IMPD to drive Prius' and Volts??

[GodFearinGunTotin]

They have a camry now with lights and a smart car with lights. It's beyond stupid, but it won an award at the police fleet expo for most ridiculous police car or something.

I see why they put the lights on the passenger side...to counterbalance the officer.

I can't wait to go 10-39 up and down 30th st, sharing the road with my brilliant fellow motorists in a big rolling bomb filled with natural gas.

C'mon, you've always wanted someone to call you "da bomb"...

Before the merger in 2007 (I was on the MCSD) the Sheriff decided the department needed a couple of Waverunners to patrol Geist. I honestly thought my hot air balloon had a chance at that point but noOOoooo...

Well, if such a common sense requisition wasn't met then, I don't think that your department has it's priorities in order at all my good man.

I think they all should be in the all electric volts... what is it? 30 mile range...

I've requested a tactical hot air balloon but it hasn't been approved yet.

OK, but be carefull what you ask for...

OK, but be carefull what you ask for...

OMFG....I want one!

About 10 miles if they run lights and siren.

hmm... crown vic vs Prius in a head-on collision... which will drive away? Prius gets t-boned by a fleeing criminal vs. Crown vic gets t-boned, which car is giving pursuit?

I think the data showing how many high-speed car chases occurred in 2012 and how many chases were "called off" will show that an entire fleet of V8 gas guzzlers really isn't needed.

I've requested a tactical hot air balloon but it hasn't been approved yet.

Would that be powered by the mayor and public safety director?

Danville has a new caprice police vehicle. First one I've seen so far around here.
6.0 V8 355 HP it's rated at...

They seem to be driving anything they can get their hands on-especially on 37!
