Vote For New York's New Patrol Mustang In Cruiser Contest

The New York State Police are hoping their newest patrol car can bring home more than just speeding tickets.

Earlier this year, we learned that the New York State Police began adding new Mustang GT patrol cars to its fleet. The agency added 19 Mustangs in total, giving troopers another tool designed for speed, performance, and maneuverability.

Now, the State Police are hoping the new ride can bring home a trophy.

The agency has officially entered its brand-new Ford Mustang patrol vehicle into the American Association of State Troopers' 13th Annual America's Best Looking Cruiser Contest, and they're asking all of us New Yorkers to help put the Empire State on top.
