No doubt many of you have
already begun seeing Dodge Charger police cruisers patrolling your neighborhoods. As soon as Michelle Wingard of
Amherst, OH (population 14,000) saw a Charger with a light bar trolling in her neck of the woods she made a B-line to
the precinct to get a closer look. Thanks to the openness of the Amherst Police Department the resulting article is a
terrific look at how officers are reacting to the new sheriff in town.
If the law boys in Amherst are
anything to go by, the Charger police cruiser is a big hit with its 5.7L HEMI V8, spacious interior and
tight-yet-comfortable handling. The only niggle one sergeant mentioned was the car’s habit of briefly pausing
when quickly shifting into Reverse, which Wingard witnessed first hand as the officer turned the car around to chase
down a speeding Ford Escape on their test drive.
Kudos to Wingard for a great read that comes off less like
overthought automotive journalism and more like talking to your best bud about cars.
