The Stargazer-P is a high-end Stargazer model, modified into a police version. The most prominent features of the advanced police package are a push/pursuit bumper, extra lighting, night vision technology, accident data recorder, better communications system, and seats built for police officers.
The unique push/pursuit beam that extends beyond the normal bumper of a police car is a high-strength stainless steel and cast aluminum push bar that is used for assisting stranded vehicles, but it can also be used as an offensive tool during a car chase. With a properly executed push in the corner of the fleeing vehicle, the push beam will force the suspect's vehicle into a spin. This technique is used to disable fleeing vehicles, thus avoiding a high-speed chase and possible injury to innocent bystanders.
The separate push beam has another benefit: it reduces the need for costly body repairs. Like the push/pursuit beam on the front end, the rear bumper also has a structural polymer extension.
For night work, the Stargazer-P features high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps flanked by halogen strobe lights, and a light bar on top with flashing halogen and strobe lights which features sun, snow and fog modes for use in extreme weather conditions. As well, the rear deck and tail lamps will strobe when the vehicle is parked and the light bar is activated. The Interceptor also features front-facing halogen searchlights which swivel up, down and from side-to-side and are operated remotely from within the cabin.
To catch crooks at night, the Stargazer-P includes NightEye night-vision technology, a low-light camera technology developed by Nexus Research Laboratories and DPUO-Tech Inc. Attached to the light bar atop the vehicle, NightEye CCD cameras require a very low amount of light to operate, enabling officers to improve their vision at night and in all areas around the stopped vehicle. The cameras can be set up to record and automatically displays the view on the cars HUD.
If the car is involved in a collision while on duty, an Accident Data Recorder 'Blue Box' records crash data including speed, throttle, and steering angle. The Blue Box is crash-hardened to ensure the data can be retrieved for investigation and used to study ways to increase safety in future vehicles.
In order to respond more quickly to a call for backup, new communications technology enables officers to communicate with each other without using a central dispatching infrastructure, within a range of up to 4000 meters. As well, the system includes new voice-recognition software that allows the officer to speak to his vehicle without taking his hands off the steering wheel. The system listens, understands and acts on the situation by wirelessly sharing emergency information, location, speed, and heading. Using this same technology, officers can chat back and forth with voice-activated features. If other police cars are not available, an I2I smart system by Nexis Corporation uses a cellular option and contacts the dispatch center with a call for assistance.
Spending a whole shift in a police car can get pretty uncomfortable, so the Interceptor concept includes specially designed front bucket seats with a narrow "seat-belt" to accommodate officers' bulky belts and holsters. The seats are reinforced with hard plastic backs to prevent prisoners from kicking through the seat or piercing the seat with a weapon from the rear. A taller headrest provides greater support behind the head with a double lock inhibiting the wrong person from removing it and using it as a weapon.
A highly advanced police cage in the rear seating area that keeps the criminal from exscaping or hurting the officer, even if he has a gun or knife.
Other than the police package the vehicle comes with that standard package which includes power lock and windows, am/fm radio, CD player, frontal and side airbags, and cruise control.
