A picture of part of the 14 2012 Chargers (couldnt fit them all in one pic) we will soon be starting for the Franklin PD. I am going to be setting all flash patterns to steady burn just for you guys:)

I can have my moments, but I have a sense of humor too! In all seriousness not sure what equipment these are getting yet. I have not even had time to look at the bid sheet yet. Will post more info as it happens.


The cars are in the process of being wrapped and striped.

Well the stripes are all done and we are now cranking out these Chargers for the Franklin Police Dept. Equipment is:


Federal Signal Impaxx in grill and on each side of license plate, and on B posts


Federal Signal Dual Vipers in back deck


Federal Signal single Viper on dash


Feniex LAW front and rear


Federal Signal Legend light bar


Federal Signal Smart Siren


Jotto Desk Console


Setina Cage with dual weapons system

There are one of these panels on each side of the trunk. The plates are on hinges and contain various components. One panel contains the Smart Siren, Serial Interface box, and a fuse block. The other panel holds a modem and 2 way radio.

I'll reserve judgment until I've actually seen a video. ;)

The picture isn't bright enough... There's you fail already... Hahahahaha

Yeah I know. Also the outdoor security lights mounted on the building do not come on at the same time. I guess that constitutes split fail.

Being a "southern" state, I anticipate ridiculous amounts of blue, to the exclusion of any other colors...
You say that like it's a bad thing. Red's fine, blue's fine, it's only a problem when there's too much white, or if there's amber in front when the vehicle's not stopped.

edit: ...Or if there's red in back without any in front... and I'm sure there's plenty more I wouldn't like. :D

Definitely think body wraps are better than actual painted 2 tone. Better for resale value...

NO SPLIT FAIL!! And I approve of the flash pattern, hahaha. :p

:hail:

Did you custom make the faceplate with the USB in picture 4 or did you order it?

We custom make the panels out of aluminum. Add some hinges we pick up from hope depot and a latch and viola! Out of the way mounting solutions that are easy to access.

I was talking about the faceplate in the console.

Ahh my bad. Not it is the side brackets that come with the DVR. We have actual Jotto Specific face plates on the way for the DVR as well as the radio. That is the reason there are still blank spots in the console.

NO split-fail patterns and NO white to the rear, PLEASE!

if the only white to the rear is the reverse lights, its not bad at all. it actually breaks it up nicely. White vertex to the rear are never gonna blind anyone. it only becomes a problem if half of the light bar to the rear is white, or if you had 900 series linear strobes in clear, or like Atlanta PD, that has 4 white talons to the rear .

I like the setup, I would have rather done a lighthead on each mirror and left off the dash light.

I am right there with you. Not sure the thinking behind the single Viper but that is what they wanted.

Looks Great


Every car around here in Mississippi has All Blue to the rear with some amber and ALWAYS has white HAWs in the reverse lights. Breaks the see of blue up nicely

Yeah, for as long as I can remember they had the older style stripes pictured below. Nothin wrong with them but a little outdated.


(The water doesnt help either)

Love the install, but i think that the LAWs and the HLF kinda cancel each other out (particularly at night)
