Okay, this is it, the one and only place to put any and all info on this subject together. Facts I know.
1. Its not possible to buy a Charger or Magnum police package vehicle equipped with the SRT engine.
2. While it is possible for a department to purchase an SRT and rig it for police work, I have no documented cases of this happening.
3. Its possible for a department to have one that is a confiscation, but again, no confirmed reports to date.
4. I do know of, and have seen pictures of, a 300C SRT-8 police car, in HI, where all police use their personal vehicles as police cars.
5. I have one report, from a very trusted source, TNCharger, of a shady county sheriff in TN who got the county to buy him one, which he used. He then lost the next election and the car was auctioned.
What I'm after is real, documented cases. Photos, press reports, stuff like that. In two years, not one verified case has surfaced. I've dug into county, city and state budget reports, searched exhaustively in as many ways as I can think of, and nothing.
But to hear the car geeks on the net tell it, every damn department out there has them. Oddly enough, when you did into the forums that police frequent, like officer.com and others, the cops dont mention them either.
So, get out there, and see what you can find. All reports will be analyzed and evaluated
Edited to add what pics we do have with short notes on what and where.....
300C rigged out, Indianapolis area, personal car, reports vary if its some sort of court officer, or a high ranking member of a department in one of the nearby counties...
County Sheriff in the southeast, bought with drug funds, will be used for parades and school stuff.
Shreveport, LA, car has a radar unit, which leads to the idea it might actually pull over people. no further data on it. Converted car, not built this way, but very well done...
