This vehicle was just pulled from service. I hadn’t posted pictures or details before as it is a semi-covert install. The vehicle served dual purposes, as a supervisor’s vehicle and as a takedown vehicle for plain clothes details. (This vehicle used a lot of recycled equipment as well.)
Its use as an arrest vehicle was intermittent so the idea was to be able “tone it down” when needed. The main goal was to make it covert from the front and sides with minimal concerns about the rear. Pulling the Slimlighter, putting a Harley Davidson tag on the front, and covering the RADAR antenna with a hat did the job. The overall warning package was amazingly effective with solid flash patterns and lighting on multiple levels.
The install was actually executed by Steve Jones of Citizen’s Page in Corinth, MS and they did a great job.

To make the Dominator’s less visible, this aftermarket grill material was added and worked really well.
The Slimlighter could be removed very quickly. This was done by mounting rare earth magnets on the glass and a corresponding metal disc on the Slimlighter. A quick disconnect was added to the power as well. The Slimlighter also had a kill option on the Cencom to avoid flashback issues at night.
Originally, we had a Sound Off Ghost on each side of the license plate bracket. These did not hold up and we were able to squeeze two LINZ-6’s on to the sides.
My boss was able to find some off-brand LED’s that actually fit in the recesses of the luggage rack.
The bulk of the rear warning was provided by this lightbar. It is a piece of angle iron with the Tomar RECT-25's mounted to it. It sat down low enough to only be visible from the rear but still produced a lot of warning.
Sound Off Ghosts with a white body blended in nicely. The factory flash patterns sucked so they were run off an external flasher.
We recycled some Gen 1 LED’s from old Patriot light bars and installed them at the bottom of the hatch area to give some warning when opening the door.
Since we had them left over, we installed a dual TOMAR RECT-25 on the frame of the vehicle for extra side warning.
To keep a long gun handy, a shotgun lock was mounted on the passenger’s side of the console. With a 14” Remington 870, it worked perfectly.
I have some videos recorded but haven't but them together yet.
