9C1 is Chevrolet's Special Equipment Options (SEO) code for a police package vehicle. The 9C1 package has heavier-duty (HD) features over a non-police vehicle as well as some options specific to the installation of police equipment. The Chevrolet Nova, Malibu, Caprice, Impala, Tahoe, and Camaro have all been available with Police Package options. Some of the models are designated by different SEO codes, such as B4C for the Camaro Police vehicle.

HD features include heavier-gauge full perimeter frame; oversized front and rear sway bars; full-size spare tire (in the case of the last-generation 1994-96 Caprice Classic police car); high-output alternator; lifetime-rated green silicone coolant hoses; four-wheel disc brakes; HD steel wheels and speed-rated tires; separate engine, power steering and transmission oil coolers; certified digital speedometer; true dual exhaust; anti-stab steel plates in the front seat backs; performance 3.08 final drive ratio (3.23 w/std. 200 hp/245ft·lbf L99 V8 4.3L(265ci) SFI engine); and extra wiring for the emergency equipment. The 260 hp/330ft·lbf cast-iron-head, Sequential-multiport fuel-injected, reverse-cooled, Corvette-derived LT1 5.7L(350ci) V8 was a popular option for these final years and helped make the '94-'96 9C1 Chevrolet Caprice Classic one of the best-regarded police cars in US history.
