AI caption · Photo 0 of 5000

This is a scan of a black-and-white public service poster titled "NIGHTCAPS FOR THE HOLIDAYS." produced by the Metropolitan Police as a drunk-driving deterrence campaign for the holiday season. The poster's photograph shows two Metropolitan Police uniform caps with a pair of handcuffs displayed between them, playing on the double meaning of "nightcap" (a late-night drink versus a police officer's cap). The body copy warns that the "new nightcap in town" is "two parts cop and one part breathalyzer" and is "being served twenty-four hours a day, all over town," urging readers to enjoy the holidays but avoid drinking and driving. The tagline reads "ONE FOR THE ROAD COULD GET YOU TWO BEHIND BARS." The poster is signed off by Michael S. Dukakis, Governor, and William J. Geary, Commissioner, indicating it originates from Massachusetts state government during the Dukakis administration. Despite being filed in a 1991 Ford Crown Victoria vehicle gallery, the document contains no vehicle-specific technical information — no fuse data, wiring, part numbers, or service specifications. It is memorabilia/literature likely associated with police vehicle history rather than a repair or reference document for the vehicle itself.
