Illinois

Good thing it doesn't snow. Rear wheel drive will come in handy with all of the speeding tractors.

What a waste of horsepower (excuse the pun) when the highest speed limit is 25MPH. I think a moped or Yugo would be more than sufficient. I guess the chief can get from stop sign to stop sign quickly though. All in all, it is a very nice looking car, and even more so for the price!

Sure will look sharp for chasing those high speed chases on tractors or when the cows get loose.

"...and the police department is RAN by Barney and Andy..."

Since you can't spell, you probably can't read either. But I'll ask anyway:

So where do you fit into the Pingree picture? Did you lose the race for mayor to the toothless guy or did you get ticketed by Barney?

Its a smaller town west of Chicago. The mayor is a toothless hick, and the police department is ran by Barney and Andy. The only thing this town has going for it is the nice police car. Glad you like it.

Will come in handy with all of the high speed chases in Pingree Grove

Sharp Looking Charger!!

Reminds me of a old KCMO unit.

The car dosen't come with trim rings from the factory and the department dosen't buy them either. They are bought by the trooper if he or she wants them.
Another unique thing about my squad I will point out is it one of the very last ISP squads to get the MX7000 light bar that was used for nearly 15 years. Most of the other 2006 squads got a Code 3 LED bar.

Integrity Service Pride, the same motto as on the ISP seal.

so, do the troopers themselves decide to put embellishments on the car like the trim rings, or are the trim rings standard on the isp cvpi? i don't think the trim rings look that good on this "flatter" wheel, as opposed to the earlier '98 deeper dish wheel.

also, what's that script next to the silhouette of illinois at the back of the cruiser, next to the gas door?

I stand corrected.

The cars are take home units.

"There has been talk recently of changing the plates and call signs to be the same as the Troopers badge # but it hasn't happened yet."

wouldn't you think that would be rather difficult since the cars are not take-home units assigned to a single trooper?

The number on the license plate is the call sign the trooper assinged to the car uses on the radio. Each Trooper also has a badge number, which is differnt that is used on paperwork. In 20 of the districts the first 2 numbers on the plate are the district number. District Chicago, which used to be districts 3 and 4 now uses a C. District 10 in the Champaign area uses an X. This is so the call sign is not confused with 10 codes. For example a car with the plate C-150 would call in as Chicago- Charles 150. Most administrative or special divisions of the ISP also have a letter followed by a number. Such as a saftey education officer plate always starts with an S and the air operations division plates start with an L. The current plates have been used since the late sixties before that ISP vehicles and the U states plates like I DOT vehicles still use. There has been talk recently of changing the plates and call signs to be the same as the Troopers badge # but it hasn't happened yet. I hope I have answered your question.
