ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) – The cars have red and blue lights, a shield and the word ‘police’ on the side. They’re a new addition to downtown St. Louis.
“I thought is this a police car? Did they get a new logo?” asked Mitch Eagles when he first saw them in January. “It was actually the day after I saw this story about fake police officers trying to rob people.”
The cars are owned by a company called The City’s Finest. While they’re a new fixture in downtown, they have been patrolling the Central West End and The Grove for years.
