August 14, 2023 – The Allentown Police Department unveiled a change in its patrol vehicle aesthetics. This update showcases a sleek black-and-white color scheme. The new color palette was chosen to enhance visibility and align with police departments nationwide, promoting a recognizable and authoritative presence on the streets.

The Allentown Police Department introduced the change yesterday at the City’s annual Classics & Cruisers on Hamilton Street – an event that benefits the Allentown Police Department Honor Guard as well as the America on Wheels Museum.

“Our updated patrol vehicle design is more than just a visual transformation; it’s a representation of our commitment to modernization and effectiveness in serving our community,” said Police Chief Charles Roca. “As the Department looks to the future, this change reflects our pledge to uphold public safety and the principles of service and professionalism.”

The community is encouraged to keep an eye out for the gradual transition of patrol vehicles to the new black-and-white design, expected to be fully executed over the course of the next year.
