Chevy Tahoe as a police vehicle

[StevenFromTexas]

Our local Lubbock Police Department and the Lubbock County Sheriff's Department are both transitioning over to the Chevy Tahoe as their primary police vehicle.

The Lubbock Police Department recently purchased 63 Chevy Tahoes to start their switchover. The black and white vehicles are a throwback colorwise to decades past, but the color scheme looks sharp and intimidating on the Tahoes as they cruise the streets.

Here's a newspaper link: http://lubbockonline.com/local-news/2011-07-15/lpd-starts-transition-tahoe-new-police-vehicle . An interesting statistic in the article is the police department expects to get miles per gallon figures much more in line with what I get in my 2010 Tahoe, rather than the EPA estimates, which means they'll spend a lot of time filling up.

crown vics get about the same as my tahoe. i had an 03 Police Interceptor and was getting less than 16 mpg with it.

We've been using Tahoes in Hoover for as long as I have been here and longer. A lot of them still rock the NBS's, but a lot have the NNBS too.

Our state police and weights and scales use them plenty around my parts!!

I have seen many Baltimore County Tahoes and Suburbans. The last time I looked Maryland State Police was still using all Fords as marked vehicles.

Our sheriff's dept has 3. Solid white with the black wheels. I actually like the look if them.

state police here use a nnbs Denali XLT as a k-9 search and rescue Truck. I like the Grey they have on them too. Heres a pic for color reference.

I would like to purchase a Tahoe SSV. Does anyone have any dealers that know how to order one? All my dealers around here say they cant do it. Its basicly the same at the Police Tahoe but in 4WD and not pursuit rated.

Thanks
