JPD Takes Delivery of New Cars

On Tuesday morning at , Police Chief Richard Tamburini provided Mayor Joseph Polisena with a tour of one of the department's new cruisers, a custom-built 2012 Ford Police Interceptor.

Aside from being more fuel-efficient because of their V-6 engines (older cars had V-8s), the new cruisers have also been constructed to "handle police work," Tamburini explained.

The new vehicles also boast all-wheel drive for better handling in winter conditions.

Once they're outfitted with laptop brackets and other final touches, the new cars will go into service.
