It must be a nightmare to drive around in that car, because everyone will keep slowing down to 5 under the speed limit in front of you wherever you go.

Can yall please supercharge it, and keep the AWD

Appreciate the trooper being so real and honest. Kudos to the Colorado patrol. Keep it up. Thanks.

Retired cop car laws vary from state to state.
Check your local laws and your local lawyers.

I bought a police BMW motorcycle from Gwenette County Georgia years ago. I too spoke with the county shop/garage manager and they were straight forward with the maintenance and the maintenance records were detailed.

Retired city cop, put a lot of miles on the last gen Charger. We had the 3.6 in our cruisers, which had decent power. Loved the brakes, never had a fading problem on the Charger unlike the Impalas we had previously. Overall all they were a good car, thanks for the video!

Secure lock is because they keep them running when they are not in them. So it is to try to prevent someone from jumping in and taking off

Fun fact. In some states is's actually legal to have the red and blue lights on it as long as they're only activated on private property (i.e. you own property, car shows where the car is parked in a private lot, filming on a closed course, etc.) I've seen retired police cars in my area with full reds and blues setup in a way that there is a disconnect in the trunk that will power the system down so you can't accidently turn them on while driving on public roads.

In Indiana Green lights are volunteer EMTs responding to a medical scene, Blue lights are Volunteer Firefighters responding to the fire station. Electronic air horns are allowed as well, and most Firefighters will use red, and even red/amber, or blue/amber to the rear.

If you want the horn to beep and lights to flash when you lock and unlock the doors you can change the settings in the U-connect screen under settings.

The trailer hitch might also be for moving around those little speed limit radar readout trailers.

I miss bench seats and column shift. The ability to get into the car from either door is very helpful when having to park close to a wall or if someone parks too close to you.

I know the earlier Dodge police 5.7 Hemi's had an additional oil cooler over a stock 5.7. I installed one on my 05 Magnum RT.

2010 crown Victoria p71 city patrol unit.
Had roughly around 145xx miles .
Best car I bought.

I agree Tommy...the column shifter seems way better

Search light is installed at the factory if the model requires it. Also another difference would be the rear seats dont fold down in a 60/40 split like the civilian one would

Old taxi cabs would often have the exact same style of spot light to be able to read the addresses on mail boxes at night so they wouldn't miss their fare's pick up/drop off. You know, way back before even mapquest was a thing let alone consumer gps.

The 8sp is quite a bit longer than the 5sp. Once you add a transfercase behind it, its now too long to fit in the car. This is actually the reason the JK Wrangler never got the 8sp. They wanted to switch it to the 8sp in 2012, but it physically would not fit in the 2dr Wranglers. Which is why the JL is longer than the JK.

Timmy, the only thing that I would recommend you do on that car is switch over your Engine oil, Transmission fluid and gear fluid to a higher quality oil (Something like Royal Purple), as well as a Royal Purple engine oil filter. The 5.7L HEMI seems to like Royal Purple (no, I'm not affiliated with Royal Purple, but when I switched my 2006 300C to Royal Purple, I noticed the difference... and no issues with the _"HEMI tick"_ that some folks complained about.
The Royal Purple oil filter is probably the best you can get without going to racing grade. It's a high flow filter, which you can use much longer than a regular oil filter. So, you extend your oil changes.

In 1994 I worked @ Ray Price Harley in Raleigh NC and rewired and made a 1950 Highway Patrol Bike. It had everything working order, but it was definitely headed to display someplace.
