Police in Dubai have built up a high-horsepower arsenal of luxury sports cars and SUVs over the years to complement their fleet of green-and-white patrol cruisers.
The high-end squad cars fit into the greater gearhead ethos of this desert metropolis, where fire-engine red Ferraris growl at stoplights and convertible Rolls Royces prowl the boulevard ringing the world's tallest building.
Lamborghinis also glisten through the glass of a massive new showroom on Shaikh Zayed Road, the country's longest thoroughfare that is a dozen lanes at its widest when cutting through Dubai.
But don't expect their Lamborghini Aventador to show up if you rear-end someone.
These police cars don't see duty at traffic accidents or engage in high-speed pursuits, said Dubai police Lt. Saif Sultan Rashed Al Shamsi, who oversees the tourist police's patrol section.
Instead, Al Shamsi said the cars appear for special events across Dubai - or cruise areas frequented by tourists, offering visitors a glamorous image of the Dubai police.
Below is a list of all models of exotic cars the police either have in their garage or cruising the streets of this desert metropolis:
