Police vehicles in New York City

Short description: none

<section begin=vehicles /> The New York City Police Department vehicle fleet consists of 9,624 police cars, 11 boats, eight helicopters, and numerous other vehicles.^[1] Responsibility of operation and maintenance lies with the NYPD's Support Services Bureau.

The current colors of NYPD vehicles is an all-white body with two blue stripes along each side. The word "POLICE" is printed in small text above the front wheel wells, and as "NYPD Police" above the front grille. The NYPD patch is emblazoned on both sides, either on or just forward of the front doors. The letters "NYPD" are printed in blue Rockwell Extra Bold font on the front doors, and the NYPD motto "Courtesy, Professionalism, Respect" is printed on the rear ones. The unit's shop number is printed on the rear decklid. The shop number is also printed on the rear side panels above the gas intake, along with the number of the unit's assigned precinct.

In 2023, Police Commissioner Keeshant Sewell announced that a new, redesigned RMP graphics scheme had been unveiled, along with new 360 degree camera systems for all RMPs. The new graphics package will now pay homage to the NYPD's flag, 5 Green and white stripes on the background to signify the 5 boroughs of the city with a dark blue Canton of 24 stars, each representing a village that was absorbed by the City of New York.

The familiar "NYPD" and the department shield still adorn the front doors, but gone is the C.P.R. (Community, Professionalism, Respect) motto on the rear doors, replaced with a windshield banner that states "Protecting NYC Since 1845". The new RMP is set to be fully rolled out by midsummer 2024.^[2] <section end=vehicles />

Vehicles also include motorcycles, bicycles, and police boats. There are other vehicles that are not on this list.

The NYPD also have unmarked vehicles that consist of many makes and models. Some units will be assigned normal police unmarked vehicles, while detectives, vice, special investigations, etc., may be assigned vehicles that are hard to distinguish from a regular car.^[3]
