Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers will soon be patrolling Ontario roadways and communities in the traditional black and white police car, adding greater visibility and instant recognition to OPP general duty and traffic patrol.
"We welcome the return of the traditional black and white cruisers," said Minister Kwinter. "Their enhanced visibility on Ontario’s major highways will add significantly to the safe driving message we want to reinforce with the motoring public. We support the OPP and the important work police officers are doing to keep our communities safe," added Minister Kwinter.
"The black and white patrol vehicle will be instantly recognizable as an OPP patrol car and, with the new LED high visibility roof lights and vehicle markings, will have a greater impact on the visibility of OPP vehicles patrolling our communities and our roadways," added Commissioner Fantino.
"Officer and public safety are the primary concerns," said Commissioner Fantino.

I dunno..... a car is a car. If it helps with officer safety then im all for it, and although i liked the white colour scheme, the old black and white one does look pretty slick in the picture... http://www.opp.ca/images/OPP_2007_Black&White_print.jpg
