With all of the talk lately of drastically reducing costs at the City of San Jose I just got to wondering how much does an average police cruiser costs the city in total equipment costs. Some of the equipment I have notice in today's cars include:
- The original cost of the car.
- Add-ons such as suspension and engine enhancements.
- Paint and lights (light bar and spot)
- New back seat, cage and handles and locks.
- Radios and computers
- Shotgun and secure holder
- GPS and camera pod (lately I have seen large camera pods on top of the light bars on some units).
- Trunk Contents- Accident Response Kit, Defibrillator, First Aid Kid
If anyone knows the answer to this or knows if I left out any squad car add-ons let me know. I figure an accuracy of about $5,000 up or down show be reasonable enough. Any guesses?
