Alderman O’Brien
Thank you, as we have heard and just to familiarize us again, this is replacing a Ford Interceptor that was
involved unfortunately in an accident. It is a first line piece for the Police Department. It responds on 911
Emergencies and it is definitely needed by the fleet to complete the Police Department's Mission and |
hope you all join me in joining in favor of this. And | see Deputy Chief Testaverde is also here and | am
sure he is here to speak on it, if there are further questions. Thank you Madam President.
President Wilshire
