Some question have been asked lately about the BFPD fleet and its status and history. We gladly respond to these questions as this is the purpose of this blog, to be informative and put out fact.
Fact:
BFPD has purchased 10 new police vehicles in the past two and a half years. Brand new units under 100 miles on each when delivered.
3 2007 Ford Crown Victoria's purchased with LEPF grant funds.
4 2008 Dodge Chargers purchased with a mix of Village funds, and police traffic safety funds.
3 2009 Dodge Chargers 1.5 purchased with a mix of Village funds, and police traffic safety funds, and 1.5 purchased with state legislative funds.
10 total
BFPD currently has 12 officers so this leaves only one Chevy Impala left in the field, and the Impala that the Chief purchased from the state police.
The 2001 Impala that the Chief purchased was low mileage only having 54,000 miles on it. The village paid 4,000 for it. The last time the Chief had to do this he purchased a similar Impala for 3,500 drove in for a year and a half and then sold it at the auction for 3,700. Being that the Chief has given up his 2008 unit, to drive the used Impala, there will be know need to paint, or decal the Impala as Chief's drive unmarked units. The Chief was fortunate enough to get the equipment needed for this Impala donated, and also used equipment out of a broken unit to build the used Impala.
In July BFPD should be able to purchase two more units to round out its fleet meaning that the oldest unit in the fleet would be a 2007 Ford.
Wow pretty amazing considering what this fleet was only seven short years ago.
