(KAIR)-- New Vehicles are approved for purchase for the Atchison Police Department
That happened Monday, during a special meeting of the Atchison City Commison.
The vehicles will be two 2018 Ford Police Interceptor utility vehicles, and are subject to replace the department's 2015 sedans.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told the Commission the current purchase rotation utilized by the City is proving to be econmical. “Because the vehicles are built as police packages, the department gets a real good resale value. We will sale two 2015 sedans this year and we'll get somewhere between 40-45 percent back then what was paid. That's the advantage of having a three year cycle.”
The vehicles are being purchased through Shawnee Mission Ford at a cost of nearly $60,000.
Commissioners approved the purchase on a unanimous vote of 5-0.
