The cops in arizona are doing well!

The BP's Raptor's and some of the local law enforcement department's Raptor's were paid for by a grant through Homeland Security. From what I understand, each dept. is allowed a certain amount from DHS. Border Patrol is notorious for putting their vehicles through the ringer.....hence getting a vehicle that was designed for the environment they work in. Normal Tahoe's and F-150's don't stand a chance over time. Most of them will probably go to supervisors though.
To all of those saying it's a ridiculous waste of money.... I'm sure if you were a cop, and your patrol supervisor threw you a set of Raptor keys, and told you the truck was your new patrol unit... I'm SURE you would refuse to take it on the grounds it was a waste, and hand the keys back.
Or... maybe NOT! LOL
I agree the BP needs those trucks too. I've heard from some friends who worked for the BP, and they said their regular trucks were always breaking. And, their trucks are heavily modded to withstand the abusive terrain. Starting off with a Raptor seems like a great idea.

I see BP vehicles at auto shops almost every day. Ford usually has 5-10 waiting on work to get done.
OK, you win! LOL! I've seen Vette cop cars before. Anyone ever see a Ford GT cop car? :coolman:
