The Town of Quantico Police Department has its first new police vehicle in 20 years.
Here's more in a press release written by Town of Quantico Mayor David Brown:
On 20 Oct 2015 the Town of Quantico received a new police cruiser purchased with grant funding received from the Office of the Attorney General's Asset Forfeiture Transfer Program.
The new cruiser is a 2016 Ford Explorer outfitted with industry standard law enforcement equipment and is the first new police cruiser purchased by the town since 1995.
The town has been working with the Office of the Attorney General since February 2014 to ensure the town would benefit from the available grant funding.
I would like to thank Chief John Clair for his efforts in identifying this grant opportunity and submitting the grant application which resulted in this new vehicle.
I would also like to thank Mr. Mark Fero from the Office of the Attorney General who assisted the chief throughout the process.
The addition of this new police cruiser is a big win for the Town of Quantico and our police department.
This new police cruiser not only provides a more reliable vehicle for our officers but also improves officer safety and helps to promote a more professional image for the Quantico Police Department.
It also fits into the town's plans to increase its emergency and disaster preparedness posture by providing new capabilities such as a 9,000 pound winch and an on-board power converter.
On behalf of the town council and the residents of the Town of Quantico, I would like to thank the Office of the Attorney General for approving our grant application.
Receiving this grant will allow the town to keep the majority of its police department funding focused on keeping officers on the streets and keeping Quantico safe.
It is the town's understanding that the funding for the grant resulted from a Medicaid fraud settlement during Ken Cuccinelli's term as AG of Virginia.
The vehicle was purchased from Sheehy Auto Sales, Municipal Sales & Service Center of North Chesterfield, VA for $40,333.00.
