The all-new Ford Focus ST has been given a full makeover to turn it into an official police patrol vehicle.<\/p>\n

Having made its movie debut in the UK crime film The Sweeney – which stars Ray Winstone and Plan B – the car has been given a law enforcement overhaul for policing purposes.<\/p>\n

While the motor in the flick was unmarked for the use of Flying Squad detectives Regan and Carter, this one-off demonstrator was developed at Ford Special Vehicle Preparations in Earls Colne, Essex to serve as a compact traffic car.<\/p>\n

The decision to update the auto suggests those in the market for the latest Ford deals<\/a> may be drawn to the Focus ST if they are looking for a vehicle that is both practical and contemporary.<\/p>\n

Motor enthusiasts had the chance to check out the police patrol car – which meets the requirements of the latest National Policing Improvement Agency standards related to fast vehicle response – when it appeared at the National Association of Police Fleet Managers' (NAPFM) Conference and Blue Light Fleet Exhibition in Peterborough.<\/p>\n

The dashboard of the souped-up vehicle has been fitted with a mobile data terminal and screen, which aims to make the car more versatile for multi-police use, while the light bar on the roof is all LED.<\/p>\n

Terry Adams, direct sales manager for police, fire and ambulance at Ford, said: "With the Ford Focus ST being seen so publicly on cinema screens nationwide, the timing for this official version couldn't be better."<\/p>\n

Mr Adams added: "At the NAPFM show we displayed the car's crime-fighting talents to police transport managers and took bookings for demonstrations."<\/p>\n

The Ford Focus ST boasts a 2.0-litre 250PS EcoBoost engine and has the ability to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in just 6.5 seconds.<\/p>\n

Its top speed is 154 mph – which could come in handy for police trying to catch criminals – while the everyday versions of the motor are available in five bright colours, including Spirit Blue and Tangerine Scream.<\/p>\n
