Tucson police say they hope its lowrider project help connect its officers with car enthusiasts and young people in the community.
After three years of being in the works, TPD has its own lowrider. It may not be very useful chasing bad guys, but the department hopes it can help bring the Tucson community together one hydraulic pump at a time.

“We don’t want to give too much away, but it will have a custom interior and a custom stereo,” said DiGregorio. “Nothing completely outrageous, we have to keep a sensible budget that we’re going to be able to meet . . . a nice interior with a nice sound system.”
