    They were talking about it on the radio. A lot of people phoned in bitching and moaning about how it was just like the CPS to waste money getting stuff they don't need (really, which cop needs a hummer?).

    Then someone calls in and tells them that it was actually donated to the police force.

    It was Donated by Jack Carters. and the New H2 is pretty much just an Overly priced Suburban. its not worth the near $100,000 IMO. The Po-po also have a new toyota matrix with the cherries atop the roof aswell

    It's basically a new battering ram. Cops in the states also have Hummers. I'm sure they have a way to justify something like that.

    I know they have a Beetle but it's for drug prevention and is driven by drug counsellors, got the lights and all. Maybe it's actually a beetle RSi in disguise? haha probably not... or is it?

    Pull your head out of your ass for a minute or two. The H2 was donated by a car dealership, and the people of calgary raised the money to buy the helicopter.

    In case anyone doesn't know, the Hummer is to promote recruitment for the CPS. They're some 200+ officers short at the moment, and need to recruit very quickly due to a lot of older officers retiring early.

    The problem is that currently CPS isn't well liked... It's difficult to branch out as well to another organization.

    I do find it funny that everyday the city is pushing the notion that SUV's are evil polluting machines, that are a detriment to our enviroment, every year the Mayors enviro expo pulls out the soapboax and goes on and on about the perils of owning one, yet everytime I turn a corner, I see a new type of SUV being used by one of the cities various departments..Seems the standards are different when it comes to the city, if its not the EMS supervisors driving GMC denali's, police driving hummers, durango's, explorers, Parks and Recreation in Xterra's, its the Enmax people driving around in a Land Rover...
    I don't care if its donated or not, it costs money to outfit one of those vehicles, I use to know a guy that did that stuff for the city, and the average cost per vehicle was around 15-20g for the paint, lights, computer, Etc etc..
    I like how they get a swanky toy, and they deem it a promotion tool, give me freakin break, its toy for the department that has it, all it promotes, is welcome to the CPS, all we do is drive around and look cool in our custom toys....
    EMS now has a Austin Mini, how that vehicle compliments fire trucks and ambulances is beyond me, oh yeah, its "promotional"...whatever....Maxt

    ya dealers often donate ars to cities. we got a 2004 ford expedition and a beetle turbo desil and a 2004 doge Ram 1500. IT's quite nice. but a hummer? DAMN! and they do cost a lot for the decals and lights and the onboard compter with wireless modems and crap.

    You're so negative all the time. Who gives a fuck anyways, it doesn't really affect either of us
