On topic: Giving CHP a K9 car would be overkill, as either LASD has a decent response time to the CHP patch.
I just love the thought of having dogs chasing baddies, that would be just like on COPS.

Offtopic: The CHP doesn't just cover the highways, they are the California State Police. I read about it on wiki.

I agree on the CHP part of a k-9 unit, tho once the functionality is there, would make it easy to make additional highway missions possibly that would involve the CHP more heavily in the future, possibly a drug interdiction or something even.
I think the poster sees the same thing I do locally, that the FHP has a very reduced role, doesn't mean they don't have the authority but in NE FLA they rarely get involved in anything outside of a state roadway or highway. I'm pretty sure in Tallahasee they have a much larger role due to the state offices and legislature and a greater drug interdiction role in south florida/miami area, While no nonsense when you encounter one, from NE FL to Orlando they appear to be highway watchdogs and most known for their wolfpack traffic operation stings.

I like the idea of an SUV... The pickup that LAPD uses is a ford F150 and the second with the more chromed grille is a 250, though I am sure you could read that.. I don't want any more crown vics, it's too much. I like the iea of either an SUV or a pickup, and I think it should be LASD because there is only 3 of those, and too many LAPD in comparison
I only see one f-series and that's the 250..., doesn't really matter tho.

Hmmm, I just found the following two photos
I am not creating Bomb K9, but that Bomb K9 SUV will also do for normal K9 (public order enforcement dog) I guess.
Can someone tell the make and type of that SUV? Looks like a Toyota.
I am not sure what the purpose of the white F150 is, Code2High mentions it under K9. Never saw it before.

Looks like a 98/99 maybe 00 Ford Explorer
I would use LAPD or LASD it doesn't much matter to me. but the SUV would be the better idea, to many CV's

Gets my vote. The S&R SUV is pretty much the same the suv pictured.

Not as much as you'd think... FHP has sort of a downplayed role. I could be wrong, I know we've got a member whos with FHP.

They do some drug interdiction.. they do some check points, they mostly work accidents, and stuff like that. I don't ever see them around here though. I know they've got a tactical team, which probably helps with drug interdiction stuff.

That was the same SUV that you used in v2.5 of Em3. If you guys looked close enough you could see K-9 on the back side door in the unit pic. I say LAPD SUV.Hmmm, I just found the following two photos

BTW LAPD K-9s respond faster than LASD K-9s.

Yes, I think it's an older Ford Explorer.
It is indeed an older Ford Explorer. There is actually a law in California (I saw it in an article about the Crown Vic) that states no Law Enforcement agency here can use foreign made vehicles. I will try to find this law and at least put a link to it here.
This is why although a Camry or 4Runner is much more efficient than a CV or Expedtion, we don't see them in police service.

Unless it's an LASD contract city, in which case the LAPD won't even respond.

Thats not always true. This could be looked at from both real life and the mod.BTW LAPD K-9s respond faster than LASD K-9s.
IRL: If its an area near city limits LASD could just as easily respond faster. Depends on where the units are when there dispatched.
Mod: If you need a K-9 near the hospital LASD would be quicker since they spawn in that top right corner of the map.
Odd law, but this could possibly be argued since theres a Toyota Plant about 20-30 minuetes from where i live. Thing is so huge it almost needs its own zip code lol. I forget what there making now. At one time it was Tundras I think, then the Sequoia and now I think there making the highlander.It is indeed an older Ford Explorer.

And I find the comment about a Camry being more efficient too black and white. Most agencies choose the CV because of its power and the fact that it's real wheel drive which is in line with the pursuit training officers receive and components made for the CV are more readily available due to it's longer service life. Most agencies actually view the Impala as a downgrade due to it being FWD, hence why you see many more chargers in highway patrol and more speed/pursuit oriented agencies. It's part of the reason why GM is bringing back the caprice aka Pont G8 as a police vehicle. High power, zeta platform (camaro platform) and RWD, gogo LS2. Camry might be more efficent for the small municipality that doesn't deal with a pursuit angle, but that's why you see CHP and FHP going to the charger from the CV since it's being phased out. The CV's replacement will be a new FWD Taurus which I don't think have agencies overjoyed, hence, welcome back Caprice and Charger.
Foreign car.... for some reason a volvo doesn't quite have that same image that gets projected as the others...lol

Tho that image causes me to want to hurl...lol And they were not seized vehicles unfortunately...
better watch out the thread is getting quite off topic here lol
