SpoolinX2 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Speaking of the Interceptors, I seen a local WV State Police version last week. My friend who's a trooper said that WV ordered 88 of them, full optioned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhenne4 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I saw one in North Louisiana. He saw my badging and floored it to come up beside me and we shared a nod of appreciation of each other's SHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 After all of the nonsense revolving around their purchases (of which I will not go into), our agency has finally begun receiving our Taurus PI's...... Although not finished yet, here's an image of one of 'em them camping out inside our public Works Facility where Fleet Maintenance Staff are diligently plugging away at installing all of the lighting, radios, cameras, laptop, etc....... Non Turbo'd version, but I suspect most suburban municipal agencies will NOT opt in for the turbo'd versions anyhow. Either way, it oughta be fun piloting a '13 P.I. Taurus once they are released for street / patrol use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoolinX2 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Decked out in WV form, and I believe all 88 I mentioned above are the boosted versions from what I'm told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Yea, most State Agencies will opt IN for the turbo'd variants (for obvious reasons)..... However, most Suburban Municipal agencies will opt OUT of the turbo'd P.I.'s. Mostly due to cost(s) but also due in part, to the highly restrictive nature of current pursuit policies in effect. Cool pic btw..... i'll have to snatch up a few more, as more agencies nearby are also taking delivery of their own new Taurus P.I.'s..... Pretty cool all the way around :thumb: Speaks volumes not only of the product itself, but also of Ford's commitments and dedication to the Law Enforcement Profession.

mjhpadi Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I've only seen one of the PI's and that was at the local communications dealer that does most of the radio work for most departments. It was still plain white and had no markings at all. Not sure where it was being delivered. No sign of any of in Pennsylvania State Police markings or in unmarked use that I've seen. I've been hoping to see one in use, but no sighs of any yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Our agency has finally begun taking delivery of the new 2013 Taurus PI's...... This one just got released into the fleet yesterday. Although this one, and the 1st few are being assigned for Supervisor use exclusively..... Still, pretty cool nonetheless. I'm kinda dig'n on those all black painted door handles...... Things that make you go hhmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjhpadi Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I am beginning to see on our news that several of the Sheriff's Departments and a few of the police departments in counties surrounding mine have taken delivery of the new PI. I was surprised to hear from a LEO friend that he felt that the new Chevy was more comfortable then the Taurus. I was really surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortytheFirefighter Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Our local PD has been taking delivery of their Taurus PI vehicles, they went with 6 total, 4 marked and two unmarked. All 6 are the turbocharged AWD models. They also have a few Hemi Chargers and we still have a couple of CVPI left as well. They've also gotten two of the pursuit rated Explorer models. Our city is good about keeping us in great equipment, whether it is fire trucks or police vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrcbob Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Just returned from a round trip to Western New York and back to Florida. All I saw were Dodge Chargers (quite a few) and fewer CVPI's. Saw no Taurus PI's (not that I want to see ANY PI's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD13SHO Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I just saw my first one today. In the Black Hills, a South Dakota Trooper in a Silver Grey Metallic PI. He was writing a citation on another car, so I didn't stop to take pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mval Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Only seen 1 of our suburbs have Ford police model. They are dark blue w/ body wrap. Very sharp otherwise my my county has white Chargers & my burb has silver Chargers. Boring!!!!!!!! Although I have seen the county with some new Explorers in last couple of weeks. Nice but not the same effect. MikeV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoBoostSHO Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I am seeing a ton of Tauruses (plural of Taurus??) and explorers running around. My son thinks they look bad@ss...He just turned 16 and is driving so hopefully he won't end up meeting one up close and personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shobiz Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I just saw my first one today. In the Black Hills' date=' a South Dakota Trooper in a Silver Grey Metallic PI.

Trying to catch one while they're relaxing so I can get their opinion of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpfarrell Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 The City of Pittsburgh has a number of them now and I've seen more and more in the local communities as well. I think the AWD will be very helpful on our snowy hills. I think the new Tauri PI makes the CV look old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen many on my side of the state, none that I've seen in Williamsport or that area. May well be some around the Harrisburg area, but I haven't been down that way for quite a bit.

mjhpadi Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 One of my instructor (scuba instructor trainer) friends was just telling me that his department is going with the new Chevrolet, that they liked the seating position better then the Taurus. That kinda surprised me, but then again, I haven't been in a Chevy cruiser for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
