Doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy knowing that they are using the tax money so conservatively? (I'm being very sarcastic of course) I'm sure that money could be used to offer better pay for the police officers, or something more valuable than a stupid, over priced SUV. The police department in my hometown has three Expeditions as well as Crown Vics for a population of 4500 people. Why do they need the big SUVs? What was wrong with the smaller, less expensive Explorers? I don't have a problem with people owning big SUVs, they can own as many as they want. I just have problems with the government using my tax money on this stuff. Talk about pork spending.
What brand of trucks would they get Dusty?

The city of Leawood(Extreamly well off community with alot of money to burn), wich is to the east of Overland Park where I live has a black Escalade. Its black with all blacked out windows, no markings at all with strobes inside the corners and such. Well what they do is sit along the side of the road with their hazards on I-435 and everyone just speeds on by and goes "haha stupid rich F&*K" untill he wips out with all his lights on and your getting a big assed fine for whatever. Overland Park has mostly crown vics, but their traffic unit however is mostly Silverados and 2000-04 model Taruses. The Kansas State troopers use fully built Mustang GTs. The Escalade I think though really takes the cake.

I dunno, we had a Jeep Cherokee before and had lots of problems with it. I assume they'll go with the lowest bidder that offers a "police package".....

cops use so many different car/trucks/and/suvs out here it is hard to keep track. i just hope you like what you get. our campus "police" uses trackers.
yeah our campus police aren't real police, they are more like security guards then police. we are a small private school. big schools like Wayne state has its own unit of the Detroit police department.

My university used security guards about 20 years ago but found them too unreliable so they switched to real cops.....

My problem with the police departments having the largest SUVs is not only the high cost but the safety issue. In my hometown, the police was chasing after some moron who was vandalizing the park with his car. The police were doing a high speed chase and one of them was driving an Expedition at 90 mph and hit a innocent bystander in an Intrepid, who was not doing anything illegal, and killed her. The police officer who was driving the Expedition was either an intern or new to the department and had no business driving the biggest vehicle let alone any vehicle until she has more experience. If she would have been driving an Explorer, Cherokee, Intrepid, Impala, or Crown Vic the woman in the Intrepid might have survived.
