SHELTON — The city is putting more money into its fleet of police vehicles.
The Board of Aldermen, at its meeting Thursday, unanimously approved spending an additional $58,817 — in addition to the $150,000 already spent on the purchase of new patrol cars — for updated lighting and radios for the vehicles.
Overall, the city spent $125,732 on four Dodge Durango vehicles from Northwest Hills Automotive LLC, with $47,200 to fully outfit the vehicles; $13,765 for four Motorola radios; $19,060 for four Panasonic Toughbook 33 computers; and $3,060 for required police department logos for each of the vehicles.
These funds — as well as the $150,000 was approved at the aldermen’s June 11 meeting — will come from aldermanic bonding.
