Also, sometimes there is federal grant money for special purpose vehicles. I think about all of the tricked out RV/Tactical command posts that sit in some fleet maintenance or jail parking lot.

You all are just jealous of the po-po's slick whip [ROFL1]

Still a waste of taxpayer money, local or federal.

Sorry, I love seeing spelling errors and turning them funny like this! [Tooth]

The purpose of this is to spend free taxpayer money toward something that is an absolute waste of money. All this at the same time they complain they need more money to fund their department.

These vehicles have their uses. The one used for my jurisdictional area has been used at least twice that I know of and has taken fire while rescuing police officers. Also a government grant and has to be shared with mutual aid jurisdictions.

Yep... if I recall correctly they waited for the dealer to get some work done to the car and snagged him as he was pulling away. No tax dollars in that car just a good acquisition

I thought the newer CSP bikes were the Kawi's?
