Officers claimed the village council was unsupportive, refusing to fund necessary equipment, such as new police cruisers. The department had three vehicles, but they were unreliable due to dead batteries from infrequent use. A proposal to purchase two used cars with high mileage was rejected by the council, which also questioned the need for more than two cruisers.Must be a sleepy little town if the batteries in their police cruisers go dead from infrequent use! That's something I've never heard of before!
That sounds like high school clique crap.
Al 3 of them?
Is that actually right?
Sounds like somewhere I wouldn’t mind moving too, if the police don’t get a single call often enough to keep their car battery charged. I mean, not even a cat-in-a-tree call?
No crime? No speed traps? Nothing?
These guys lost a good gig.
Must be they got their donuts delivered. lol. Kidding!
They need new cars because they don’t use the other cars enough. Is that the way it works?
With modern vehicles batteries will go dead for lack of use. The vehicle computer is alive all the time consuming a little juice. After a few weeks the battery will be too dead to start the engine.
We have several vehicles with only two drivers. We know it is important to run each one at least once every two weeks.
With this information, this means the PD seldom uses their vehicles anyway. Newer used vehicles will not solve the problem, driving the existing ones will.
