Photo: 2010 Dodge Charger Monroe Police Cruiser

by John Beagle

According to this week's Monroe Council agenda, there was a Consideration of Motion authorizing the expenditure of $62,500 for two 2011 Dodge Charger Police Cruisers. That motion was approved Tuedsay night by unanimous voice vote.

Here is my intereview with Monroe Police Chief Gregory Homer

John Beagle: How many cruisers do we have now? 

Chief Homer: We have 15 marked cruisers.  These include a canine car, a marked pick-up truck and a DARE/SRO car. We purchased two new 2011 Dodge Chargers and traded in two 2008 Ford Crown Vics. 

This is part of our ongoing maintenance/replacement program. 

Both these trade-in cars have in excess of 100,000 miles and probably a matching 100,000 in idle hours.

Beagle: Not much life left in old Monroe cruisers. What did you say their value at sale was?

Chief Homer: We negotiated for $2,605.00 each for trade-in, total trade of $5,210.00.

Which is pretty good for a used police car.

Projector Rentals Are Great for Business Meetings

Most business class projectors will do a good job displaying your PowerPoint presentation. If you have a small presentation group, a 2000 lumen LCD projector will be able to produce a nice and clear picture. For larger audiences you should consider a 5000 lumen LCD projector.
