So cool!! Those are built at the Chicago Ford plant. They are the only company to build a police car with everything, but the laptop. I work for a subcontractor that does maintenance work at the plant, and they put them through very rigorous testing. Congrats on the new ride, you deserve it!
Hi I’m just starting the academy and have been noticing us smaller officers having a harder time fully restraining suspects. Would you be able to make a video in the near future on how to properly handcuff and secure the suspect for us female officers out there?
hello stefanie, I am studying to join the police force in Brazil, the standard police vehicles, not the specialized ones, do not have half of these equipment, because of the costs, it is wonderful and I have the maximum admiration and respect for the police forces and Thank you for sharing.
I’ve worked on all sorts of police vehicles. Hands down my favorite and the favorite of officers is the Durango. Everyone loves it. Perfect size in between of the explorer and Tahoe, doesn’t handle like a truck and is fast. (Not sure engine specs but I’m told the Durango is better in speed/maneuverability, in officers opinions) Definitely more legroom and storage. Once they get a reputation I will definitely see them replacing the explorers. I know departments (mostly rural) that got rid of their explorers and tahoes for the Durango. Edit- just realized I that all these new features you say have been around so long I consider them standard. We do a lot of more wealthier/smaller departments who can afford to get the nice stuff for everyone
Durango doesnt fare as well in safety crash testing as the Ford. Civilian '23 version has higher rollover risk. Also Police Inceptor Utility is rated to take a rear hit at 75 mph. I've seen video of an officer take a hit from someone behind doing highway speeds and the officer was fine.
Interesting how your Police Interceptor Utility still has the factory seats still in place even with the plexiglass barrier. Most of the police vehicles up fitted at least in OR have the factory seats removed and replaced with hard cover plastic. Is there an advantage to using the factory padded seats to transport prisoners than a hard cover plastic transport seat?
Awesome video, we have the same ford police interceptors where I work as Campus Safety, and they're nice, but I prefer the previous generation as I think they're a little more comfortable when wearing gear.
Awesome video!! My friend with the New Orleans Police Department just got his new 2022 FPIU take home car the other day it's amazing and I love the new car smell
As you have the steering wheel mount selector these models don't have the option of over riding the automatic gearbox (Like a Plus or Minus function) so to get them moving off quickly again after slowing down to clear a junction or intersection you have to use very heavy Kickdown briefly then the auto gearbox wakes up and gets the job done after that for you
I’m in a 2021 explorer and your right about the acceleration it’s terrible, slow down to clear an intersection and it falls on its face and won’t get going again.
😳😳😳🫣🫣🫣😬😬😬😩😩😩😱😱😱😰😰😰 I've always praised Fords for their get up and go, I have a 19 F150 and it's never given me any issues but I also don't have to do what ya'll do
Inside my patrol unit I still have the MDT Toughbook and I have my LED lights in the windshield some on the dashboard the rest of my lights in the back of the window turn on the rear view mirror one of my units have a cage and the rest of them don't I drive a ghost letter an unmarked unit Dodge Charger in a Chevy Tahoe. Also I keep my traffic's vest in the back with my AR-15 in my 12-gauge.
I just recently picked up a 2013 ford interceptor utility, and i have to say that i absolutely love it. Was a Missouri Park Rangers vehicle, still has some of the fun stuff (lightbar, controller box, PA system, etc), and it obviously had a pretty easy life. I plan on turning it into an Umbrella Corporation security vehicle and take it to car shows and conventions 😁
@kentapley9315 lol! I'm not a cop, actually. I just found an old cop car for sale, and so I'm going to turn it into an Umbrella Corporation security vehicle, from Resident Evil.
I used to like the old school RCMP cars with the 12guage pump action shotgun mounted in the front. It was super visible and it made you think "these guys mean business". Apparently one of the shotguns went off accidentally blasting a hole through the roof. The 12guage was then relocated to the trunk of the car.
Nothing more exciting than new squad day, my dad was on the job untill 2014 I would get so excited when new squad day came as a youngster. Dad got a new one every 4 years. I just recently changed to a Toyota Camry from a Chevy Trax for a Pov, honestly when this car is done I wanna go back to an SUV, not sure what but I sure miss the room.
Got excited seeing a new video‼️ then got sad when I seen 5 minutes😂 love the videos keep up the great work on and off RUclips👏🏽 inspiration to us all on our journeys & stay safe💙💙💙
Thanks for your video, I have a 2011 P7B Crown Victoria ( ex Long Beach California) and a 2016 police suv utility. I agree the Crown Victoria will be missed.
if you got the hybrid the acceleration sucks. The new tahoes feel like they wanna fall over .,. and so many blind spots I hate them Im the police mechanic.. I work on all the fun stuff. our cars have plastic rear seats so you can slide noncooperative people in easily. Gratz on the sweet ride.
I'm actually looking to join my local City Police Department. But I got some working on myself to do. Such as addressing my ADHD and getting proper treatment so I can focus and function better, getting my associates in criminal justice though not required, and getting into shape. Might even join a volunteer fire and ems agency or other volunteer organization and get some certifications to strengthen my candidate profile.
Hi Stefanie good morning happy Thursday morning and I hope you having amazing week and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
Funny that on the fire extinguisher it’s written 110. That’s the German emergency number for police 😂 (We have Police (110) and Fire/EMS (112) dispatched separately).
Very nice tour of the Police Interceptor utility based on the current generation Explorer yes as for law enforcement agencies they did ask if they would bring back the Crown Victoria and the answer is no
Yeah nothing was clunkier than the Tahoe which took FOREVER to accelerate. Some departments are still running Chargers, one or two Tauruses, but most are Utility
Very soon I'm about to switch my personal off-duty vehicle patrol unit that I have for my construction traffic to a Ford explorer soon the Dodge charger transmissions keep going out.
We have Fords and they are clunky as well and there is a second or two delay when you try to accelerate. Our department couldn't even get new Fords, which is why we're switching to Durangos. So far, the Durango build quality compared to the Ford is night and day difference. If I could, I'd talk to your upfitter and offer a few suggestions to him. Switch your radio and your pathfinder. Your radio should be set to the ignition and won't really need to be manipulated too frequently since I'm assuming it also scans. Your pathfinder is right next to your cup holder and it will be a pain to reach. I'd also buy the appropriate bracket for your radar. That suction cup isn't going to hold if you're ever in a wreck and it's going to be a projectile. I'd also get some transport seating, although that's an added cost. Lastly, I'd remove those car mats. They are made from the factory with the vinyl/rubber flooring so you don't need a mat. In emergency driving conditions, I wouldn't want anything that could interfere with the accelrator or brake pedal. Also, when you put your pathfinder into the third switch, that's usually "pursuit" mode, which includes white light. I think your should have it reprogrammed.
That’s cool you got a new car to drive. Wish you got the Ford explorer ST twin turbo. You would love that one more since that one is high performance model with 430 hp and 467 lbs of torque. You would be able to catch the bad guys quickly. Happy you got a new car now. It’s awesome with all the gear you have in them. 👍👍👍
@TheStefanieeRose. Stefaniee: if you had a choice of police vehicles Which or what brand would you like to have that would be more suitable for police work. And don't you think all police vehicles should be bullet proof to provide maximum protection for police officers in today's violent society.
your police cruiser walk-through is so nice...you have a nice voice and take your time to show and tell each section. Now all the patrol vehicle is missing is radar dome and mini gun on the roof =P
A friend of mine & I were driving through a neighbourhood, and accidentally went through a Stop Sign at a T intersection. Got pulled over by a Cop. But hey, mistakes happen to everyone.
They should have bought the Ford Police Interceptor Utility Vehicle, it's the fastest and quickest police car made and it's heavy which makes it good for pit maneuvers.
This is the door this is the is the radio this is the seat this is the screen this is the rifle this is the steering wheel…..this is where we transport people I was wandering how u guys transported detainees.
Hello from Germany. I love your Videos. Amazing an interesting. One question : Here in Germany the police Radio is digital and you can not hear it with an radio scanner. How is that in america ? Is it also digital an not free to hear with an Radio Scanner or is it allowed to hear the Transmissions and possible with an Radio Scanner ? Do you also have cb radio in your car ? Lovely greetings from Germany
Hello Stefanie, I watch a lot of arrest videos and there is always a sound - like a buzzer or smartphone vibration sound - bzzi bzzi. Similar to the one you get with incoming sms on silent mode. Does it come from a phone or a radio? I thought it could simply be smartphone, but its quite loud.
I would say that’s the only upside to have pool cars, they stay a little cleaner and organized. My take homes end up getting cluttered because I covered 3,500 sq miles and often was the only one on. So my cars had every from changes of clothes to food to plaster for evidence collection of foot prints. Got a lot worse when I made K9 and had tubs of K9 gear and training aids I had to find somewhere to fit in an F250.
I love cop cars they are just, different. I know they are beefed up to handle more than a regular explorer but I’d love to own a used one that would be awesome.
Cool always wanted an inside look - civilian here...pretty much as i expected - seems you dont have that camera system that gives full 360 view. And are the windows bullet proof. I used to live nyc and after 2014 the entire fleet these amazing inserts on front side windows
SO JEALOUS!!!!!!! I'm in a 2018 Chevy Tahoe, you hit any pothole and it feels like the car is going to flip 🤣 also absolutely in love with how the speaker has a magnet on the back, might just have to rig mine to do that!
The magnetic mic holder is a game changer. They are fantastic.
So cool!! Those are built at the Chicago Ford plant. They are the only company to build a police car with everything, but the laptop. I work for a subcontractor that does maintenance work at the plant, and they put them through very rigorous testing. Congrats on the new ride, you deserve it!
What kind of testing
@@indyguy3400 he's assuming that you are a cop
Is the suspension and engine beefier than a normal car?
@@chriswalsh2312I don’t think so but I know the alternator is and they are designed to be running constantly
@@chriswalsh2312 Shocks, springs, sway bars, brakes, & wheels are all upgraded from the regular Explorer. Additional frame bracing as well.
Thank you for all you do Stefanie, you are appreciated!! Please be safe out there!!

Take BJJ courses. Adopt A Cop BJJ is a great resource.
I would invest in BJJ/Krav Maga.

And more reliable
I hate the Durango.

💵💵💵💵 that's the only difference. Our county's sheriff cars are factory seats.
What’s awesome is we build them everyday! It’s cool when you build a complete working police car!
Awesome video, we have the same ford police interceptors where I work as Campus Safety, and they're nice, but I prefer the previous generation as I think they're a little more comfortable when wearing gear.

Enjoy your ford explore and thank you for virtual tour of the patrol car. And does your agency decommissioned/retired all those ford crown Victoria’s.
I just recently picked up a 2013 ford interceptor utility, and i have to say that i absolutely love it. Was a Missouri Park Rangers vehicle, still has some of the fun stuff (lightbar, controller box, PA system, etc), and it obviously had a pretty easy life. I plan on turning it into an Umbrella Corporation security vehicle and take it to car shows and conventions 😁
Dang, a 10 year old car. Your dept must be hurting for money. Be safe!
@kentapley9315 lol! I'm not a cop, actually. I just found an old cop car for sale, and so I'm going to turn it into an Umbrella Corporation security vehicle, from Resident Evil.

Thanks for your video, I have a 2011 P7B Crown Victoria ( ex Long Beach California) and a 2016 police suv utility. I agree the Crown Victoria will be missed.
That’s why the Crown Vic was the defacto cop car of all time. Officers were comfortable and the baby was ABSOLUTELY spacious.
if you got the hybrid the acceleration sucks. The new tahoes feel like they wanna fall over .,. and so many blind spots I hate them
Im the police mechanic.. I work on all the fun stuff. our cars have plastic rear seats so you can slide noncooperative people in easily.

Hi Stefanie good morning happy Thursday morning and I hope you having amazing week and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
This Ford Explorer-Like Police SUV has all the bells and whistles-Very Interesting Vehicle
Our security team has 2 2010 Crown Victorias and my favorite a 1984 Chevy blazer
That’s so dope. I love that computer set up.
Funny that on the fire extinguisher it’s written 110. That’s the German emergency number for police 😂 (We have Police (110) and Fire/EMS (112) dispatched separately).
Was the driver side end of the lightbar not working correctly or does your agency have a really odd lighting pattern?
I enjoy watching this video
I just left corrections and man I love watching your vids everytime I watch you I think more and more about coming out there w y’all fr
Thank you for all you do! Keep it up!
The 13 percenters in the back get leather seats now..not bad
Very nice tour of the Police Interceptor utility based on the current generation Explorer yes as for law enforcement agencies they did ask if they would bring back the Crown Victoria and the answer is no
We had those and decided to go with Tahoe's just do to all the issues with them, least you keep it clean, and hope you are well
Yeah nothing was clunkier than the Tahoe which took FOREVER to accelerate. Some departments are still running Chargers, one or two Tauruses, but most are Utility
Awesome car! Love that organizer in the back I think its a nice addition. Stay safe out there :)
Your so upbeat and kind. thank you for the review.
Aw thank you!
My pleasure and thank you for your service
you're such a sweetheart

I totally agree,i would ask u for directions everytime
your chuckle is hilarious, keep it up!
thanks for the tour. mighty interested. enjoyed
Awesome! Be safe. You all support your PDs, it is a tough job out there.

Sou Policial em São Paulo BRASIL nossas viaturas são novas, porém não é equipada como a de vocês... parabéns pelo vídeo
My 2021 has acceleration issues also. It feels like it gets stuck in different gears and doesn’t take off. It stalls badly.

I heard officers complaining of the acceleration issue when on a vehicle pursuit, think is something with these new transmission.
Very very Nice, salute from Colombia :3

Wait til you get one with the ECOBOOST TWIN TURBO!!! Beast!!! Fasssstttttt Units.
Cool. Step. Thank u showing the ford. Nice
Is there a video on your channel, a review on the different lights like the flood etc?
I was hoping to learn about the specs of the vehicle 😅
Horse power, mods, 0-60, top speed, reliability
nice video..thanks for your service and hard work..
Hey Stephanie I was wondering if you’re team offers microphone support for people who have microphone notifications
This thing is awesome

Personally I like the latch for the radio and not the magent but it's just Personal preference
They should have bought the Ford Police Interceptor Utility Vehicle, it's the fastest and quickest police car made and it's heavy which makes it good for pit maneuvers.
My ford also does the no acceleration thing every once and awhile. Always at the worst possible moment 😂
Dirty injectors?!
This is the door this is the is the radio this is the seat this is the screen this is the rifle this is the steering wheel…..this is where we transport people I was wandering how u guys transported detainees.
