Blackwood <br /> 106 East Margaret Lane <br /> Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br /> Hillsborough Chapel Hill <br /> (919)644 3050 (919)942 6300 Fax(919)732-6403 <br /> As for the style and type of motor units, we have selected the Harley Davidson Motor <br /> Unit. The decision to utilize Harley Davidson was made for many reasons. The Harley <br /> Davidson is American made and considered to be a traditional unit for Sheriff's Offices <br /> across the nation. Also, many of our neighboring agencies currently employ the use of <br /> Harley Davidsons. Durham County Sheriff Mike Andrews, who currently utilizes Harley <br /> Davidson units, has agreed to partner with us in enforcement efforts and has even <br /> offered loaner units if the need arises. This partnership will enhance our visibility and <br /> effectiveness and provide a continuity of service and performance that will certainly <br /> jumpstart our efforts as we put this program in service. Lastly, our research has found <br /> that the initial cost and maintenance of the Harley Davidson Brand is considerably <br /> lower than that of the BMW brand. <br />
