SUMMARY OF REPORT COVERING POSSIBLE MOVE TO FLEET
OF MARKED POLICE VEHICLES-HAWAH COUNTY POLICE DEPT.
**** Predicated on the present total of 351 subsidized vehicles introduced
over two fiscal years. First year: 231 vehicles. Second year: 120 vehicles
**** Reduce budget for vehicles operations thus allowing the reduction to
be possibly applied for salaries or more officers.
**** Manpower would be utilized more effectively. For example suspects
aECEYVT'iy
would be transported immediately. dme sy
.yCounly Coundil
****Vehicles would be standard and equipped with the latest technological
advancements which would in part be paid through grants not presently
available due to the use of subsidized vehicles.
**** Reduce the high risk of liability due to the present lack of visibility and
the lack of conformity of present vehicles used by the department.
**** High visibility is a proven deterrent to criminal activity.
**** All vehicles are take home marked and police package installed
**** Based on a budget of $ 3, 000, 000.00 this would equate to a
of $ 225,399. 00 agaisnt the HCPD figures supplied.

This study reflects the opinions of West Hawaii Crime
Stoppers, and was undertaken to assist the Mayor, Hawaii
County Council. HawainCounty Police Commission,
Hawaii County Police Department and the community.
INTRODUCTION
For many years West Hawaii Crime Stoppers have tried unsuccessfully to have the
County of Hawaii and the Police Department embrace the concept of using marked
police cars and introducing same as against the present subsidized private vehicles used.
WHCS began a drive just over a year ago with the, then, Chief James S. Correa, to
study the possibility but received no support and could not obtain the necessary figures
in order to check the feasibility of the project. Upon the resignation of Chief Correa
and the appointment of Lawrence K. Mahuna as Acting Chief, we requested through
Council member Curtis Tyler the relevant figures. These were supplied in October, 2002
and since that date WHCS has through articles in the West Hawaii Today and the
Hawaii Journal pursued this project very actively.
We recognize the purchase of a fleet of marked police cars represents a large expenditure
for any law enforcement agency but when it can be proven this would save the county
money then it must be considered.
Many mainland police departments can be checked to obtain operating figures and also
evaluations are available covering every type of automobile available with the police
package.
It appears there is opposition in the Hawaii County Police department to even consider
a study of the facts and this basically is the reason WHCS has completed this very short
study. The Board of Directors includes retired law enforcement officers with a great
deal of experience in the planning, selection of both automobiles and equipment for same.
We consider it essential the County of Hawaii realize that times have changed and it is
now time to move into the 21st century. With the increase in population, traffic and
crime it is essential we have the necessary: "Police Visibility" particularly in West Hawaii.
Public Safety is a must in every community and the fact that few residents write to the
press or even attend public hearings does not mean in any way, they are not interested.
West Hawaii Crime Stoppers not only runs the program to help solve crime and fund
raise to pay the necessary rewards but are also very concerned with public safety.
Unfortunately we still see the police administration finding excuses and making
statements to the effect that a fleet of marked police cars is too expensive without
studying the figures, already supplied and asking the necessary questions to move forward.
We urge all concerned in these days of restricted budgets to examine all ideas submitted
in order to not only reduce expenditure but also to ensure a better operation. This is the
duty of both public servants, and the public who most provide input.
(1)
RECOMMENDATIONS
**** The Hawaii County Police Department should
immediately commence the necessary investigation
and studies to determine actual costs, and other
details required to implement a possible fleet of
marked police cars for the County of Hawaii.
**** West HawanCrime Stoppers stand ready to assist
in every way with the study. We have experts among
our Directors who are ready to help in every way.
**** If the study supports our claim that funds can be
saved then a phase in and change from subsidized
vehicles should be planned. WHCS recommends
that detectives who will be driving unmarked police
cars under the WHCS plan be the last group who
receive police cars. This would also be true of
other members of the department who would be
driving unmarked cars. This we believe would
probably total around 120 cars, leaving 231 cars
required under the present total figures we have.
**** WHCS believes the 231 should be purchased the
first year and the balance required the second year.
**** Certain grants are not available if a subsidized vehicle
system is used and WHCS believes HCPD are
missing opportunities. If a decision is made to move to
fleet of marked police cars this needs good planning.
(2)
**** With the new police department administration fully
dedicated to working with the public who are very
concerned with the lack of visibility the move to a
fleet of marked police cars will provide a much needed
boost in the public view of the department.
**** Recommend the department use the key word
Police Cars on their computer and access the
page showing the police cars used in every state.
There are 51 and the noticeable omission is Hawaii.
**** The police department need an open mind on this
matter and initiate the research. General statements
such as "It will be too expensive" and that the present
system cars are easily identifiable must be avoided.
**** SHOPO the police union should be consulted and
included in any group formed to study this matter.
They also need an open mind.
**** A fleet of take home marked police vehicles will
contribute greatly towards advancing the concept
of community orientated policing, both in the
department and the neighborhood.
(3)
**** There would be police visibility and public would feel safer.
**** Since we are proposing a "Take home fleet" officers would
not only be on call but would have superior equipment.
**** The fleet would be uniform as opposed to the many different
types and colors of automobiles presently in use.
**** Visitors and residents can easily identify.
****Marked police automobiles with the police package installed
are safer, faster, and provide more safety to the officer.
**** Suitable for transportation of prisoners.
**** Modern fleets have a warranty of 100,000 miles.
**** Police officers who drive marked cars have more pride in
their job according to chiefs we have contacted.
**** Maintenance apart from lubes and simple jobs can be
contracted out. Further a planned program ensures the
automobiles are kept well maintained.
**** Liability insurance should be lower if marked cars are used
with the police package installed.
**** Equipment such as laptop computers, printers, fax machines
and up to date radio equipment can be installed.

STATEMENTS FROM HAWAII COUNTY POLICE
DEPARTMENT AND WHCS COMMENTS
**** 1T WOULD BE MORE EXPENSIVE TO HAVE A FLEET.
Comment: From our extensive research we do not think so
**** THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE TO ESTABLISH A MOTOR
POOL FOR MAINTENANCE.
Comment: The repair work should be contracted out. Only light
maintenance should be done in house.
**** DURING A NATURAL DISASTER OFFICERS WOULD
BE ABLE TO MOBILIZE FASTER.
Comment: West Hawaii Crime Stoppers are recommending
TAKE HOME POLICE CARS as practiced in many
mainland police departments. We would also point
out that in the case of a natural disaster the advantage
of properly marked police cars especially for tourists
to identify cannot be ignored as a major plus.
**** PRESENT BLUE STROBE LIGHT ONLY IS SUFFICIENT
TO IDENTIFY AS A POLICE CAR.
Comment: WHCS found this assertion to be ludicrous and find it
difficult to believe that any experienced senior officer
particularly an Assistant Chief would make such a
statement. Hawaii enjoys tourists from many countries
whose marked police cars use other than blue strobes.
The bar with red -white -blue flashing lights is best.
(s)
**** VISITORS SHOULD GET USED TO ONE BLUE LIGHT.
Comment: We feel the same as previous comment.
**** IT AVOIDS A WHOLE GAMUT OF PROBLEMS WITH
AVAILABILITY AND RESPONSE TIMES AND ITS
MUCH MORE COST EFFECTIVE.
Comment: With "Take Home" cars as WHCS is proposing these
concerns are not valid.
**** WE FIND THAT VEHICLES LAST LONGER WHEN THEY
ARE PERSONALLY OWNED.
Comment: From our study and discussions with mainland police
departments there is no evidence or statistics available
to support this statement. In fact with "Take Home"
vehicles as WHCS is proposing quite the opposite occurs
and officers demonstrate a great deal of pride.
**** HIGH VISIBILITY OF POLICE DOES NOT NECESSARILY
EQUATE TO LOWER CRIME, THUS, MERE PATROLLING
BY MARKED VEHICLES DOES LITTLE TO EFFECTIVELY
ADDRESS CRIME RATES.
Comment: This statement by the former police chief difers greatly
from the experience of many police chiefs we have contacted.
They state the very opposite. Recently in Honolulu we saw
five marked police cars at one time outside the sub police
station in Waikiki. The changes in that area from some years
ago are tremendous. If ex Chief Correa is correct why do
Honolulu Police Department maintain a policy of good
visibility? We did not see any crimes being committed and
at least two cars.were stationed in the area, day and nigh;

Michigan State Police Tests 2003
Patrol Vehicles
satrol vehicles are among the most
critical purchases that a law enforce-
ment agency makes. For both large
and small gencies, patrol vehicle purchases
L_frequentlq' epresent the second largest ex-
penditure, after personnel, in their annual
operating budgets. Selecting a vehicle that
balances both budgetary and performance
requirements has become an increasingly
challenging task for police fleet administra-
tors. Many agencies are painfully aware of
the consequences that result from being
"penny wise and pound foolish," where
vehicles with inadequate performance, such
as regular production passenger vehicles not
specifically designed for police service, are
selected because they cost less than police -
package vehicles. Although some agencies
have had limited success with nontraditional
police vehicles, most agencies find that the
increased maintenance costs resulting from
such vehicles breaking down under the
stress of police service quickly offset any
initial savings.
For more than 25 years, the Michigan State
Police (MSP) has conducted extensive evalua-
tions of the performance capabilities of each
new model year's police vehicles as part of its
annual vehicle procurement process. Since
1981, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ),
through its National Law Enforcement and
Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC)
system, has sponsored these tests through a
partnership with MSP. By disseminating these
(17)
results to State and local law enforcement
agencies, NIJ helps these agencies select vehi-
cles that maximize their budgets and ensures
that evaluated vehicles provide reliable and
safe performance under the increased
demands of police service.
The 2003 model year patrol vehicles were
evaluated from September 21 through 23,
2002. For the purposes of the MSP evalua-
tion, police -package vehicles are those that
are designed and manufactured for use in
the full spectrum of law enforcement patrol
service, including pursuits. A special -service
vehicle is a vehicle that may be used by law
enforcement agencies for specialized use
(e.g., off-road, inclement weather, K-9, or
commercial vehicle enforcement), but is not
designed or manufactured to be used in high
speed or pursuit situations. By creating this
distinction, it is hoped that it will be easier for
agencies to realistically assess the capabilities
of each vehicle.
Each vehicle is subjected to six major tests
and evaluations. The results are weighted to
reflect the relative importance of each attri-
bute as related to MSP operational require-
ments. Exhibit 1 lists the tests and point
scores. MSP scores each vehicle's overall
performance, reviews the manufacturer's
bid price, and calculates a final score for
each vehicle using a sophisticated formula
that combines both factors.

Four police -package vehicles and five special -service
vehicles were submitted for evaluation. Exhibit 2
provides a list and description of each vehicle. This
NLECTC bulletin contains a synopsis of the test re-
sults; a detailed report also is available. Page 8 of
this bulletin contains information on how to obtain
the report.
The MSP vehicle specifications, test categories, and
scoring reflect MSP needs. If your department employs
this or a similar method, consider your own needs
carefully and alter the weighting factors accordingly.
What's New for 2003
AM General: The AM General Hummer was once
again submitted for testing as a police -package vehicle.
There are no significant changes from the 2002 model.
Chevrolet: For the 2003 model year, the Impala is once
"again available in both the 9C1 police package and the
"_' 9C3 unmarked police package. One enhancement for
the 2003 model year is that the fuel cut-off has been
Exhibit 2 Vehicles tested
increased to 129 miles per hour (mph). Also, the follow-
ing items that were optional in previous years are now
standard:
• Engine oil cooler.
• External transmission oil cooler.
• Low frequency radio interference suppression.
• UT7 ground stud for the electrical system.
The Tahoe is again available in either a 2 -wheel -drive
(2WD) or 4 -wheel -drive (4WD) special -service pack-
age. In addition to the standard 4.8L (292 cid) engine,
the 5.31- (327 cid) engine, rated at 285 horsepower,
is an available option on both models. Also, several
upgraded interior amenities that had previously been
optional are standard in 2003, such as power win-
dows and rear air conditioning.
DaimlerChrysler: DaimlerChrysler's entry in the
2003 model year tests is the Dodge Intrepid sedan,
which was introduced in 2002 as the first police -
package sedan entered by DaimlerChrysler in the
MSP tests since the Dodge Diplomat in 1989. The
2003 Intrepid remains basically unchanged from
2002. Representatives of DaimlerChrysler's police
vehicle engineering team state that the power steer-
ing and antilock brake system (ABS) have been en-
hanced from the 2002 model, and side air bags and
remote keyless entry are now available as optional
equipment.
Ford: The 2003 Police Interceptor was introduced as
a midyear replacement in March 2002, and a prepro-
duction version was evaluated in 2002's tests. The 2003
models feature a new, hydroformed steel frame, which
Ford engineers state will improve the strength of the

frame and improve front-end crash performance. Also
new are the shocks, springs, suspension, and rack-and-
pinion steering. The brake system is all new, and ABS
is now standard. A new tire, the Goodyear Eagle RS–A
Plus, is featured, which Ford engineers say will im-
prove steering feel and wet and snow traction, and
has longer tread life. Powertrain improvements in-
clude a new variable speed electric fan for engine
cooling, and a knock sensor prevents detonation
from low -octane fuels.
New interior safety features for 2003 include a higher
head rest, which provides greater support behind the
head in a crash to prevent whiplash. For units pro-
duced after July 2003, side air bags will be standard
on vehicles equipped with power seats and optional
for vehicles equipped with manual seats. Ergonomic
interior improvements include adjustable cup holders
to accommodate a wide variety of cup sizes, and a
new power point below the cup holders provides a
location to plug in additional equipment. To assist in
installing aftermarket equipment such as emergency
lighting systems, radios, and computers, a new power
distribution box is standard in the passenger compart-
ment and optional in the trunk. It provides 10 fuse
locations to provide power to aftermarket equipment
and signal connections for 6 key functions.
A compressed natural gas (CNG) version of the
Police Interceptor will be available in January 2003.
However, Ford elected not to submit a CNG version
for testing for this model year. The 2003 CNG model
will feature the same 4.6L engine as the gasoline -
fueled Police Interceptor and will meet ultra-low
emission vehicle (LEVII) emission standards for
Green States and Ter 2, Bin 3 emission standards
for Federal applications.
No information was available from Ford at press time
regarding the Explorer and Expedition special -service
vehicles.
Vehicle Dynamics Testing
Objective: To determine high-speed pursuit handling
characteristics. The 2 mile road racing course contains
hills, curves, and corners; except for the absence of
traffic, it simulates actual pursuit conditions. The evalu-
ation measures each vehicle's blending of suspension
components, acceleration capabilities, and braking
characteristics.
Methodology: All vehicles are driven over the cc
a total of 32 timed laps by four separate drivers, e
one driving an 8 -lap series. The final score for the
vehicle is the combined average of the 5 fastest la
of each of the four drivers.
Exhibit 3 shows the average results of the vehicle
dynamics test.
Acceleration and Top -Speed

Top Speed
Objective: To determine each vehicle's speed at a dis-
tance of 1 mile and 2 miles and the actual top speed
attainable within a distance of 14 miles from a stand-
ing start.
Methodology: Following the fourth acceleration run,
the vehicle continues to accelerate to the top speed
attainable within 14 miles from the start of the run.
The highest speed attained within the 14 miles is the
vehicle's score on the competitive test.
Exhibit 4 summarizes the acceleration and top -speed
test results.
Braking Testing
Objective: To determine the deceleration rate attained
by each test vehicle on 12, 60 -to -0 mph impending skid
(threshold) stops, with ABS in operation if the vehicle is
so equipped. Each vehicle will be scored on the aver-
age deceleration rate it attains.
DaimlerChrysler submitted the Dodge Intrepid sedan for testing. The power steering and antilock
brake system have been enhanced.

Objective: To determine the deceleration rate attained
by each test vehicle on 12, 60 -to -0 mph impending skid
(threshold) stops, with ABS in operation if the vehicle is
so equipped. Each vehicle will be scored on the aver-
age deceleration rate it attains.
DaimlerChrysler submitted the Dodge Intrepid sedan for testing. The power steering and antilock
brake system have been enhanced.
(20 )

Methodology: Each vehicle will make two decelera-
tions at specific, predetermined points on the test
road from 90 to 0 mph at 22 ft/sec2, with the driver
using a decelerometer to maintain the deceleration
rate. Immediately after these heat -up stops are com-
pleted, the vehicle will be turned around and will
make six measured 60 -to -0 mph impending skid
(threshold) stops with ABS in operation, if the vehi-
cle is so equipped, at specific, predetermined points.
Following a 4 -minute heat soak, the entire sequence
will be repeated. The exact initial velocity at the be-
ginning of each of the 60 -to -0 mph decelerations
and the exact distance required to make each stop
will be recorded by means of a Datron Non -Contact
Optical Sensor in conjunction with a personal com-
puter. The data resulting from the 12 stops will be
used to calculate the average deceleration rate,
which is the vehicle's score for this test. Exhibit 5
shows the results of the braking test.
Ergonomics and
Communications
Objectives: To rate the vehicle's ability to provide
a suitable environment for patrol officers to perform
their job, to accommodate the required communica-
tions and emergency warning equipment, and to as-
sess the relative difficulty of installing the equipment::
Methodology: A minimum of four officers indep vsM
dently and individually score each vehicle on corn�6
fort and instrumentation. Personnel from MSP's ,,�
Communications Division who are responsible foram
new car preparation conduct the communications
portion of the evaluation, based on the relative diffi-
culty of the necessary installations. Each factor is
graded on a 1 -to -10 scale, with 1 representing tgtally'
unacceptable and 10 representing superior. Thel.scores'=
are averaged to minimize personal prejudice. Exhibit
6 shows a comparison of the exterior and interior

Fuel Economy
Objective: To determine fuel economy potential. The
scoring data are valid and reliable for comparison, but
may not necessarily be an accurate prediction of the
car's actual fuel economy.
Methodology: The vehicles' scores are based on
estimates of city fuel economy to the nearest 1/lo of
a mile per gallon from data supplied by the vehicle
manufacturers. Exhibit 8 shows the estimated Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency (EPA) fuel economy rat-
ings, rounded to the nearest whole number, for city,
highway, and combined driving conditions.
Exhibit 7 Results of ergonomics and
communications test
Manufacturer/Model Score
Note: Scores are the total points the automobile received for each of
the 29 attributes the MSP considers important in determining the
acceptability of the vehicle as a patrol car—for example, front seat
adjustability, clarity of instrumentation, and front and back visibility.
The higher the number, the better the vehicle scored.
