Hundreds of new police vehicles hit the road in 2025
- 400 new Toyota RAV4 hybrid vehicles to replace general duties police cars across Queensland
- Vehicles feature multiple improved safety features, including driver protection screens and specialist lighting
- One of a suite of measures implemented by the Crisafulli Government to give police the resources and laws they need to keep Queensland safe.
Police officers across the state will be handed the keys to 400 new SUVs, with the Crisafulli Government today unveiling Queensland's newest fleet of crime-fighting vehicles.
The fit-for-purpose RAV4s feature a number of improved safety features, including custom-made driver protection screens, specialist lighting systems, and modernised lockable storage for weapons.
The hybrid vehicles will replace hundreds of Toyota Camrys currently being used by general duties officers across Queensland.
This roll-out is just one of a suite of measures that the Crisafulli Government has implemented to support the Making Queensland Safer Laws which came into effect last month.
The vehicles are part of the Crisafulli Government's plan to give front-line police the resources they need to do their jobs effectively and safely, which will continue to deliver change for Queensland.
Minister for Police and Emergency Services Dan Purdie said the roll-out would commence within the next three months.
"Vehicles are an integral piece of policing equipment and are often used as an 'office on wheels' by general duties officers," Minister Purdie said.
"Ensuring they have the latest technology and mod cons will mean frontline police are better equipped do their jobs from the road.
"It will also mean improved safety conditions for our officers and the community, which is a top priority for the Crisafulli Government."
The fleet features a mix of blue, silver, and white RAV4s, which are fitted with specially designed pursuit lightbars that synchronise with flash patterns across other emergency vehicles.
