Our department is always looking for smart ways to be responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars. Instead of purchasing a brand-new utility car—which can cost approximately $75,000 once emergency equipment is installed—we recently repurposed an existing low-mileage police department vehicle. By redeploying this vehicle, we were able to maintain the same level of service and readiness while saving significant funds. This 2022 Tahoe replaces our 2013 Tahoe, which is being redeployed in the Village.
