Cars of Fallen Officers

Q: What does the department do with the cars of fallen officers? I have wondered this since way back when Paul Deguch was killed. Do you just renumber them for reissue? I think it might be an honor to drive a fallen officer's car but then I think it would be kind of creepy
knowing that they responded to their last call in that vehicle.

A: The vehicles of fallen officers have typically been reassigned after being renumbered in the past. Older vehicles that may be near the end of the service life may also just be retired altogether.
