The most widely used piece of Oregon police car equipment is the radar gun which is used to measure the speed of a vehicle. They work by sending out a Doppler radar signal to a moving vehicle. The vehicle reflects the radar back to the gun where a simple mathematical formula is performed inside the gun accurately displaying the speed of the vehicle targeted, whether or not the receiving radar gun is in motion as well or not.

Sirens and lights are standard Oregon police car equipment, although some undercover cars have them hidden in the engine grill, or high inside the back window. Often the antennas on these cars are hidden as well making them appear like regular civilian models instead of cop cars. This is mostly used for traffic police, as it has been proven that people will slow down in the presence of a marked police vehicle, then continue speeding when the car is gone. There is no standard siren sound, but often multiple sounds are cycled through to prevent accidents when multiple emergency vehicles are approaching the same area, and to help unaware motorists notice.

In-car video systems are now a required piece of Oregon police car equipment. An in-car video system records everything that happen outside the front window of a patrol car and has been invaluable in resolving disputes over police actions. A camera cannot lie, so it provides an excellent tool for prosecutors and defense attorneys alike, and protects both police officers and civilians. Drunkenness and dangerous driving can be shown on camera taking the doubt out of personal testimony.
