Matchbox 2016 Ford Interceptor.
Matchbox County Police. In the USA each state is divided into counties that have their own elected officials, which include an elected Sheriff, and his deputies, they are police and also run a county jail.
The county jail accepts prisoners from any police agency in the county that makes an arrest, many small towns don't have a jail or don't keep prisoners for more than a few days or even a few hours.
But some counties also have police, separate from the Sheriff's office. They usually have a specific police function, such as patrol county property like parks and county buildings.
Matchbox has made this same vehicle in generic police markings. Most police agencies in the US mark their vehicles with the word POLICE in large letters and the name of the city or other agency they represent.
Here the the two vehicles together.
I will probably not change these markings but I may add to them to indicate a specific agency name, maybe on the back.
Same markings by Matchbox but on two different vehicle types.
I like that consistancy.
