Title
New Orland Park Police Squad Car Designs
History
In 1988, the Orland Park Police Department changed over squad cars from Dodge Diplomats (powder blue in color/ with Orland Park “Golf Capital of the World Logo”) In 1989-1990 the Police Department moved on to Chevy Caprice’s and changed the squad car design/logo to the current RED/WHITE/BLUE striping design. For the last 36 years, the Police Department has had the same squad car design. Many police agencies throughout our region have changed their squad car designs and have modernized the look of their patrol cars. The Orland Park Police Department felt it was long overdue to modernize the look of the patrol squad cars and move out of 1990.
The proposed new designs keeps the RED/WHITE/BLUE patriotic theme with a new modern look. The image is sleek and professional with a friendlier modern look to build trust with the community.
The new designs are a morale boost with patrol officers who have longed for a new modern look.
There are 6 new patrol squads being added to our existing fleet. We will be rolling out the selected new design on the 6 new squads. As other existing squads reach their expiration, we will be placing the new design on the squads until the whole patrol fleet is completed.
We hope the Orland Park community embraces the look of the new Orland Park Patrol cars.
