Police Cars Go Rainbow For Pride Celebration, Cops Serve And Protect In Style

Stop in the name of love!

These cops are fabulous!

For Brighton Pride last weekend, the Sussex police department got in the spirit by giving their service vehicles a full rainbow makeover.

About 160,000 people took to the streets of the southeast England city on Saturday for their 25th Pride parade, BBC reported, described by Brighton Pride director Paul Kemp as "a celebration [that] brings in a lot of people from all over the world." This year's event was especially exciting because of its 25th anniversary and a new parade route that went along the city's seafront.

During the colorful parade, the Sussex police department encouraged people to take pictures with the decorated vehicles.

Though they certainly provided terrific photo ops, the Sussex police -- above all --provided safety and support.

"This was an excellent opportunity to show our continued steadfast support for LGBT communities," the department wrote on their Facebook page. "Pride is one of the biggest events that takes place in Brighton and Hove each year and Sussex Police play a large role in policing the event and ensuring that those attending are kept safe."

Leading up to Saturday's festivities, the Sussex police issued safety tips for the celebration, and during the parade, set up a booth staffed by officers giving out goodies.

This police squad is something to be proud of!
