NEED: The Sheriff's Department presently operates a fleet of seventeen vehicles. They are used in the following capacities: Patrol two vehicles Investigation four vehicles Supervision three vehicles Undercover two vehicles Transportation one vehicle Civil duty two vehicles Backup/crime three vehicles prevention The undercover vehicles are acquired through court confiscation and should not be included in any replacement schedule. The two civil duty vehicles are assigned to two deputies, who serve papers full-time. These cars do not need to be replaced at this time. The transportation vehicle is a van used to transport prisoners, and also does not need to be replaced at this time. The remainder of the vehicles are used for patrol and crime investigation activities. The present policy for the replacement of these vehicles is for newly purchased vehicles to be placed on patrol or with investigators, where the high mileage use occurs. Mid-sized ve- hicles are necessary because of response time and deputies comfort while in the car eight hours a day. As new vehicles are acquired, the older ones are delegated to supervisory personnel and as backups. Backup vehicles are necessary because of the downtime the front line vehicle experience due to their high mileage. The minimum number of vehicles that should be replaced is two, so that the vehicles presently being used for patrol can be placed in activities not requiring as much mileage. Two of the least efficient vehicles would then be removed from the de- partments fleet. Since vehicles used by investigators also put in high mileage, two other vehicles should be replaced in the near future. Given the current and pro- jected miles driven and age of the vehicles the schedule for replacement of the Sheriff's vehicles should be as follows: FY 1981-82: Cax #8, Car #11 (to replace two patrol vehicles) FY 1982-83: Car #9, Car 415, Car #2 and Car #10 (to replace two patrol vehicles and two investigator vehicles) Car #7 (to replace one civil vehicle) Car #12 (to replace transportation van) FY 1983-84: Car #1, Car #4, Car #3, Car #13 (to replace two patrol vehicles and two investigator vehicles) Car #14 (to replace one civil vehicle)
