    Default First! JCSO first LE agency in CO with hot new rides!

    So a little background, despite some of my criticisms of their methods (mostly just the rookies up in Evergreen), my family has been good friends with Sheriff Ted Mink for a very long time. Well I think he's done a pretty decent job since he took over from Stone way back when... and this next case is no different. For those that live in the jurisdiction, you may or may not have seen the new Ford Interceptors cruising around. Well, in the words of the little girl from Close Encounters "They're here!"

    This is a stock photo of the car, granted JCSO has their paint job on them, but same car. It was just reported in this week's Canyon Courier (the Evergreen weekly newspaper), Jeffco bought 20 of them and will be phasing out their Crown Vics to be replaced with these slightly more expensive, but more economic, safe, and enhanced cars as they retire the old fleet.

    Gear-heads, keep reading, this is where the cool part comes in...

    It's equipped with a 3.5L twin turbo V6 that produces 365BHP and gets 2MPG better than the crown vic. It's also equipped with a rear-view safety reverse camera, reverse-sensing radar, blind spot detection, active suspension control, computerized throttle, and is the only car that tested and passed the 75MPH rear end crash test.

    All in all, I say a good new purchase to make our LEOs safer, and better equipped. Expect the rest of the Metro Area LE Agencies to start jumping on this trend by end of next year.

    Actually, these are only $4,000 more than what it costs for the Crown Vic, but looking at the figures they're 3x the car with a little better fuel economy. Plus they're not just outright replacing the whole fleet, these are going in when they retire those on the fleet that are due to be taken out of service.

    Ok, starting to get fed up, what the fuck is your problem? Are you just that bored, lonely, or douchey that you have to interject with these slanderous comments that either try to cut me down, insult me, or just get a rise? Seriously, go have an accident with a power tool if you really can't contribute in a more constructive way. I'm really thinking about adding you to the ignore list, it seems like most of your comments aren't really driving conversations forward.

    Slanderous? Are you going to start a civil suit or something?

    You are just a whiny, attention-whoring, diarrhea-of-the-mouth (or fingers as it were) type of individual. The fact that you get really upset about it but yet don't correct it, is what makes it amusing.
    Keep Calm and Carry.

    Slanderous- to insult, demean, degrade...etc. Not just legal speak.

    How is this any of the insults you just said? I figure since we have LEOs in our community, and an interest in LE activity here I would share what one of our agencies is up to that I thought was kinda neat. What is there to correct? Oh wait, that's right, why am I even wasting my time with you, IGNORE.

    That's because Brighton has that big nasty looking "POLICE" sticker on their car.... Just like the one in the picture.
