I believe I've seen a few of these cars down in Washington DC.

I agree, there are alot of agencies out there with alot of special powers. Perfect example: The Department of Education has a police agency.

Probably the agency with the widest police powers? Postal Inspection Service. You DO NOT mess with the mail.

As a note, they were probably used for their Explosive Detection Dog Teams.

You know, i see these FPS vehicles all the time in dutchess county. I stopped with the rescue chief during our last big snow storm to help out one of these guys out. He was trying to push a car out of the ditch back onto the road.

I've also seen these cars parked in downtown Peekskill a few times. Usually on park Street near one of the office buildings there.
