\"\"<\/a>No, I’m not getting my Crown Vic back.\u00a0 I am accepting an assignment in the Detective Bureau, overseeing Burglary\/Pawn, Auto Theft, and Economic\/Cyber Crimes.\u00a0 It has been four years since I left DB for another stint on the street.\u00a0 I will miss the K9 Unit, but this is an opportunity I did not think would come around.<\/p>\n

Later in the week, I will hand over the keys and fobs for this 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicle (PPV) to another sergeant.\u00a0 I hope she enjoys it as much as my aging back did.\u00a0 The upright seating and roominess alleviated the need for NSAIDs for the little while that I had it.<\/p>\n

I thought the platform was stable at speed, very maneuverable, and not as truck-like as I would have thought.\u00a0 The 2 wheel drive PPV got at least<\/em> one high rate “blue light special” run (you guess the speed) while I was at the helm.\u00a0 I was impressed.<\/p>\n

With the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor on the\u00a0endangered<\/del> soon-to-be-extinct species list, I think this police SUV will help pick up the slack.\u00a0 With a generally comparable price and mileage, and a higher resale value than a Vic, it is a smart choice.\u00a0 I think the larger truck is also safer for the officer\/deputy.<\/p>\n

So, just as the Chevy was winning me over with its talents, I will be relegated to a…Camry.\u00a0 Dang it.<\/p>\n
