Police Norge looks spiffy

Generally, police departments and those that head them are resistant to change. There are many departments that are not this way and in fact are progressive, but for every one of those, there's probably a dozen that are stuck in the 1950s.  I've seen it a few times where Chiefs of Police are asked why something is done in a certain way, and the only answer they can think of is "Because that's the way it's always been done."

So that's why small suburbs purchase the Dodge Charger Hemi. They really need 360/ 370HP to chase down the bad guy's in 40 MPH zones. Yeah, 150 mph cars.

I assumed all the Dodges I have seen were the beasts too but looking at the OP's link, I see there're 2 V-6 Dodges with the dual exhaust which I thought was indicative of the V-8. I wonder how many I see daily which are actually V-6s?

Other high points of the test:
Two Guzzis? Must be parameter spreaders though. Could they ever really be in contention?
A CanAm Copsickle? Imagine the derision... Training wheels like the old meter-maids and parade tugs.
6 liter Caprice? Return of a long lost platform. I'll keep my eyes open for one of these coming across the auctions in the future.
Mag lev technology when a bike doesn't have a center stand? Where do I buy that? Maybe more of the military technology and equipment filtering down to local police from DHS and DARPA? Does it come with a tin foil hat and cod piece to protect the nards?

Too, they usually keep the profits on the sell-off. I remember this being a gigantic boon to Boston buying HDs one year as the profit turned on resale was huge. Also helping was that Boston PD bikes were prettier than most and exceptionally well cared for.

You might want to reread my post on other factors affecting a PD purchase of motorcycles.  Those unknown factors usually are more influencing that performance factors.
