The first all-electric HERO-wrapped patrol vehicle was unveiled Wednesday afternoon on the Atlantic City Boardwalk in front of the Tropicana thanks to a partnership between the John R. Elliott HERO Campaign for Designated Drivers and the Atlantic City Police Department. The ACPD’s new Mustang Mach-E is the 21st patrol vehicle from police departments throughout southern New Jersey to be wrapped with the HERO Campaign’s logo and slogan promoting the use of designated drivers to prevent drunk driving.

 

“The Atlantic City Police Department is honored to partner with the HERO Campaign on the patrol car wrap program,” said ACPD Chief James Sarkos. “We were one of the first police departments to participate several years ago, so we know how valuable it is to use our HERO patrol vehicle to remind Atlantic City’s residents and visitors to have a designated driver when consuming alcoholic beverages. We’re proud that this Mustang Mach-E is the first all-electric vehicle in Atlantic City, and also the first in the HERO fleet.”

 

Mayor Marty Small, Sr. and Chief Sarkos helped remove the cover from the car. Atlantic City joins a fleet of HERO-wrapped patrol/emergency vehicles from municipalities throughout southern New Jersey.
