The traditional bobby on his bike looks set to be replaced by knight rider style police cars, as British coppers go high-tech in their battle against crime.

Kent Police are to equip their latest fleet of Volvo T5 squad cars with high-tech crime fighting tools.

The cars will come equipped with voice-activated lights and sirens, internet access, and fingerprint and facial recognition software. They will also be able to send and receive text messages.

"We have pioneered intelligence-led policing. It will ensure we are in the best possible position to gather and exploit evidence, enabling us to target and arrest criminals," said Chief Inspector Paul Brandon, of Kent County Constabulary.
