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.

Question for Mr. Wright,

I work for the patrol here in Missouri and grew up in the Chicago area. On the patrol cars here in Missouri the license plate is the same as the badge number. On the ISP cars I know the first two digits are the District number, but does the the rest of the numbers on the plate mean anything other than the car number?

Great looking cruiser (and pics). How's this locale's name pronounced? Ping-ree, Pin-gree, or Pine-gree? Regardless, it looks good!

its a 1998 and run like a top

Cool Pics, my sister lives in Ogle Co.

when I drove this car at 240k the steering wheel would move back and forth and felt like it was going to break in half.
