New wheels

new OPP vehicle

Nicholas Donaldson

The local OPP detachment got a new addition to its fleet last month. A 2016 Chevrolet Suburban was delivered to replace an older one. The vehicles usually get replaced around 200,000 km. Older vehicles are sent back to Orillia and stripped of all police-related accessories, such as its cage, radio, and overhead emergency lights. These accessories then are reused on new cruiser. The old vehicle then is auctioned off by the Ontario government.
