THE first of new Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series police vehicles is already patrolling the streets of Ipswich, west of Brisbane, but more are set to be rolled out state-wide in coming months. Operational police had strong input in the design of the new LandCruisers, which are equipped with a range of tools, communications systems, safety devices, command planning equipment, lighting and ARB storage system.

“This vehicle has been designed by the very officers responsible for leading frontline policing, which means it has everything they could want or need to do their job efficiently and safely,” said QPS assistant commissioner Matthew Vanderbyl.
