Stanley Says

The Range Rover in question is a seized vehicle that was assigned to the Narcotics Unit until last week. The Narcotics Unit seized the vehicle as part of a drug case. I suppose Chief Bolton will add it to the large fleet of vehicles assigned to his office. I hear the Uniform Division does not have enough cars for officers who answer 911 calls. Given this command staff's incredible lack of ethics and huge egos, does this action really surprise anyone???

In reference to the Range Rover Stanely said, "Given this command staff's incredible lack of ethics and huge egos, does this action really surprise anyone?"

Not really. What's amazing is the total lack of respect they have for their detectives and uniform officers.

The grunts doing the work sit and quietly watch as a late model Expedition gets replaced by brand a new Tahoe, then replaced by a Range Rover.

Do they really think a police force trained to observe the little things doesn't take notice?

There are questions that remain to be answered:

1) How many tactical rifles could be purchased with proceeds raised by selling a siezed Range Rover?

2) How many tasers could be purchased with proceeds raised by selling a siezed Range Rover?

3) How many officers could be trained in drug interdiction with proceeds raised by selling a siezed Range Rover?

4) How many plain Jane CID cars could be be purchased to replace aging CID cars with proceeds raised by selling a siezed Range Rover?

5) How many new patrol cars could be purchased or how many old patrol cars could fixed with proceeds raised by selling a siezed Range Rover?

6) How does this impact the growing number of officers who might be considering other law enforcement jobs?
