Police Get New Cruiser Many WPI car owners are all too familiar with seeing the campus police’s green Ford Fairmont pulled alongside their car as one of WPI’s men in blue issues yet another parking ticket. This year the police department added new excitement and diversity to their ticket-issuing tasks when they purchased a new blue $8,100 Chevrolet cruiser complete with ostentatious decals, riot cage, light bar, siren, radio, V-6 engine and heavy-duty suspension. Al Whitney, WPI’s chief of police, asserted that the cost of the vehicle was comparable to the Massachusetts Council purchase price of a police vehicle. He explained that this is the first fully packaged cruiser the department has owned. In 1974 the department used a station wagon which doubled as an ambulance and a cruiser .When Worcester expanded its ambulance service, it was no longer necessary to use a station wagon and a mid-size car became the offical vehicle. The new features found on the packaged cruiser, such as alley lights, a light bar and a siren will be very useful in emergency situations. 23
