WeldfabNeil Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 I fully support all emergency services personal but can't help question some decisions higher up. These men an women are putting themselves at risk to help us. Don't they deserve proper Equipment? I know awd is more expensive but lives are at stake. That's just my two cents 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 We are on our last crown Vic. We have two Impalas that I think will be our last. Also have a Tahoe and a Silverado for squad cars. I think our experiment with cars is over. Every other department in the county has explorers. I think we are getting more trucks or Tahoe's when the cars get replaced. The Vic isn't the most nimble in winter. Usually park and sit unless I have to move when it gets that bad.

Just need to add a beefy grill, engine upgrades, some lights, a siren, and a fancy police car paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
