Finally, I agree with a cop. This is such a waste of money. The Mayor's been crowing about how we're in this terrifying fiscal crisis but we're shilling out for a new fleet? The fuck for?

I’d imagine they upgrade the vehicles when they hit a certain amount of miles/age. I dont think they replace the entire fleet at a single given time.

Nope they leave those things until they literally die. Ive driven cars that billowed smoke and was told they were fine

Yeah, they also get some of the money back by auctioning off police cars. Someone will buy a gutted police car just for the engine build. I actually don’t know if they do it anymore though.
