Cruiser makeover

Orono PD's cruisers have a new look

By Katy England

ORONO - Orono Police Department's police cruisers received a makeover. Though the Crown Victorias are still a dark blue, the lettering is bigger, bolder and reflective. There is also an Orono badge prominently featured towards the front of the vehicles.

Captain Josh Ewing noted that the idea for the new graphics came up the ranks of the police department, and they exchanged ideas with Tony Sullivan. But as they researched it, they came across Law and Order Magazine's Vehicle Graphics contest. There is no national standard for emergency vehicles, but the magazine laid out some guidelines.

"[They suggest] reflective striping for high visibility and that the word 'police' is prominent ... with clear and distinct lettering so it stands out as an emergency vehicle," said Ewing.

Ewing said the department plans to enter their cruiser design in the Vehicle Graphics contest through Law and Order magazine in 2011.
