Darien Police recently up-fitted their 2021 police cars with a new graphics package, said Captain Jeremiah Marron of the department s Field Services Bureau.
The former and more simple black and white graphics have been in place for almost a decade and were originally designed for the Chevrolet Caprice model that the Patrol Division used to replace the Ford Crown Victoria which is no longer manufactured, Marron said.
The smaller Chevrolet presented several challenges for daily police work and the decision was made by the department to move to the SUV-based Ford Police Interceptor Utility in 2013.
