design has generated both criticism and admiration. Despite the potential drawbacks, the department is confident that this acquisition will contribute to their goal of preventing drug abuse among teenagers.
