COLLIER

The township has purchased two new patrol vehicles that will be put into immediate service.

The new vehicles are a 2017 Police Interceptor sport utility vehicle and a 2017 Police F-150 truck, both of which will be used regularly and will replace two aging police cars.

“Having an up-to-date fleet helps us save on maintenance costs while providing excellent response to our residents,” Chief Craig Campbell said. “The addition of a truck also gives us the opportunity to better assist the community in a variety of unique scenarios and transport our police bicycles and motorcycles.”
