Chevy Tahoe as a police vehicle

[xander569]

I have seen a couple of SSV Tahoes used by our local power comapny -Dominion Power. There is nothing special about the SSV Tahoe. Its a basic LS with rubber floors, no roof rack, and no onstar. It really amazes me that I cannot order or find one of these....

Do you mean the ppv? It is not likely that they are using them...

One of the biggest differences is the lowered suspension for higher speeds, and they all have those distinct (and ugly) rims.

Most of the PD vehicles in the city I live are Tahoes...even a few that are are blacked out.....unmarked but you can totally pick them out

If their cars don't look like mine then they are far from blacked out.
Just black police cars.

I need pics of the 3 here! They are unmarked. And I thought they had the black steelies but they don't. I'm
Going for another picture today. They better be there!

For a second, I thought that was a police officer eating a donut, but looking closer, it's his hand.

NJSP Tahoes - Marked ones used most for commercial truck divison, they are pretty simple looking but sick at the same time.

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.

Could not get a better pic because he was moving pretty fast. They do look good in person though.
