IN CITY COUNCIL MAY 27, 2015 P SID>j7 - 0) �% A-)�" CITY CLERK BANGOR POLICE DEPARTMENT i� TO: Government Operations Committee FR: Mark Hathaway RE: Police Car Donation Request DT: May 14, 2015 15-185 MAY 27, 2015 240 Main Street Bangor, Maine 04401 207-947-7382 Fax 207-945-6824 Eastern Maine Community College.(EMCC) recently requested that we consider donating a patrol car to their Criminal Justice program once it is no longer in use and removed from service. The Criminal Justice program utilizes local police officers as instructors, to include officers from the Bangor Police Department, and has an interest in utilizing a previously used patrol car for instructional purposes. EMCC understand that the patrol car will not include all of the equipment, such as a light bar, radio and mobile computer but will include items that are not transferrable to a new patrol car such as the protective cage, special rear seat and other similar items. EMCC will design a logo for the patrol car that will acknowledge that it was donated by the Bangor Police Department. Staff supports the request to consider the donation. The police department anticipates removing two older patrol cars from use in late June or early July.
