Sorry, little well-deserved rant from a law enforcement officer on behalf of all of us out there. Oh, not to mention the job we perform for well below what we deserve... Please don't mistake this as a defense for police corruption though. I know it's out there, and I see it even in my own agency in ways, although not necessarily financial...

All that aside, very nice cruiser. I certainly wouldn't mind having that for mine.

1) That's a waste of tax payer money to get the 21's which will actually slow the car down. I have no problem with Mustang and Camaro Police vehicles. But c'mon, paying for halos, painted roof trim and custom wheels. That's some beaurcrat spending someone elses money! They are going to put all kinds of light on the car anyway.

2) You volunteer to go to the movies that support the actors life style. Taxes are not voluntary. That's a lame argument.

3) I have high regard for the job, but you choose that line of work. Buy your own Camaro. That is irresponsible government!

I was also told officers would have to be "retrained" to FWD cars...True, but thats a certification that takes place yearly here, and is not an issue. I was then told another community had to put three transmissions in their impalas. Well, since we service them, I checked on that statement...they did...back in 2001 - and now there is 5yr/100K even on police cars. We've had no issues with serviced impala's 2006 and newer. A former police chief that works as a driver for us said yes, but we also replaced an engine in a crown vic a year ago for another community.

They said the impala wasn't comfortable enough, even though communities across the USA are using them.

I ended the argument that I thought it was our responsibility as elected officials to spend less tax money, and take the lowest bid - thus the whole purpose for the bidding process.

I said next year, since we're buying for COMFORT and NOT PRICE, we should just give the bids to the nearest Cadillac dealer and go all out.

I sat on the advisory board up in NYC for a few years, what we also looked at was downtime and PM time. The Impala's were terrible. We did 80% of the warranty work etc. The lost hours for downtime was added to the cost of the car and the crown vics were a much better value at the time.

still odd that there's plastic on the seats though....

What are the chances they paid MSRP. I also call the BS card on impound. If it were they would sell it at auction. This is ridiculous over spending by a police force that will soon end up on the "News at 11" by some douche reporter. Police deserve quality comfortable cars but a new loaded camaro that isn't unmarked is BS. If it was unmarked and used to goat people into street racing I could understand, but come on you all know this is way outside the fine gray line of acceptability.

But hey good for them.

[mstrfdsstr]

hopefully he wants a race so i can take him to school!

Tag's probably so jealous right now.

[xA13x]

im from canada and we hae rcmp so if this camaro pulls some one over do they like put them in the back seaat if there under arrest?

[DF454]

That car also has no new car inspection sticker in the windshield. In your pic you blacked out the rear plate. Did it have an actual plate or a temp tag?
