Very nice setup! I really hope you turn off everything to the rear but that advisor on traffic stops! That must be blinding.
Lots of SOS! A couple of questions and comments:
1) What siren are you using?
2) The front lightbar pattern is just a little fast for me, i would consider to slow it down. I think that a slower pattern helps a lot on traffic stops. But that's just me.
3) Somebody really likes Sound off, i don't think that i have ever seen so much sos in one car. lol
Overall good job

This is a much nicer setup than what you had, but is this the same car that had the Edge bar and the full wheel covers from the other thread? If so, why does it have a different license plate now? This plate is G 45530 and the other one was G 45532? Of course, if this is a different car, disregard the questions.
Plus, if you value your health, get rid of those 7 slot rims PRONTO and get the 12 slot style. The 7 slot version was prone to failure, especially at high speed, and they were recalled by Ford, and the 12 slot version is the replacement. You certainly don't want to have them crack and separate while running 80+ MPH. Google about them for more info.

I love the LED spot, but agree it needs a little more spread to go along with the throw.
(I'll still probably get one).

By far one of the better slick top setups I have seen! Thanks for the good vid of the intersectors and LED spotlamp!
I am surprised how effective those intersectors are. They are visible from the front all the way to the back!!
I agree with all the lights in the back. That is a lot. I think you could lose the bottom lightbar and it would still be more than sufficient.
As for the spotlight, all our new cars have them. I love them. But because they're pretty pricey, we only have the drive spotlight in LED, the other is halogen.

Well.................. No more car, It has been wrecked and considered a total loss by the insurance company. 
Didn't even have the equipment installed in this car for a year yet.

Glad your ok. Honestly haven't heard of brake failure issues in CVPI. Did your county maintenance shop screw something up?

Not really sure.... Brakes pressed and pedal went to the floor board and nothing... We were code 1 non emergency so we were not going fast at all.
They said it was totaled because the frame is bent in a u shape kindoff and both Air Bags deployed. I'm no car expert so I just go by what I was hearing.
And we dont have a county maintenance shop or anything.. Haha. If that tells ya something about our budget.

See? If you have installed a push bumper this wouldn't have happened .
All kidding aside, I'm glad no one got hurt and it looks like everything will be able to be pulled from the car and re used.

Can't wait to see the next car however... is it going to be bigger and better?
I think I read about a couple of "done up" CVPI cars for sale on Craigs List! LOL

naa we are use to it here in Mississippi I know.. Every SHERIFF Patrol vehicle I have seen has the sheriffs name on it. I mean its like a campain add to keep your position and doesnt cost you money I guess haha . When you see a Sheriff car patrolling your area it makes you happy and you see his name and that is who you vote for lol

We dont have desk duty, not enough people..
PLUS i wasnt driving, I had been out all day and another deputy got in and he drove while I rode shotgun so................
As for a new vehicle IDK, im a part-time deputy but just became the counties K9 Deputy (only K9 in the county) and that is because I purchased the dog out of my pocket so I was lucky to have a takehome ride as a part-time. BUT with this dog I have to have a vehicle and the Sheriff understands but we really are broke man... like bad... The sheriff has been talking of a new Tahoe but IDK how that will go with the board of supervisors and one or two of the full-time deputies (they will try to take that and give me their CVPIs, they already said it lol). I will settle for whatever as long as it has a good air system for my pup. So hopefully the next patrol vehicle I post is a Tahoe (dear lord plleaaassseeee) and it will say K9 UNIT on it. haha
