I was surprised no one posted them earlier. They've been on the road like 2 weeks now

I saw it from the outside, I'm a police credit union member, I so whenever I go there I glance at how gov't money is wasted in keeping the A/C running with the engine on, to some officer's new fridge being loaded unto a police truck for personal delivery.

I really don't understand the rationalization of these decision makers, so parts for these vehicles, local mechanics competence on these are not taken into consideration? I swear these decisions are made by a group of monkeys. I mean the decision to lease a light aircraft, lease costing 10 time more than the actual cost to this???!! They need to fire the decision makers in the Police service

Apparently re-training isn't an option if feasible?

Sure not like your uncle's old Commodore

But they are just simple american cars, any Chevy mechanic can tinker with it, most of the parts can come from Miami, as opposed to Japan

civic minded · Postby **civic minded** » February 27th, 2012, 9:12 am

Yes but all those things have to factor into the cost. Won't it be easier to buy cars that the mechanics in vemmcot are familiar with? Like the restocking the current fleet of Mazda 6 ??

Habit7 · Postby **Habit7** » February 27th, 2012, 9:51 am

The Mazda 6 are not purpose built police cars, they were just given to the police after the Summit was over and who's true purpose was to chauffeur VIPs. We once had purpose built Opel Astras but they never keep bringing them in. In fact they sold some used ones to the public.

Not sure why, but the Camry's were my favourite in the Police colours although that was a couple years back.

:oops:

These vehicles have a longer service interval, and i mean longer.
They've actually been out a while, took one through it's paces since around xmas last year.

Nice vehicles, purpose built too for policing.

Expect to see a lot in the Central division, a lot was issued there due to the 21st Century Policing Initiative.

i think we may be the only country that has so many variants of police vehicles. I personally think the Ford Taurus ( the set that came to trinidad years ago) was a good police vehicle, Install a roll bar on them and teach the cops to do pit manoeuvres rather than chasing down the bandits and spray the car.

sMASH · Postby **sMASH** » February 27th, 2012, 3:53 pm

after seeing this i wanted one meh self (dunno how i woulda get one though)....

(pay attention @ 1:53 and 5:55)

civic minded · Postby **civic minded** » February 27th, 2012, 7:32 pm

which company is contracted to bring in the holdens for the police?

Trini Hookah · Postby **Trini Hookah** » February 27th, 2012, 7:41 pm

That Taurus is bulky and certainly outdated although it was a good ride in it's time (we owned one and it was long as fck). Bringing that back would be pointless.

Unless you mean the 2012 Taurus :wink:

Coming from the man that never thought re-training mechanics to be a possibility, carry on.

anyways, on another note:

looks good in my book.

VMCOTT, and it would make sense since they seemed to have stopped fixin those that already on the road, so they might as well just be the contracting agency for the TTPS and done.

They really need more purpose built police cars, these VIP Summit vehicles with sirens cant take a good beating.

LADA, perhaps?
