Poland’s first confiscated vehicle-turned-police car, a Ford Mustang GT, was officially presented to the Radom City Police on March 17th.
Origin of the Police Mustang
The story of the police Ford Mustang began on April 19, 2025, in Ślubowo, Ciechanów County. Officers from the Sońsk Police Post, operating in Gołotczyzna, discovered a sports car in a ditch.
The driver was identified as a 39-year-old resident of Warsaw. A breathalyzer test revealed an alcohol level exceeding 2 per mille. The man was arrested and charged with driving under the influence.
Vehicle Confiscation and Court Ruling
Due to regulations allowing for vehicle confiscation from drivers with over 1.5 per mille of alcohol in their blood, the car was secured in a guarded parking lot. On September 23, 2025, the Ciechanów Regional Court ruled for the forfeiture of the vehicle.
Current legislation permits the transfer of confiscated vehicles to entities other than the tax office.
Transfer to the Police Force
Following an assessment of the Mustang’s technical condition and current needs, police officers requested, and the District Prosecutor in Ciechanów supported, the transfer of the vehicle to the Main Police Headquarters. This would allow the state-owned, high-performance car to serve police officers.
On October 17, 2025, the Ciechanów Regional Court decided to transfer the car to the Police.
Deployment to Mazovian Police
The decision to assign the Mustang to the Mazovian Police was made on December 8, 2025.
