INSIDE DRPA & PATCO: Department Spotlight: Fleet Department - Keeping The Authority Rolling
Our Fleet Department is an essential part of our organization, keeping our entire range of vehicles in top condition so our teams can carry out their work safely and efficiently. From police interceptors and dump trucks to lawn mowers and specialized equipment, the Fleet team ensures that every vehicle we operate is ready for duty.
One of the biggest current projects our Fleet Department is handling is the upfitting of our new police interceptor vehicles. These vehicles require specialized installations to meet the unique needs of our police force. The upfitting process is no small feat -- it includes thorough work on both the vehicle's interior and the electrical systems, transforming a standard vehicle into a fully equipped police unit.
For the interior, our Fleet team installs a variety of components, from durable plastic rear seats and partitions to the front push bumpers. These features are specifically chosen for durability and safety. The team also takes on complex electrical work, wiring the vehicles to support police equipment and lighting, including the laptop, siren, and various emergency lights that are essential for operations.
This project exemplifies the expertise and commitment our Fleet Department brings to every task. Their efforts ensure seamless operations and that our teams are equipped and ready, whatever the road ahead may bring.
