What do you think about the new Dodge police cars? The dealers hope to give Ford a run for their money on the Crown Vic. Apparently, the Chevy Impala is not a big hit with many departments. NYC plans to buy a fleet of the new Dodge cruisers, but the Conn. State Police have already said: "Thanks, but no thanks."

I'll stick with a CVPI anyday."Alright guys listen up, ya'll have probably heard this before, Jackson vs. Securiplex corporation; I am a private security officer, I have no State or governmental authority. I stand as an ordinary citizen. I have no right to; detain, interrogate or otherwise interfere with your personal property-... basically all that means is I'm a cop."-Officer Ernie

Agency I used to work for used the Impalas... They weren't BAD persay... but the power was almost identical to the CVPI, with a lot less interior room... The Dodge Intrepid that they tried to market as a PD vehicle was MUCH roomier than the Imp or CVPI, but was weak power-wise, and ended up with a lot of brake problems....
Personally, I'm a big-time Dodge guy, so it was great to see them getting back into the fray with the new Charger... Michigan just posted their results of the comparison tests a couple weeks ago, and with the exception of the 'ergonomics' portion, the Dodge vehicles blew all the other competition away... Even the v6 models had more power than the CVPIs... And amazingly enough, the HEMI models got BETTER mileage than the CVPIs that had engines almost a whole litre smaller.... Ahh, the wonders of modern technology...Corbier's Commandos - "Stickin it to the ninjas!"

I have not seen the new Dodge models. The police where I live recently made a partial switch to the Dodge Intrepid. My opinion of it is it's a piece of crap. They already have the front ends of them falling off and getting axles bent. The tires are low profile so the ride is rough and there isn't enough room inside the car."We appreciate all the hard work you've done, the dedicated hours you have worked, and the lives you have saved. However, since this is your third time being late to work, we are terminating your employment here."

Our local PD test drove a new Charger, and also said thanks, but no thanks.
Some of the reasons were:
-rear window 'hangs' over the back seat (higher risk for kick out)
-trunk opening to narrow to accomodate emergency kits which have already been purchased/made.
-all equipment such as barriers, door panels, window screens etc would have to be changed. (our PD re-uses everything they can).
THose were the major reasons, but included in the decision to NOT buy them was that they would have to stock seperate parts for the Dodge in the already over crowded parts dept. at the garage. (This shop does maintenance on all city owned vehicles.)
I do like the idea of some real competition for the Crown Victoria. Over the years I have seen the Crown Vic cheapened and cheapened.

Guys at O.com say that Ford won't stop production of the CVPI anytime soon, because the ICAP just keeps buying them up.
I do know, however, that if it wasn't for large fleet commitments by agencies and the Federal Government, the CV frame would of been axed long ago. Only people who want CV frames are the elderly, the moderately wealthy, and fleet customers.
The elderly are now driving Cadillacs. The moderately wealthy are now driving SUVs. And Fleet Customers are now driving CVPI and Expeditions.Some Kind of Commando Leader
