Okay, limited duty, but it's still out there earning its keep:

It was the SSP Mustangs that convince me to buy my first Fox, I figured if the cops are using them to chase down the speeders than it has to be a fast car.

I’ve only every seen one active duty SSP, out west in Alberta, late 90’s.
Such a cool car.

Back in the early 90s I was driving my Fox up through Michigan on I75 cruising along about 70MPH when I see a familiar set of headlights in my rear view mirror. First thought, this is going to be fun. Second thought, don't the Michigan State Troopers run Foxes on the highway? Thank the sweet baby Jesus for the second thought because it was a trooper. I waved as he went by, but he did't return the gesture.

Were these used in Ontario? Quick google search suggests no.

They had them in Windsor but they weren’t marked, but yes, white Fox Mustangs LXs, guys around here called them Casper, not sure how many we had.
Later on, the Windsor cops ended up with a couple catfish Camaros, one was wrecked during a roadside stop, and they now have a couple Transformer Camaros as well, one dark Blue and one Grey, just like the catfish cars.

Been pulled over by one in Myrtle Beach while driving my '89 notch (no ticket, pulled me over because it was 11pm and my father-in-law who I was following was lost and going too slow).

The Transformer Camaro got wrecked roadside. The one catfish got pulled out of service after officers couldn't stop getting in to pursuits involving bikes with unmarked units.

Didn’t the Toronto Police Department have an IROC that patrolled the DVP back in the early 90s?

That Camaro which looked like a cop car, was actually one of those traffic ticket fighting advertisement cars.

Peel used to have one, but i think it was a car they confiscated sounded supercharged too.
