Police Expo Owners

[BakerEdition]

O.K. I was thinking about a section for us owners that Expeditions that were former police or government vehicles...so please respond to the pole only if your Expedition was owned and used by police or government. We will classify them as Generation 1, 2 , 3 to present

My truck was owned by a TN county sherriffs department but it was an undercover unit. drug squad I would guess. It has extremely dark window tinting and still has the wires for the police radio equipment just not the radios.
The original poster should have asked how many people own an Expy with the Police package.

I would have done that except some folks who maybe have purchased for the second or third owner my not have a clue...I know if you were to look at mine you would never be able to tell....but yes for those of you who know that you have a police package Expo please vote...

I have the original window sticker and it list all the equipment and options and it does not say anything about Police Package on the build sheet. It is a nicely equiped ride and it was well taken care of. I hope to have it for a long time.

Pictures please...if you take it to the local ford dealer and give them the Vin# and ask them to run it...it will tell you on that if it was fleet ordered..Mine did...not to mention the exact build date and all the options..nice to have for reference...

Baker, My Digital Camera is missing, so the pictures will have to wait till I find it. I see on the original build sheet that it was delivered to a dealership in Michigan but I know often times that dealers swap unsold vehicles. I ran the Vin number on CarFax and I am the 2nd owner. I know from formerly working for a governmental entity in NC that they often times at the end of the year buy left over vehicles from dealerships at reduced prices and I know that the City I worked for often times bought for the police as many as 200 cars and SUV's for their detectives and Patrol divisions and other city departments. The 2 Ford dealers that usually won the bids kept Police Package vehicles in their inventory because they also often times won the bids for units from other law enforcement agencies. The city I worked for has over 800 sworn officers so they buy a lot of vehicles. The reason I know this is I did building maintenance at all the buildings and facilities and I was friends with many officers including the Chief. They sold all their old vehicles through the State Surplus Agency and sometimes people could buy a used vehicle dirt cheap.

Thats how it was in Michigan they had a state and county contract...and agencies could piggy back of those because the prices were right because of the mass amount of units ordered....I believe all Expeditions police or non were built in Wayne Michigan and then shipped the ordering dealers...I seen thats were mine was built and then shipped to California...I see the DSO order number on the door...I have attached my spec sheets and if you can see them...you can read where it says "special service" Do your dome lights work when you open the doors?

Yeah why not, 90% of the people that buy old used police cars are drug dealers anyways
