City to Purchase Two New Police Cars

The city council approved a contract for the purchase of two new police vehicles to be added to the fleet of the Hoboken Police Department. 

The contract is for $57,321.50 for the two cars. 

The money will be coming out of the 2011 budget, because the contract was entered into before the new year. 

"We regularly replace older cars in the fleet," said Public Safety Director John Tooke on Wednesday. Two old vehicles will no longer be used after the new cars will have been purchased.
