At least 100 more patrol vehicles, Toyota Innovas, will soon join the fleet of the traffic police and will be used in regulating the flow of traffic. The city police fleet has more than 2,000 vehicles.
The new SUVs, will be handed over to the traffic police by chief minister J Jayalalithaa at a formal function on Friday. They will be later sent to various units across the city, including in the extended parts, as per the allotment.
The state`s police officers have begun zipping around in swanky cars and high-end patrol vehicles. The old white Ambassador has made way for Hondas and Toyotas — at considerable cost to the state.
The makeover, which began several years ago with induction of models such as Hyundai Accent, now extends to patrolling vehicles as well as those used by senior officers. About 87 Mahindra Boleros joined the city police fleet in July.
