New Salem PD Cruisers

The Salem Police Department is upgrading its fleet with the latest vehicles to enhance efficiency and safety. In 2024, the department outlined plans to acquire new models, including the 2025 Ford Utility Patrol Vehicle and a K9 Unit, as part of an initiative to modernize their equipment and better serve the community.

Key upgrades include 360-degree emergency lighting systems, advanced in-car technology like mobile data terminals and in-car video systems, and specialized equipment for K9 units to ensure the safety and comfort of police dogs. Standard patrol vehicles will feature push bumpers, prisoner cells, and secure storage options.

These enhancements reflect the department’s ongoing commitment to adopting new technologies to improve public safety and streamline operations. For more details, you can refer to the official RFP document on the Salem town website.
