Your post raises more questions than it answers.

Do you us a MINI on patrol?
If so, which model?
Heck, Which model regardless?
If you use your MINI on patrol does it provide benefit that other vehicles would not? As an example, I could see the MINI fitting under the bleachers allowing you to chase nefarious kids out of hiding places.

Inquiring minds need to know!

I can't see the U.S using a mini in any form as a patrol car . It could be a detective car provided to a state employee for personal use..
but I could be wrong..

Many different places have used many different cars including Vipers to Escapes. I remember as a kid in Laconner WA, they had a fleet of LeCars when they were first imported.

Our old Pittctopmini club that I was a part of had one as a police car used for parades and DARE.

True, here in Milwaukee they still use a 98 Camaro SS as the highway car..I see it all the time but I just couldn't see a mini being outfitted with all the propper police equipment and being able to handle what's to be expected of a daily driver police car..
Most vehicles they use have outfitters for aftermarket police components and can order the vehicle from the factory bare bones for that .
A parade car is one thing but a patrol car is another.
