Over the past week or so the Batavia Police Department has taken delivery of two new cruisers.
The cars are based on the Ford Taurus but are officially known as Police Interceptors. The models are specifically designed for police work with all-wheel drive, specially designed traction control and suspension and special safety features for officers.
Batavia purchased the vehicles as part of a bid arranged by the county at a base cost of $23,000 each. The Sheriff's Office also has three of the vehicles on order.
Two Crown Victorias in the police fleet were used as trade-ins on the new vehicles.
Pictured with the cruisers are Officer Kevin DeFelice, left, and Officer Marc Lawrence.
