# List of vehicles of the New York City Police Department

The New York City Police Department vehicle fleet consists of 9,624 police cars, 11 boats, eight helicopters, and numerous other vehicles.

## Liveries

The colors of NYPD vehicles are usually 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. This design was introduced in 1996 by Police Commissioner Howard Safir alongside a fleet of new Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors for cost-saving reasons to replace a blue body and white striped livery in use with modifications since 1973; originally, this livery was to feature two thinner stripes with dark green outlines before it was amended to its current form.
In 2023, Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell introduced a new design along with new 360-degree camera systems for all patrol cars. The new graphics package would pay homage to the NYPD's flag, with five green and white stripes on the background to signify the five 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 motto of "Courtesy, Professionalism, Respect" was also removed. The rollout of the design was anticipated to be completed by 2024, but the NYPD again changed the design of their vehicles before the rollout was complete. This came at a significant cost to taxpayers.

### Unmarked vehicles

The NYPD fleet also has many makes and models of unmarked vehicles. 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.
