St. Paul police pick Crown Victoria replacement
The demise of the standard Crown Victoria as a police cruiser has departments across Minnesota looking for replacements. Here's St. Paul's selection, Ford's new Taurus-based squad car.
This is one of the first couple the department has acquired according to public information officer, Sgt. Paul Paulos. He says it's a commander's car, so it isn't fully fitted out for patrol. But it hit the street yesterday for the Twin Cities Marathon -- this one was parked at Grand and Cleveland, a block from the action.
The department also has several Ford Explorer-based squads in the shop, getting rigged out for duty.
