Half Squad Car, Half Taxi Decor = 1 Message in MN

Looking like half a police car, half taxi cab, this squad car in Fridley, MN is meant to startle New Year's Eve drinkers with a message: 'Choose Your Ride'

FRIDLEY, MN—Dr. Doolittle would be proud.

Local law enforcement agencies will roll out a new police vehicle Monday in Fridley dubbed a "Taxi Squad."

Inside, it's all squad car. Outside, however, its front half is a squad car. Its back half is decked out as a taxi.

It's set to cruise nightclubs, bars and restaurants in Anoka County, MN starting New Year's Eve—not to give rides or make arrests but to deliver a message: "Choose Your Ride."

yes, we LOVE Glen Gate. Worth every penny and they always come quickly if something is not workingRead More (even on memorial day last year!!) Their staff is so kind, respectful and polite, especially with my children. I like them so much I always remember them at Christmas.
