peakoil.com -> theautochannel.com :

Honda (UK) has secured Britain's biggest ever fleet deal for hybrid cars. The Metropolitan Police has ordered 117 Honda Civic Hybrids for its Community Support Officers to use as part of a Safer Neighbourhoods scheme. Officers will use the cars to travel from their operational bases to the start of their foot patrols.

Honda's petrol-electric Civic Hybrid was selected by the Metropolitan Police for its ease of use and strong environmental credentials. Leased through the Lex 'Emergency Services VT fleet', the cars are contracted for a two year, 24,000-mile period. The Civic Hybrid went on sale in the UK in April 2006.
