OUR neighbours in the good ol' USA may try to do most things bigger and better than us, but when it comes to the thin blue line, we're racing ahead.
Police cars used in Winsford and Middlewich have just been voted the best in the world!
The cars beat off competition from 300 other forces to win the title of Best International Police Vehicle Design in US-based magazine Law and Order.
The cars were picked because of their world-class design, because they are easily recognisable and functional.
The magazine's editorial director, Bruce Cameron, said: "The response to this competition was outstanding. Cheshire Police can be truly proud."
