Standard NYPD stickers. No department is gonna be so quick to give that up for a new one, especially one as well known as the NYPD.

Great, no more running from the cops on the Belt Parkway, FDR Drive, West Side Highway, Van Wyck, or any other highway in New York City! Shit!

They Usually were were stock LS1's with 1LE suspension and stiffer sways, and the Hemi Charger cannot hang with the LS1 Camaro trooper. If it was an SRT then it would be a different story, but that car is making close to 100 horses more.

.....faster cars maybe but, NYPD is NOT know for their pursuit capabilities. NYPD is NOT the LAPD, CHP or even NJSP.

My friend just picked up a red Charger SRT-8 a few weeks ago and he's a lunatic. Knowing him, he'll probably try to play cat-and-mouse with a cop in an R/T and run away from him. Only a matter of time...

Those lights are LED. Same housings, but the lights are LED all around. Some police cars already have them up around my neighborhood. Very bright.

Surprised to see the alloys on it. I would have figured they'd switch them out for the standard black steelies.

that looks pretty slick, but I do agree they need the updated light bars. then again I hate it when the CHP cruisers here have them because it makes them harder to spot.

Believe me, the red, white, amber are all LED. Except for the Right and Left Alley Light. They are still regular Halogen bulbs. I've been in the cars (not charger, crown vics) and operated the LED lights. I know they exsist.

NJSP Crown Vics have extremely flat light bars that look like nothing until they light up and become a mobile representation of Times Square.

Yup, those are the light bars that the CHP camaro's have on them. You can't see them at all. They'll sneak in behind ya out of nowhere.

I think its impractical for the NYC streets, instead of wasting money on cars they should pay the cops a real wage..25K to start is crazy...

NYC cop starting wage is that low? Oakland PD is so desperate for cops they are paying close to $70k but you would have to drive the Crown Vics. LOL

$25k is for the recruits (6 months) but it bumps up to $33k upon graduation and within 5 years the salary is $60k.

January 2006 or after:

Police Academy (first six months): $25,100 (Annualized)
Upon completion of six months: $32,700
Upon completion of 1 ½ years: $34,000
Upon completion of 2 ½ years: $38,000
Upon completion of 3 ½ years: $41,500
Upon completion of 4 ½ years: $44,100
Upon completion of 5 ½ years: $59,588


LINK

But , they are still underpaid. I imagine these Chargers would see duty within the Highway Patrol Division but for certain. (Just be on the lookout while driving on the Belt, Van Wyk or Deegan. )

Anyone notice that the front bumper doesn't have that bar that most law enforcement cruisers have? you know the one that is used to push other cars?

Guys the car isnt done yet. And looking at the car number, it looks like it will be the "Show Car". it is just so that we can see what they will look like. 3100 is the stnadard number used for the museum or other non offiial duty.

The road ready vehicles will most definitly have pushbars, black steel wheels, more lights etc..

They chargers will be tested as highway units, and they will have alot more shit on it.

my personal opinion i don't like it.
a town about 5 miles to the north of where I live just had a new cop cruiser approved for purchase. they currently have a 97 or 98 crown vic. they had it narrowed down between:
new crown vic again
new charger(this is what the chief wanted)
new Impala- that's what the board of directors picked to get.
all the town police depts around here are going to Impalas.

A lot of police depts are pissed at Ford since that deal with the gas tank may explode due to rear impact crash. Ford refuse to recall the cop cruisers. A Ohio State highway patrol was hit on I-75 i think he had a dude pulled over. got hit in the rear end at 65-70 mph. of course sent the cruiser into the back end of the car pulled over then it exploded. the patrolman just bearly lived. they had to MedFlight him to the hospital and all this crap. I was talking with a State Highway patrolman why they won't go with a Chevy Impala they said up until 2006 they didn't offer a V-8. and on interstate which is a BIG money maker for them it's hard to catch speeders that have like Z-28s and Mustang GTs and Vettes. so I think if Chevy makes a "stripped" Impala SS it would sell to the Ohio State Patrol.
