    Texas Police Vehicles (Pic Heavy)

    That small amber light behind the grill looks like the small lights Mobile-Vision used to send with their video systems....it lit up when the system was recording video. I had one in an Expedition that had a mobile vision system. Their overhead mount controls had the light built into it, but...

    Star/svp strobe power supply

    You can use the Whelen cables / strobes with the SVP power supply.....no worries with pin placement / order. My dept uses both, and I've replaced several Whelen power supplies that crapped out with the SVP 6/90....the outputs and the power/ground inputs were the same as the Whelen....I just...

    Northwestern Regional Police Dodge Charger Slick-top

    Why? Not trying to be a douche or anything...but why would the direction the stripes on the rear go cause a vehicle to run into a patrol car?? I just never understood this...maybe because I've never had a car with those on the rear of it.

    Snapped a pic of the Caprice the other night....needless to say the Deputy is none too happy with the equipment installation....LOVES the car...HATES the install......I'm much taller than him, and I had trouble reaching the equipment while parked...much less while moving Radio Unreachable...

    Update on the install. Nothing to update yet.....the installer apparently installs one piece of equipment...then takes a break....then goes back and looks at what he just installed...then goes to lunch....then....you get the point. They've had it in the same install-bay for 2 weeks....its...

    Lightbar Mounting Question for Installers

    Unless you are just looking for an uber-clean install....just make the hole for the wires just behind the bar....you wont have to punch thru the support, and you can seal the hole using much less sealer. If you want...I'll take a pic of how I did mine and post it later tonight when I get to...

    Lightbar Mounting Question for Installers

    I mount all ours directly above the B-pillar....we run Freedoms, and I havent noticed any significant wind noise. My wires enter the cab just behind the lightbar....your bar sure seems to be mounted farther forward than any I've seen....

    My dept took delivery of a new Caprice!

    Same thing happened when our detectives started getting 4-door F150's assigned to them. Even though the trucks are the base-model "work-trucks"....the word going around was that they were all driving FX4's with leather and sunroofs.

    My dept took delivery of a new Caprice!

    No clue....except for all the talk about public opinion....seeing us riding around in "fancy SUV's"...even if they posted the cost comparison...and all the other "pros" to going with the tahoe on the front page of the paper, there'd still be folks complaining about us getting SUV's.

    My dept took delivery of a new Caprice!

    I've given this much thought....and after drafting several sever different versions of a reply...I have decided to defer to the moderators on this one. If they feel my use of the word "gay or gayness" was made with specific malice towards the homosexual community, then they should delete my...

    My dept took delivery of a new Caprice!

    I know its actually decigned for the 9C3 Caprice, which apparently has the conventional civilian style center console....but its still kinda odd. It may be a 'fail" for jotto....but its a bigger "FAIL" for my departments service center....why buy that for our Caprice, which has the 9C1...

    Brace yourself....gayness inbound My favorite part is how they dont recommend having a front seat passenger (prolly has something to do with getting your left knee-cap sheared off in an accident)....very convenient for those riding 2-up, or when you are training a rook Chevy Caprice Police...

    "Handcuff" style universal rifle lock question...

    Mine is mounted against the cage....but if you can find any pics of a texas DPS crown vic....they have free-standing vertical racks mounted between the front seats....they are dual racks that hold a shotgun as well as their AR's. I'll see if I can get a buddy of mine to take a pic and send it to me

    "Handcuff" style universal rifle lock question...

    Yep...its a 10.5". So far, I'm loving the light....it has a really long throw, plus we have a flip-open diffuser that changes it to a crazy bright flood beam. These lights work great on the 16" rifles....its only the SBR's that are having the problem. I could move it forward a bunch, but...

    "Handcuff" style universal rifle lock question...

    Disregard...i found some pics of the lock installed....and it looks like it'll work if I put the lock between the receiver, and the rear of the light....I'll just need to move my light forward a notch or two

    "Handcuff" style universal rifle lock question...

    So....I've been carrying my SBR in a standard AR-style electric lock....in a vertical setup between the front seats of my c-vic....BUT, my department just switched us from small pistol-style tac-lights mounted to our foregrips, to a much larger rifle tac-light. Now, my lock wont fit around the...
