Police Department News

One of our Ford Crown Victoria marked police cruisers outside the main entrance on Park Street.

The department uses Ford Crown Victoria marked patrol vehicles and recently began a changeover from white marked patrol vehicles to black and white vehicles such as the one pictured here (bedecked with flags for our 4^th of July celebration). Unmarked cruisers are also utilized. In addition, a special-duty 4WD Jeep and a Ford utility van, used by the Traffic bureau, round out the fleet.
