My son lives in Aurora, Co. A suburb of Denver.
I had heard Aurora purchased 60 Caprice PPVs.
So I told him to snap me a picture if he saw one.

Re: Police car spotted
Sacramento and CHP still has Crown Vics and Chargers and Honda motorcycles. When I was in a car accident 2 years ago, I asked the policeman if they were getting new cruisers and he said Sacramento went with the Taurus. When I picked my 9C1 up in Washington, I had to drive through Oregon to get home. Oregon State has Caprices for their patrol vehicle. On the way home, nobody would pass me up and I was doing the speed limit. When I traveled in the left lane, people would immediately move to the right lane.
Re: Police car spotted
Charlotte NC has recently added Caprices to their City Patrol Car fleet. A fellow club member posted a picture of one on my Facebook page and then last week I saw one on the road.

Re: Police car spotted
We are watching Bones on TV, just saw a Caprice PPV 9C1.
I've been seeing more on TV since I've been looking for them.

Re: Police car spotted
Interesting that cars that aren't supposed to be in civilian hands end up in TV shows (as cop cars in this case).....Chevy is a sponsor on Hawaii Five-O, and they use Camaro, Cruze, Silverado and possibly Equinox, and feature HPD Impalas, but I don't know that a PPV has been on the show yet.bkwagonss wrote:We are watching Bones on TV, just saw a Caprice PPV 9C1.

Re: Police car spotted
The Aurora cars were all over world news during a certain incident last year. Aurora was one of the early adopters.
Many other departments around Denver have been known to use Caprices, including Glendale, Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, Thornton and Sheridan. CO state police are at least trying them out.
Maui county, HI has them.
Two Caprices were bought and used as 'NYPD' vehicles for the TV show 'Touch'.

Re: Police car spotted
If you look carefully in the TV show "Castle" on ABC -- usually at the crime scenes you will see a marked NYPD Caprice PPV in the background somewhere. You have to look carefully, it's usually a quick scene, often a panning shot. They use Chargers for unmarked cars in the show. But that lone Caprice is always lurking. it's been in every episode for the past year or so. If I were to venture a guess, I imagine GM gave them this car on loan for publicity or something.

Re: Police car spotted
Not sure if it's the same car you mention, but these are the 'Touch' cars being photographed by Douglas Sonders alongside the '70 Charger from Fast And Furious (2001).

Omaha, Nebraska put 40 black and whites into service the last 2 months. They are on a lease program with 40 more units a year for the next 2 years.
