You’ve probably noticed the new black and white 2016 Dodge Chargers police cruisers driving around the city.
Police Chief John Bates says five vehicles have been replaced with the new chargers and says there’s also a new patrol van primarily for the uptown area.
Bates says bringing in cruisers that are black and white is less costly compard to the older models because you don’t have to put the striping on them.
He calls the black and white cruisers a rebranding process.
Bates says the older models are outdated and haven’t been changed in roughly 20 years.
