Why is that a bad choice?
In small streets they would be more efficient in a smart than in a Ford Crown Victoria
I believe that there are many more "useful" cars, rather than a Smart or a Twizy for example, just to remain in Ischia:
For example, I think a Fiat Panda is more advisable for the local police, because at least has 5 seats and has more internal space (and perhaps even cost less). In my opinion a Smart is just a waste of money for this job.
Ferrara. BTW the local police here have really strange cars to find in police use like a 90's Fiat Cinquecento, a Skoda Fabia Combi, a Renault Scenic 2, an Opel Corsa [B] and a lot of more that I don't remember or I've not seen
Indeed who has decided what cars to buy, doesn't had ideas more clear than me.
