SACRAMENTO – California Highway Patrol will be deploying an updated tool against dangerous drivers this week.
On Thursday, CHP revealed plans to deploy dozens of low-profile patrol vehicles.
The vehicles have minimal markings that distinguish them as a cop car. Understated CHP livery will adorn the sides of some vehicles, but sirens are integrated inside.
Highlighting the goal to blend in with traffic, the vehicles – which are Dodge Durangos outfitted with the police interceptor high-performance package – will mostly stick to common private vehicle stock colors.

— CHP Headquarters (@CHP_HQ) May 8, 2025CHP says they are specifically taking aim against "video game-styled" driving.
"The new vehicles give our officers an important advantage," said CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee in a statement. "They will allow us to identify and stop drivers who are putting others at risk, while still showing a professional and visible presence once enforcement action is needed."
According to numbers cited by CHP, officers field nearly 1,000 reports a day regarding reckless driving.
Highway patrol and other law enforcement agencies often employ low-profile vehicles in their fleets.
CHP noted that the first 25 vehicles of their new low-profile generation are being deployed around the state as of early May.
By June, CHP expects to have 100 low-profile patrol vehicles deployed strategically along the state's busiest roadways.
