Why didn't the vehicles come with lights already installed on them? Why isn't the county buying vehicles from the state sheriff's contract? GSA and ITSD all have their hand in some kind of surcharge added to the cost of these vehicles. The vehicles don't come equipped because that Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37248244.post-58611379037967151622016-02-06T08:22:29.454-05:002016-02-06T08:22:29.454-05:00Btw those cars are leased monthly as they sit unus...Btw those cars are leased monthly as they sit unused.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37248244.post-28522754390846356062016-02-06T08:21:27.691-05:002016-02-06T08:21:27.691-05:00Inside sources have said that the decals they boug...Inside sources have said that the decals they bought are defective.

If they are not clean, a supervisor needs to be checking the condition. I will guarantee you if you drive a car that hauls prisoners you are going to clean it.

This is part of a process to replace aging vehicles for our MDPD officers to stay safe and keep our community safe.
