The visual identity of the Leonard County Sheriff is heavily based on its real-life counterpart, the Broward County Sheriff's Office in Florida1. The vehicle livery features a distinct green and white color scheme. The patrol vehicle seen in promotional material is a 4-door police SUV, which appears to be modeled on the Ford Police Interceptor Utility.
