Possible New Police Cruisers?

[Regulator75]

Calgary police unveiled a Dodge Charger prototype with black and white colours Thursday as the next potential vehicle to stock its future fleet.

The Ford Crown Victoria cars traditionally used by police are not being produced any longer and so Calgary police are trying out the Charger, a Ford Taurus and possibly a GM model to see which vehicle best suits the force's needs.

The department says the switch will improve officer and public safety as well as save money.

Based on pricing for the Chargers, and the reduced cost of the proposed decaling, the move could save the Calgary Police Service more than $1 million.

That looks awesome.

Only problem is if you get arrested they have to put you in the trunk.

Edit: I was joking, should have used green text I guess.

Pretty sure those are 4 door, not 2.

I've always wondered, does the CPS' entire fleet, vans and trucks aside, need to be rapid response vehicles? Without a doubt, we could save a fair bit on capital and operational expenditures if a portion of the fleet were compact vehicles.

Actually, criminals have had it pretty gravy sitting in the back of those crown vics all these years.

Those looks pretty great to me.

What hooker could resist them now?!

We have had the chargers in the CPS fleet pretty well since they came out, just limited in number, I must say they are pretty nice, the Back seats are now moulded plastic with a drain at the bottom for when you need to hose out undesired leftovers......

That looks friggin boss.

About time they brought back the black and whites I am getting pretty sick of breaking for security guards, train cops, transport cops. alarm companies and an energy company.

[-TC-]

we have them here too...Edmonton is moving to the black and white as well, I like it, it looks like a real police car

[flamesfan6]

Victoria has a fair bit of the black and white colours, they look far better than the traditional

In the UK they always had small cars to save money for parking enforcement etc

I look forward to newscasts or something where the phrase "the cps rolled 3 black and whites"

Anything that make's an emergency vehicle easier to see/distinguish is alright by me. Like how they made the fire engines red again.

[RedMileDJ]

I like the new look. I can finally get arrested in STYLE!
