standard marked and unmarked Ford Police Interceptors make up most of the fleet:

I like those graphics!

Pick up trucks are used because they're "small" and therefore "fuel efficient."

Pickups are small? I drive an F-150 for patrol...not quite small when you look at CVPI and Impala...

Previously, I've been assigned F-150's and F-250's. I've been downsized.... But, truth be told? The CHEVY Colorado isn't a bad duty rig. --K.

Thanks. And, yes, something like that. We provide critical infrastructure protection for the municipal water supply (which is a regional service), so, we work a large area and I'm usually patrolling areas outside of the city. --K.

We also added an '05 Nissan Frontier extended cab. Nice little truck. Roomier than I thought...and it has enough spaces to store my FAK, extra gear, reports and everything in the nifty little widget pockets...

I love Michigan State police their car look vintage with the big red gumball light on the roof and the decal on the door . I always think that a police car or a security car dont need to have a lot of decal and stripe to be beautiful only the essantial . Less is beautiful

When I started patrol in 1979, our squads had nice simple markings, with "Midwest Patrol" on the fenders and trunk lid, and our beloved "buzzard" on the doors.
We had 1978 Plymouth Furys with 400 V-8's when I started driving. Then we switched to Plymouth Volare's with 383 V-8's in 1980. Then they went temporarily insane and put us in 1982 Reliants with 4 cylinder engines. Yech! At least our current impalas have V-6's!
The picture is me in the spring of 1981 with a 1980 Volare.

The Chicken Hawk!
(That's what we called it when I worked there in the mid nineties. At least the folks I worked with.)

I believe there is a photo of the impala floating around somewhere on the forums.

[Badge714]

I believe I posted picture of the Impala and our Dodge pickup on this thread. You might have to look back a ways though.
