The 2025 Chevy Blazer EV PPV Leads Chevrolet’s 70-Year History of Building Police Vehicles
For more than 70 years, Chevrolet has been a steadfast partner to law enforcement agencies across the nation, delivering vehicles designed to meet the evolving demands of police work. Their 2025 police vehicle lineup continues this legacy with new innovations, including the debut of Chevrolet’s first all-electric, pursuit-rated police vehicle.
Introducing the 2025 Chevrolet Blazer All-Electric PPV
Leading the 2025 lineup is the groundbreaking Chevrolet Blazer EV Police Pursuit Vehicle (PPV) — the first-ever all-electric, purpose-built pursuit-rated police vehicle.
- EPA-estimated range: 297 miles
- Top speed: 130 MPH
- Horsepower: 498 HP (Performance AWD)
- Torque: 531 lb.-ft. max available
The Blazer EV PPV pairs police-specific engineering with the impressive capability and instant torque of electric power. Purpose-built from the ground up for law enforcement, it offers uncompromising performance while supporting sustainability efforts — making it easier for agencies to transition to electric fleets without sacrificing mission-critical capabilities.
Chevrolet and GM Envolve – the General Motors fleet business – are fully committed to supporting America’s law enforcement agencies with vehicles that meet their evolving needs.
“The changes and enhancements in our model year 2025 police vehicle lineup are a result of feedback from our law enforcement customers,” said Yuri Tello, manager of government sales for GM Envolve. “With a focus on sustainability and performance, Chevy and GM Envolve aim to help law enforcement operations meet their sustainability goals while enhancing safety and efficiency.”
The 2025 Blazer EV PPV joins two gas-powered police vehicles built by Chevrolet, the 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe PPV and the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado PPV.
2025 Chevrolet Tahoe PPV: An Icon Reimagined
The Tahoe PPV, Chevy’s longest-running police nameplate, continues to evolve. For 2025, it boasts significant upgrades:
- A massive 17.1-inch infotainment screen
- Standard HD Surround Vision for improved situational awareness
- Advanced safety and driver assistance technology, including a rearview camera mirror
This blend of modern technology and rugged dependability ensures the Tahoe PPV remains a trusted workhorse for departments nationwide.
2025 Chevrolet Silverado PPV: Power Meets Versatility
For law enforcement operations that demand strength, adaptability, and off-road capability, the Silverado PPV delivers:
- A robust 5.3L V8 engine under the hood
- Standard 220-amp alternator to power high-demand equipment
- Z71 off-road package for all-terrain readiness
- The only pursuit-rated pickup offering an optional 2-inch suspension lift
With top-tier braking performance — thanks to 6-piston Brembo® front brake calipers on 16-inch rotors — the Silverado PPV proved to be the best braking pickup tested by the Michigan State Police.
A Legacy of Purpose-Built Police Vehicles
Chevrolet’s commitment to law enforcement dates back nearly a century. In the 1920s, police departments started purchasing Chevrolet sedans and GMC panel trucks to improve operational efficiency. These early vehicles were often retrofitted with radios, enhanced lighting, and reinforced brakes.
A major milestone came in 1955 with the launch of the first factory-installed police packages. Models like the Chevrolet One-Fifty sedan and Two-Ten station wagon offered heavy-duty chassis components and the powerful 265 cid Super Turbo-Fire V8 engine, delivering 205 horsepower — the highest output available for police work at the time.
Over the decades, Chevrolet continued refining its police offerings. Notable moments include the 1991 B4C Chevrolet Camaro police cruiser, which brought high-performance capabilities into the fleet. Through constant innovation — from enhanced safety technologies to smarter infotainment systems — Chevy has stayed closely attuned to the needs of those who serve and protect.
Serving Those Who Serve
As Chevrolet and GM Envolve move into the future, their mission remains unchanged: to provide law enforcement agencies with the best tools to keep communities safe. By combining cutting-edge technology, durability, and purpose-built performance, Chevy’s 2025 police vehicle lineup ensures officers are ready for whatever challenges lie ahead — both today and tomorrow. As the EV revolution spreads across vehicles of every type, the enhanced speed and cost savings of fully electric police vehicles are becoming the future of policing and emergency response.
