Vehicles
TPD has a fleet of over 70 vehicles, including marked and unmarked patrol cars (most of which are Chevrolet Impalas), undercover vehicles, sport utility vehicles, Community Service Officer vehicles, motorcycles, ATVs, golf carts, two crime scene vans, a SWAT truck, and many other vehicles necessary for responding to the multitude of different calls for service it receives.
The Chief of Police has begun driving an unmarked Chrysler 300, which was seized from a criminal. Titusville also has confiscated vehicles that are used for investigations as well as senior staff cars.
The various vehicles used by the Titusville Police Department include the Ford Crown Victoria, Chevy Impala, Chevy Tahoe, Harley Davidson motorcycles, Chevy Vans, Ford custom build Mobile Command Center.
The current fleet of the Titusville Police Department is mostly Impalas with a couple of Ford Crown Victorias. The department changed its marking scheme in October 2010 to a more up to date look. The current markings were picked from several designs. The current design is used on all new vehicles that are issued to officers. The current markings are also used on the department's Traffic Unit cars. These markings are often referred to as 'ghost markings' as they are hard to see until you are on top of the patrol car.

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)
