<br />- <br /> <br />1996 VEHICLE OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE <br /> <br />In February of 1996, two (2) new Ford Crown Victoria squad cars were obtained VIA a leasing program. <br />It is our belief that by leasing our fleet, we can avoid significant annual capital outlays. While at the same <br />time maintaining a quality fleet. These new squad cars replaced the two high mileage Ford Crown <br />Victoria squad cars. These new squad cars were designated P-3 and P-5. One of the squads, P-5 is a fully <br />marked squad car with a light bar. The other new car, P-3 is a fully marked squad car without the light <br />bar, "clean top". <br /> <br />In March of 1996, we purchased a 1996 Ford Windstar Mini Van. This van was purchased VIA donated <br />funds and will be used primarily by the CSO. It is a fully marked unit with Amber lights and siren. <br /> <br />In December of 1996, this department was fortunate in obtaining a retired United States Government <br />vehicle at no cost to this department. This vehicle, 1990 Chevrolet Corsica 4 door has been assigned to <br />replace the 1987 Dodge Omni currently used by the investigator. <br /> <br />In 1996, this department began assigning vehicles to individual officers. This new program usually <br />consists of 2 officers per vehicles. This enhances ownership as well as accountability of our vehicles. <br />Vehicle assignments are as follows: <br /> <br />*P-1 1995 Chevrolet Caprice-Assigned to "A" shift and "D+" <br /> <br />P-2 1994 Chevrolet S-l 0 4X4 Blazer-Assigned to special details-adverse weather <br /> <br />P-3 1996 Ford Crown Victoria-Assigned to "E/ A" shift and "D+/C" <br /> <br />P-4 1995 Chevrolet Caprice-Assigned to "E" shift and "D/B" <br /> <br />*P-5 1996 Ford Crown Victoria-Assigned to "C" shift and "B" <br /> <br />P-6 1990 Chevrolet Corsica-Assigned to Investigations <br /> <br />P-7 1996 Ford Windstar Mini Van-Assigned to the CSO and special details <br /> <br />*Sgt. Makela shared these two vehicles 3 days each during his shifts <br /> <br />In 1996, a total of 171,100 miles were driven by our fleet. During the same period in 1995, we drove <br />145,700. This increase in miles over 1995 is due to many factors: <br /> <br />1) An increase in fleet size, P-7 was added. <br />2) P-7 was driven to Arizona with the explorers <br />3) Mileage in the Investigators vehicle increased <br />4) Officer Guy offFTO and on his own <br /> <br />No Major expenses were incurred during 1996 involving our squad cars. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Officer Todd Gleason <br />Fleet Maintenance Officer <br />
