 EUGENE, OR (OFP) The Eugene Police Department is about ready to bite the dust - officials say the life of their current Crown Victorias is about five years on patrol, the department is once looking to update their patrol fleet. The current Crown Vic's have been discontinued. The city purchased a brand new Dodge Charger for about $2,000 less that the asking price for the Crown Vic, the department said.
The department also plans to test patrol units from Chevy and Ford. So far officers on the streets say, the Charger is a good ride and test results have showed it has performed well. The Chager is a tad smaller than the Crown Victoria's currently on patrolling city streets.
EPD expects the new Charger to be on the job as early as this weekend.

Baldwin is not entirely leaving the scene of the crime, he and several staff members from IBN have decided to reamin behind and form a new incident notification network - Incident Alerts, he said. "The new service will allow us to start fresh and bring new ideas, we've been working on since the beginning of IBN", he said.
