Whos fault is it that cars are parked not being used for 10yrs? Why arent they selling the old cars to get money for new? And maybe have these cops take better care of the cars instead of driving reckless crashing all the time.
NO ONE IS DOING THEIR PART….THE WHOLD SYSTEM IS BROKE….MOVE THE CARS THAT ARE NOT WORKING TO THE AUCTION, MOVE ON …WHOSE JOB IS IT TO MAINTAIN THE CARS AND THE OLD CARS?
If they are keep crashing their cars, they should be driving those cars even if they look like they’ve been in a wreck… hopefully that will help them drive better
My dad still has his ‘65 impala in good running condition due to routine maintenance and run-up tests. If he can do it with his small 5 figure salary, then cops should be able to maintain their own cars with their 307mil budget. Smh
Most agencies. State, Federal, local. They’re all the same. Vehicles sit in the agency shops for MONTHS. Brand new vehicles. There out of warranty before they ever touch a street. ESPECIALLY, Washington state..
Makes no sense to be a cop anymore. Departments not being funded, criminals being let back out by bad judges/DAs, officer lives being put in danger due to faulty equipment and salaries waning. Things gotta change.
Why is Memphis still purchasing vehicles? Here in Texas PDs, SOs, COs, and other law enforcement agencies have leasing agreements through enterprise and other rentap companies in which the companies provide new fully decked out vehicles every 2-4 years…lights, liveries, cages, etc. You can modify these lease agreements if you want a specific shop to install the equipment on your end, but the main point is you get cars basically ASAP and on a rotation. Maintenance like oil changes, inspections, tires, are all taken care of by the company, saving the city/county THOUSANDS on that alone.
Get with the times Memphis. I swear everything about that city is like 20 years behind the rest of us.
Only 5 years or 100k miles? That seems a little short to me given that the average car is 12.6 years old with over 150,000 miles.
Obviously the average car isn't driven like a police car, but I feel that a 5 year old car still has plenty of life left, fixing it seems like a better use of resources than just dumping it for a new one.
So, if the cares are sitting in the parking garage, why weren't they properly serviced to keep them operating or sold to raise funds to purchase new vehicles?
must be nice to want everything to go your way just because you wear a badge!! fix'em your selves or pool together for a new car, just one. then share that car arround the department
What the heck are they going to use if everything is going ev
And I'm on the bus

The very what 😂😂😂
Car companies have a huge amount of inventory that they can retrofit to be used as police cars, and then write them all off.

if they're that old just sell them at auction.
Memphis appears to be a corrupt and poorly managed city.
Sell a few of your $250,000 bearcats that you used with stolen PPP funds, and buy some new cars!
Need some Crown Vics to come in and make things good again
Damn.i would be happy take those old cruisers home
No rust in memphis, no reason to replace cars every 5 yrs
Ask the rappers for the money
Give them pedal bikes.
This should have been brought up a: LONG TIME AGO!!!!!! Another day in America 🇺🇸 I'm frying chicken wings tonight 💯

Take the money from their "red list" and purchase those vehicles. Stop wasting taxpayers money

Thats weird. The police department has vehicles in a parking garage and all the vehicles you show are pedestrian vehicles.
The age of the car doesn’t matter. Especially when the newer cars can’t do the job as well.
The old purpose built Ford Police cars are still in demand in some police department because the newer cars are pure rubbish.
So, if the cares are sitting in the parking garage, why weren't they properly serviced to keep them operating or sold to raise funds to purchase new vehicles?
Stop wrecking and abusing the vehicles and they will last years on years.. stop driving fast would be a big start 😂.
Stop wrecking the cars you have, MPD officers can’t drive worth a flip
those don’t like cops cars
3:15 why are they using paper plates? 😂 looks legit.
People in Hell want ice water. They aren’t getting what they want either. BTW- you are definitely NOT recruiting the “very best”.🤣
Every 5 years ??? These are bloody cars not phones.
That just seems like a waste of resources. If you won't use them, remove the equipment and sell it.
meanwhile, most memphis residents cant afford a car with less than 200000 miles. cops are scumbag vampires that will suck society dry.

What they need is retraining on the Constitution and to not violate anybody’s rights
