Police Cars are constantly patrolling the streets of Mega-Primus, and will engage any enemy of Megapol (including X-COM, if provoked). They will provide limited support against UFOs, but are ineffective against the more heavily armored types.
 
== In X-COM Service ==
 
Use of multiple mods is required for this vehicle to be of any worth to X-COM. Even then, it is marginal at best. The Police Car attacking enemy flyers is like gnats attacking a bear. It costs far too much for what it offers, but could make a fun roleplay vehicle, escorting other X-COM vehicles on missions.
