The Cedar Hill Police Department (CHPD) hit a nostalgic milestone, celebrating its 50th anniversary by sharing a look back at the evolution of its patrol cars. In a social media post that brought the past fifty years into focus, the CHPD showcased the various makes, models, and styles of vehicles that have served as mobile offices for Cedar Hill's finest.

From classic sedans to modern SUVs, the fleet has unmistakably transformed since the department's inception. "A lot has changed on the outside and the inside of these mobile offices," the Cedar Hill Police Department mused in a Facebook post. Those residents old enough to remember when the busy crossroad at Hwy 67 and Cooper sported a mere flashing light were likely to quickly recognize the classic squad car in the first accompanying photo.

The department's social media page has been a flurry of activity as the community joined in the commemoration. Proudly displaying throwback pictures, Cedar Hill residents shared their memories and experiences with the department through the years. Amid the celebration, it was clear that the patrol cars signified more than just changing technology; they symbolized the steady presence of law enforcement in a town that prides itself on community.

Observing the half-century mark, CHPD's commemoration has been met with support from the community it serves, a testament to the town's connection with its protectors. The officers and the vehicles may have evolved, but the spirit of service within the Cedar Hill Police Department appears to have steadfastly remained the same. #50years #CHPD, the department hashtagged, ready to face the roads and the challenges the next 50 years will bring.
