FINALLY! 🚓 It’s been a long road, but we’re excited to officially introduce our new patrol fleet!

For the first time in nearly a decade, our officers are hitting the road with a new lineup of patrol vehicles. They aren’t just a fresh new look, they provide our officers with safer, more reliable, and updated equipment to better serve our campus community.

A HUGE thank you to the Foothill-DeAnza Community College District for supporting this much-needed investment in public safety. 💙

A lot of planning, coordination and patience went into getting these vehicles from order to patrol ready and we couldn’t be happier to finally see them on the road! 🚔
