Chicago Police vehicle question

[squad51]

Say can anyone tell me who builds the wagons CPD uses? We are looking at starting up a booking van that will be Pct wide and collect all those who need to go to jail and keep our patrol units inthe field. We are currently using a cargo van but would like to switch to the cab and chasis version that CPD uses. Thanks for any and all help.

They are Ford f450 diesel box trucks. Its unsure if cpd buys the trucks that way from Ford or brings it to an auto place to convert them into transport trucks. I can look into further for you and post the finds.

I believe Sutton Ford in Matteson has the vehicle contract with CPD. You could try contacting their fleet manager. You could try any Ford dealership's fleet dept. for that matter.

Wow, that's must be a pretty lucrative contract if Sutton has it. I wonder why CPD would go all the way out to the south 'burbs for their vehicles.

Sutton is a minority and that may have something to do with it. I believe the contract had to be awarded to a minority dealer.
