The police cruiser is one of the physical representations of the town. As long as we are budgeting for marked police cars, they might as well present an attractive image.
The reason people care about what the police cars look like is because, among other things, we pay for the markings. As long as we are paying for a dressed up police car, it might as well look good.
Besides, if we didn’t care what they looked like we would order white cars and stencil RPD on the doors. If we didn’t care what they looked like we would not wash them or repair them when they got into accidents only causing cosmetic damage.
Ignoring these maintenance items do not impact response time, so why wash or repair them?
Also the police cruiser is one of the physical representations of the town. As long as we are budgeting for marked police cars, they might as well present an attractive image.
All I heard is that the village manager picked out the new design for the cars( with much anger by the file and rank). Admit it , they look like Orca the Whale. A laughing stock of neighboring towns. Again a joke by our joke manager.Black and white. That’s a police force. Sorry Keith didn’t make it , he was for the people.
maybe they can put the yellow smiley faces on the cars too
