The police department in Jacksonville, Ala., donated these two second-hand Ford Crown Victoria police cruisers to the Ringgold, Ga., Police Department.RINGGOLD, Ga. – Two police cars that were retired from Jacksonville, Ala., soon should be patrolling the streets of Ringgold.
With 70,000 miles on one cruiser’s odometer and 110,000 miles on the other’s, the Ford Crown Victorias were deemed too worn to stay in service by Jacksonville standards.
So the Alabama city donated the cars to Ringgold, where Police Chief Dan Bilbrey is happy to have them.
“These are used — but new to us,” Bilbrey said. “It’s not costing us a penny.”
Getting the donated Ford Crown Victorias means Ringgold can retire two of its cruisers, one of which has 170,000 miles and the other 241,000 miles.
