I've never understood this, PC takes a beating the fleet cars have purpose built brakes, suspension, chassis, electrical systems etc just to stand up to the day to day use. Why would anyone want to use their personal car for work. In my experience statistically every police car on the road is involved in some type of collision annually.
Makes no sense from liability, maintenance and availability issues.
