Vehicles
Over the years, the sheriff's office's marked vehicles have sported unusual paint schemes. Originally, they were the traditional black and white, then they were painted a pink-salmon color. In the mid-1970s, the vehicles were done in a green-and-white color scheme. They have now returned to the black-and-white color scheme. The department also had a few all-white cars along with the Duffy Green cars, but these were for Traffic Enforcement only.

Famous quotes containing the word vehicles:
“Television programming for children need not be saccharine or insipid in order to give to violence its proper balance in the scheme of things.... But as an endless diet for the sake of excitement and sensation in stories whose plots are vehicles for killing and torture and little more, it is not healthy for young children. Unfamiliar as yet with the full story of human response, they are being misled when they are offered perversion before they have fully learned what is sound.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“Only by the supernatural is a man strong; nothing is so weak as an egotist. Nothing is mightier than we, when we are vehicles of a truth before which the state and the individual are alike ephemeral.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
