I was speaking with a Sergeant of a town department last week which just aquired a Ford Explorer SUV for a supervisor's vehicle. He was telling me that he didn't like it for the following reasons. The space between the driver's seat and the arm rest was tight and jammed his duty weapon against it. He also said that it was too small for all the equipment carried by the department.
He likes the crown victoria much better because it has plenty of leg room. Personally I like the SUV for the following reason:
It's height puts you above other vehicles so you have a higher observation point of your surroundings. Being New England an SUV is good with 4WD for the snowy road conditions 8) . I don't like the issue of your weapon being pressed against your side while in the driver's seat.
