Since he was promoted to Captain one of his duties is fleet management. They are going to buy the first of these type vehicles tomorrow. After purchase they expect to spend about 12k more to trick it out and custom paint the theme they use. Hope they work out because they ain't cheap.

They've been in use here for some time, very versatile...Most of them get used by supervisors although some are assigned to patrol also...I have a friend who serves as one of the mental health deputies...He drives one most days, but he also has an MB Sprinter van when he has a stack of warrants...:cop:...Ben
Ha, yes one is going to the Chief and one to my son. The cruisers are Dodge Chargers.Quote:

I completely agree and stated my opinion as such. My son agrees in principal but according to him that is the way the chief rolls and he has only been captain a few weeks. Luckily the fleet is fairly new with the oldest charger around 2 years and nothing with over 70k on the odo.Quote:

Small department in a City flush with cash. We have Honda here so everything has to be first class. They have 18 charger cruisers, four explorers, one Dodge Ram 4x4 and the soon to be added Tahoe's. They have about 6 utility cruisers if needed. They are mostly ragged out.
I think the Tahoes are a top pick. I'd have wanted one as an agent.
At 6'4", there's just not enough room for me in most vehicles - except trucks.
