Patrol vehicles, what do you get to drive?

[JB diligence]

OK OK...

We got unfit S/O's, unfit Cops, unfit this, that and the other unfit things!!! Fact is that there are unfit people all over but some how becomes a big deal.

Let's face it, in just about every occupation, there are unfit people (aside from athleates, minus Sumo wrestlers, who in their own right may infact be fit, contrary to our beliefs of fitness), some are going to exploit that to make them look bad or whatever the intent is.

Can we just knock it off with the S/O vs LEO bashing crap, it's getting kinda silly.

Everytime I see a cop on a Segway they are a tub of crap. They should mandate foot patrol for over weight officers.

Segway is a great tool for mobility. As the picture above shows, it's also a great conversation starter for police & public.

I AGREE!

Regardless which role you play LEO or Security establishing rapport with client(s), the public or whoever, having that basic rapport is the best way to gain trust, cooperation and deter problems by establishing that you too are a person to not just some 'figure'. If you happen to have a conversation starter to get the ball rolling, all the better.

I wonder how high the CDI factor is (Chicks Dig It factor) is with those...

Any of the following which are in our fleet:

A few Ford Explorers
A fewChevy Trailblazers
A couple Chevy Tahoes
A few Ford Expeditions

All with lightbars. A mix of LED lightbars, vector halogen lightbars, and edge strobe lightbars.

We have a Ford too!

Take home or shift car? I've noticed that if your agency is smart enough to issue take homes, you'll get alot more service out of em. For a 2000 CVPI to have 95,000 miles on it, with a police agency, is incredible. Give me the days of the Caprice Classic when they started falling apart after 300,000.

We are driving a 2004 Ford Escape which has 117,500 miles on it. This one has been around the block. It transfered in from another site. I think the warranty expired a while ago.

I drive a real nice 2005 Ford Ranger while on patrol. Only complaint is....IT'S MINE!

[souperdave]

I get to sport a nice pair of blacked sueded NIKEs......the big boss won't let me bring my Blazer into the store.

Although the store's plenty big enough to drive around in.......except for the escalators.

That just happens to be how I got a Towncar for my patrol vehicle (albeit a 1995 Towncar)
