Looks like the new police Dodge Chargers are getting ready to go into service. Someone shot a video of a bunch of police Chargers parked outside the Mulla Behbahani service center in Al Rai. I first posted about the Dodge Charger back when the MOI were still deciding between which car make to go with so it’s interesting to see the progression in time from testing to the final release stage.

January 2008 – MOI testing new police cars
July 2008 – Dodge Charger is finalist
September 2008 – Kuwait orders 150 Dodge Chargers

Hope they’ll be able to catch up with the hooligans creating a nuisance in Salwa with their cars late at night!
These policemen are in for a treat.
meh ……
this is the last time we will see these cars .
cuz we only see the police cars in the pic`s ,internet & in the tv , but you will never find police cars in the street .
and akeed bel police station in the parkings 🙂
Cops are responsible for fixing their cars! So they won’t be pushing these cars too hard…
On another note.. I know that I can get away from these cars pretty easily since, the two door I have can outrun and out maneuver this Dodge charger, even if its heavily modified as others have mentioned before.. but I would like to get the details on it for sure!
I love how it took them a fucking year just to get new cars
Marzouq… wain ib tin7ash ballah? il shuwari3 kilaha za7ma :/
lol Marzouq they’ll just need your license plate.
It’s not the fast and furious, or 2 fast 2 furious in your case. haha
they launched them for the first time during the military thing they did
I was just going to say that too. These Chargers were used extensively in the military parade at Subhan a couple of weeks back.
here is a picture of some of the chargers at the parade

Kuwait should not waste its money. They should just build observation towers along the highways where the policemen can watch from a safer distance.
MUSCLE CARS HUH
@carly:
CCTV is definitely the way forward. There would be proof. Nobody would be able to contest felonies and security would be right up there.
But if we did have CCTV (closed circuit surveillance) most police officers would get pissed because they wouldn’t get a chance to chat up chicks ………
[I can’t believe I used the word “chicks” …. goddamnit I need to relearn the english language ……. ]
Like they say in ‘The Fast and The Furious’.It’s not the car,it’s the driver.Can any of those cops really handle a high speed chase.
if you are fast enough and far enough they can’t get your license plate number! lol
I think they would be good in a straight line.. thats about it!
the bmw conversion was still a better conversion than these crappy chargers. now if they ever decided to use the new challenger, which is high improbable, THAT would be news.
I remember during the 80s or early 90s in Kuwait – my mind might be rusty – did the police buy Ford Taurus’ (you know the ones in ‘Robocop’) as vehicles? Or am I getting flashbacks from the movie?
Lol…Doha is getting Lamborghini Gallardo Traffic patrols teams.Beat that..

Not to sound preachy, but Marzouq, are you going to put other people lives in danger on the road so that you can play ‘catch me copper’ with the police? I hope for sanity’s sake that you were only joking.
