Patrolllll I'm on patrolllll I'm on patrooo-WOAH!
Forest Police is the LEGO City I was first introduced to
This was one of my first sets. I have no memory of the car but I remember using the pieces of the barricade for various weapons and such.
Not a bear in sight! The Bear Patrol must be working like a charm!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this was the first City police car (besides SUVs) to accommodate for two minifigs.

Sure, if the cop sits on the perp’s lap.

No, I have this, both minifigs can comfortably sit in the interior.
I was mildly disappointed, upon looking at this set's inventory, to discover that the sign isn't a printed piece.
Is that the same crook from 2005?
Also for a moment Ifelt like this was connected to the Lego City Undercover game, but that's a different one.

In fact, this was the last time that crook appeared in any LEGO City set. :(
EDIT:
Strange, all of a sudden my IP detects me being in Sweden rather than Latvia. @Huw is there a way to change this back to normal?
That cars so blue I’m half expecting Harry Potter to fly it to Hogwarts
At one point I had two of these for sale. I must say that it's functionally an improvement on the 2005 version (it was high time for a new one too. Can you imagine THAT happening with City!?). The terrain build is more than you get from a LOT of the very vehicle-centric City theme. So that's nice.

The roof part was brand new at the time and specifically allows a stretched interior so they can sit in tandem. Is it realistic to sit like that? Of course not. But it offers options for play.

This looks a like a job for.... HALL MONITOR!'
*SpongeBob proceeds to cause 60+ car pileup while blissfully unaware of what he's doing*
(It's a different scene from what MCLegoboy was referencing, but the same episode.)
We were offered one of two gift items one time— the Man of Steel Zod Battle and this. I made the right choice getting the former tbh.
If only my younger self could be obsessed with lego.
2012 Forest Police was an S tier City Subtheme without a doubt

Recidivism? In LEGOLAND? Eh, they do have the prison stripes tattooed right onto their skin.
The first introduction of the mounty hat. It's a shame it has only been released in tan and dark tan. I would love to see it in more colors.
