The Ridgewood Police Department (RPD) has moved two older cruisers out of primary use and slotted five new police cars into its patrol rotation. Several delays, including problems with purchase orders, postponed the unveiling of the new cars, but the black and white vehicles finally hit village streets in mid-May.
According to Police Chief John Ward, the new cars are equipped with emergency lights, sirens and radios and medical bags, but only three have been installed with proper computers and other advanced electronics. The department has received the computers and mounts for the remaining two cars, but installation of the equipment had not occurred as of Wednesday.
A delay in physically rolling out a new emergency vehicle is not uncommon for a police department, Ward said. A lot of lead time is involved, he said, suggesting that weeks can pass before equipment is installed.

No uglier than many other police cars in the area.
it is a bit better then the old shit.I don,t know why they went with the old cars.they should of got the new s u v ,s these cars suck in the snow.
The cars look fine. One thing I have noticed though. At night when headlights shine on the side of the police cars you can not see any of the graffics. The side of the car goes blank. Must be something to do with the reflective graphics. Could be a safety issue.
They’re ugly.
It’s done.
Move on.
