New police cars on the street
The Liberty Lake Police Department recently took delivery of three new police cars to replace some of its aging fleet. But people adept at spotting the unique profile of a Crown Victoria police car from blocks away will have to retrain their eye. The new cars are not Crown Vics, which aren't being made anymore, but are Ford Police Interceptors. The one I took a picture of this week doesn't have a light bar on top. The cars boast all wheel drive, which the old ones didn't have, and get better gas mileage. Police Chief Brian Asmus said his officers should have a much easier time getting around town in the snow this winter. Photo by Nina Culver
