Seems like alot of depts are going with chargers. My city just got 2 2012 chargers, to add to the 2010 we already have. City next to me is decommishing the vics for new chargers also.
I was thinking the Taurus to as well as the explorers and chargers.
Metro police around Des Moines are going towards a Taurus based fleet however I've seen Chargers in Urbandale and Johnston as well as a Caprice in neighboring Dallas County, State Patrol are switching to Chargers though. Polk County also has a relatively new supervisor Explorer.
such bullsh**...... no other car car can replace the noblility and sense of presence the Crown vic had.
Police departments don't just want to replace their old and out dated CVPIs with new yet still out dated CVPIs, Police Departments are trying to upgrade to modern cars that are even better suited to police work then the vics. Personally I think all the options are good but I think the Caprice and Taurus will eventually take a majority of the market share. Originally Posted by TUN3R

However before chevy could finish the impala ford had made the new crown victoria which many agencies had already liked the earlier models. Police want a vehicle that is proven reliable and the charger has done that, the first charger versions had some complaints but dodge herd these and fixed them in the new version. Police need a fast, powerful big and reliable car that can keep up with todays issues. Most police officers have used the charger so it wont be that big of a change to them moving completely to the charger. My department here does not like the taurus because its too small.
