Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
We told you it was coming, and here it is -- the Dallas Police Department's new black-and-white ride, which made its debut mere moments ago in front of DPD HQ on South Lamar. With its intense LED lights, silk-screened graphics and that "Serving Since 1881" motto plastered on the sides, these cars are a definite upgrade from the blue-and-whites rolled out in 1992. The department's fleet manager, Lt. Dale Barnard, says 266 of the brand-new cars will hit the streets in late February. So, you've been warned. More photos after the jump.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
