Florida cops unveil seized Corvette for patrol and outreach events

The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) recently unveiled a new addition to their fleet, a bright orange 2023 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray.

What's happening: The Corvette isn't your typical police cruiser. It's a flashy sports car that FHP plans to use both for patrols and educational events.

The car was seized by the FHP in a joint operation with the DEA, meaning no taxpayer money was spent purchasing this vehicle.
Troopers plan to show off the car during community outreach programs, attracting attention and interest.

Why it matters: Law enforcement agencies often look to make an impression at community events, and this Corvette will likely draw a crowd.

The car's flashy looks could help highlight the role police play in public safety while sparking interest in law enforcement careers.
