Overview
- The Dearborn Police Department has launched an Aggressive Driving Unit and assigned three all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E patrol cars that were publicly unveiled at the city’s 100th Annual Memorial Day parade.
- Officials say the vehicles are low-profile, accelerate quickly and run quietly so officers can blend into regular traffic and spot behaviors that standard marked cruisers might miss.
- The unit is focused on intercepting speeding, tailgating, cellphone use, drag racing, road rage and other moving violations that officers link to collisions.
- Dearborn increased traffic enforcement last year, issuing more than 33,000 citations in 2025, and residents report already seeing the new units on city streets.
- City leaders frame the unit as one part of a broader traffic-safety strategy that combines enforcement, public education and roadway engineering, though no independent data on crash or injury reductions from the unit have been released yet.
