“Looks like it’s driving downhill”
Just like this job, this city, this state, etc...
That’s just god-awful.
New! Shiny!
The public will translate this to innovation.
See? Smoke. Mirrors.
Divert from the real issues.
At least the star is back........
Looks like it's driving downhill.
Just like everything else on this job is going downhill.
Taxi! Taxi!
I retired and moved to Missouri. The police cars here all have "In God We Trust" on the back. Something you will never see in a "Blue State".
Taxi! Does it come with a meter so we charge customers for every ride?
Crooked graphics drivin through Chicago traffic.
I sneeze in your general direction.
Hideous...but fits this joke of a dept perfectly.
It's so awful
Clown car.
Who’s the cop who designed this ugly thing?
Did the show squad actually have a PDT in it?
Why would they want to show off a vehicle that leaks carbon monoxide into the cab, has a leaky roof, outdated computer and no coffee cup holders?
"Looks like it's driving downhill?"
No, no, no . . . just no. You're not viewing this in the right frame of mind. Think of this as "truth in advertising." Let's see . . .
Declining morale and trust in leadership, declining hiring and promotional standards, declining officer safety and quality of life, declining clearance rates for homicide and other violent crimes . . .
At least the graphics on the sample vehicle appear to have been spelled co-rectally.
Another stupid "high visibility graphic"
designed to "deter" crime and fool
people into thinking the intentionally
depleted CPD is "everywhere" and able
to mount an effective response to the
rampant violent criminality that has
been accepted by the municipal powers
as the new normal...
...If anything, Police visibility needs
to be reduced in the face of copa/aclu
and "tha' communerty" being ceded control
of The Police and the local judiciary.
Policemen are in more peril than the violent,
death-loving swing-dicks of Dude Inc.
Thanks Rahm.
Thanks Ed.
Thanks Kimesha.
We proposed that all CPD units
be painted a dirty urban gray
with black ghost markings and
NO outwardly visible emergency
lighting.
You know...
Since The Police are the problem,
their public profile SHOULD be
greatly reduced.
"Make da Poleece leave us alone an' shit!"
As you wish.
We're more than happy to oblige you.
Respond.
Report.
Request remains removal.
Relocate.
Repeat.
We remember having fun when j-fled
was making noise about changing CPD
fleet appearance.
Why don't Police Cars have the same
"Keep Back 500 Feet/Vehicle Makes Sudden
Stops/Turns" signage similar to what's
on ambulances?
"You're just being mean and nasty..."
Well... That WAS back when fucks were given.
Sudden stops and turns in THIS anti-Police climate?
Fukdat...
Nothin' but forward motion as you:
Look.
Laugh.
Leave.
I wonder if it has 4 wheel drive?
Ford is a police vehicle whore for money.
Paint job more suited for places like Beverly
Hills, the Hamptons, and Martha's Vineyard.
Throw in Key West and you've covered some
major crime hot spots.
Is that a plate reader.... plate readers suck.
Driving down hill and at the bottom of the hill is a huge shitter.
Looks ridiculous
TAXI!!
That looks so fake. I don't think I would stop for that, and I would probably call 911 to report someone impersonating the police.
Of course it's driving downhill, that's the only direction this "career" will be going for the foreseeable future. Rham just wanted to make sure we are all reminded daily of that fact.
Wonder how those graphics are gonna work on the Taurus sedans. It doesn't look like there'll be enough room on the sides. At any rate wonder how many drunks at 4 a.m. will hailing them thinking they're taxi cabs.
One can foresee "lem'me lead ya" triple merit and I's touting this design as the next best way to eliminate crime in Austin.
A rather pleasing rearrangement of the deck chairs, I think.
Could be worse......should be a lot better. Check out the merit staff on hand for the unveiling.....makes the Titanic look like a good option. Hopefully the new diversity hiring standards and new squad car design appease the criminal communities that control the city.
Take it to jimmy s hotdogs. Throw a wrapper on the floor.viola! It’s broken in.
Any clowns in that car? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 presenting the greatest show on earth... we gotta midget ballerina? 💃🏼And the worlds first human kidney bean...
"Looks like it's driving downhill."
A mirror reflection of this whole job the last 20 years or so.
Just leave the design alone. It looks good like it is. There is no reason to make the cars look like taxis.
Those door decals are going to get ripped to hell in the parking lot.
That's fugly.
Already has a ticket # for "R" service
It’s absolutely stunning! In other news, our pension is critically underfunded.
How about that clown lt Tony bayou that’s another real winner do nothing that always has landed a nice spot!!
I'm going to miss the traditional car that was simple. Blue stripe, red lettering on a white car. This will grow on me it could be worse. I'd bet any money if Gary was still around his picture would be on it.
"Taxi!"
The design is fine. We'll weather this as well.
Who won the design contest?
looks perfect for it's undisclosed mission.
running it into the ground.
I think it's pretty. It should be a smart car though.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Since chases are out and arrests are down. How about a basic sub-compact car instead? Nothing with fancy stuff, but something in the $12,000 range.
We have been heading down hill for a long time now
We have been heading down hill for a long time now.
Take me to the circus.
It's a new car, who cares what the outside looks like if the heater works and has air for the summer. It won't be long and it will smell just like your old ride and you will feel right at home. But we need something to bitch about don't we?
Stupid!
The color scheme’s ok, it’s not 1962 guys.
However, the vehicle itself sucks.
Zero legroom for anyone but midgets.
It’s a sciatica inducing piece of crap.
Ford Explorers blow.
"we serve and protect, and please (our prisoners)".
Its the finishing touch on the intentional pussification and embarrassment of a once strong, masculine, tough and proud department. The politicians want us to look pathetic and good for nothing. They want us to look cheesy. Why else would they do the dumb shit they do? Tiny little girls that are afraid of their own shadows, good for no police purpose. 🐢
Looks British
Ummmmmmmm....NOPE!!!!....Quite the FUGGLY look going on there.....Out the Morons who designed and those that approved this Eye sore already....
Won’t our wonderful citizens be angered that this is where ‘their’ tax dollars are going?
When the passenger’s side door is open, it says “We Serve & Protect LICE.” True, very true.
Put on a clown hat and deliver some pizza's while on your shift,
Put different outside numbers on each side to fool the public into believing we have double the cars on the street. This space available for other HQ "Puzzle Palace" ideas.
Would’ve preferred the 1960’s paint scheme.
I'd love to hear what was said over the years of each change in the looks and makes of vehicles. I think it looks much better than the current one but I still prefer the old dodges with the blue and white paint scheme and a gumball on top
I like it, how many did they order, 5 maybe 6.
Chicago Police vehicle sponsored by Guaranteed Rate!!!!
Fugly
Bring back the Mars lights!!!
Actually it's very timely. Going downhill, just like the CPD
It looks like a security car.
Looks like a carnival ride
Hater
I think it looks ok. And actually, the perspective is that it’s going uphill...
Maybe now that we've agreed to make the replacement of rolling stock a contractual "benefit" the city will propose making fuel and maintenance for them a benefit in current negotiations too?
Should have gone back to a blue and white with the star on the door.
How about a drain plug in the front floor boards..
Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
This design looks like a London police vehicle, If we are going to start looking like the U.K. I wonder if our next mayor might be a Muslim and how many tens of thousands of refugees Rahm is going to bring in.
The city has no money to buy any vehicles so it doesn't matter. We will still have the same decrepit vehicles this time next year and we will still be talking about how dangerous the vehicles are.
Who cares, With real issues at hand. these clowns redesign a fk emblem.
Its in the back toward the food area and bathrooms. Nobody cares
Give them to the Sgts. They’ll never take them out. Lol!
Just put the star on the door and make the checkers level andl I wouldn’t hate it so much.
What's the story on the CPD Detective getting car jacked in 016? At some point, auto insurance is going to go through the roof, because there are no consequences to this crime in Cook County. Somebody should have a booth at the Heralded Auto Show telling local residents how to avoid being victims. It used to be: Stay out of the South or West Side, but now it is everywhere, including the Gold Coast and 016. Baby "G"
The new deck chair arrangement is fabulous and this caviar is scrumptious! Now let's all move to the front for a better view of that lovely iceberg...
Looks awful
I prefer the ISP car in the back. Bit more classic design
They sent mine to West Coast Customs,Low rider knows every street, Low rider is the one to meet, Low rider dont drive to fast.
1 was at the area other day had on front fenders detective unit marking finally the city is making more vehicles marked to deter crime and stopping some from playing "hey I'm undercover and will go whenever I please" only unmarked will be non police spec for 189!
Looks like a Bobby clown car. Very European look, now just need unarmed police to complete the look and feel. After all Chicago is a sanctuary city no need for police to be armed.
How apropos.
Rather than being level, the words "Chicago Police" are pointing downward at about a 15 degree angle. Considering reality, it should be at least a 45 degree angle. Due to corrupt politics and inept management, the CPD is dead in the water.
OMG! It is adorable, so cute.
White doors, blue fenders and quarter panels. That would make for easy body repair, cheaper too. Thats WHY both cabs and cops cars used to be painted that way...to be able to panel paint without worrying about color match.
New doors or fenders could be painted ready to go when the car came in...leading to best quality repair with the least down time.
Some thug WILL be released from their crime by claiming they didnt believe this was a real police vehicle.
Wait, thats a feature, not a bug!
This is just a means of wasting more money by awarding another contract to make a lobbyist happy.
Ridiculous.
It’s a squad car. Who cares what it looks like. Too many other things to worry about
If you click on the bottom photo and then zoom in on the upper right quadrant, the other car is flying ISP's colors. The graphics are pretty close to the design their marked units were using 30-40 years ago, minus the brown and gold-yellow stripes down the length of the body. Nice and professional looking, instead of the "Hot Wheels" look they went with for a while.
Great,new paint jobs. Just what the CPD needs. They're just re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Horrible!!!
does it have a jack? Prolly not
Hate to be the one going against the flow but, I like it. It's an ugly SUV, but the graphics are fine.
J.J.
Shouldn’t there be a contingent of CAPS porters wiping off fingerprints and Armor Alling the tires to a high luster?
Oh, I forgot...weekends off.
1991 Geo Metro
looks like a taxi cab.
Maybe put some advertising from Dunkin Donuts---sense of humor... Maybe if people laughed, it would dial down the tension? Maybe a Chief Wiggums decal....a big 5 O on the door. And PO PO on the back.
How is Driving?
Cookie the Clown or Bozo the Clown
We know who's running the Show!!
OK, how about a pool on how long before the first one gets totaled.
I love that they are displaying it in full "vehicle pursuit" mode, really deterring the carjackers.
Comic Sans font on a police car is ridiculous.
These comments are wayyyyyyyyy too funnee.
I have the urge to play chess. No wait. I'm stupid, I live in Chicago. I have the urge to play checkers.
Heh...
Worked the ghetto.
Worked the northside.
Never had a ghetto denizen walk up and
yank on the door handle thinking the
squad was a taxi.
Well... Exception being ol' boy trying
to get in the squad to escape his fellow
ol' boys who were attempting to slay his ass.
On the north side?
We were getting door-pulls at a disconcerting rate.
One momentous occasion we did fail to lock the doors...
Shame on us.
"Take me to... Ohhhhh shit! I'm sorry Officers!"
>Struggles looking for the non-existent door handle<
Us:
"You're a dumbass... How about we take you to
jail for Trespass To City Property?"
Dumbass Yuppie:
"No! Wait! WAAAHHH!"
We bore an abiding grudge against any taxi
company that was in white livery with a blue
stripe down the side like CPD squads.
Especially when Caprices and Crown Vics were
thick on the ground here.
This livery scheme?
Some clouted advisory committee of a-holes
is laughing up their collective sleeves over
this bullshit.
Bet you any kind of money that blue front and rear
quarter panel masks and the classic CPD Star applique
costs less than this get-up...
Police Like You Have No Friends.

Nothing on the hood, maybe left open until next election them Rahms pic on hood.
Why not a ghetto camouflage paint job so you could sneak through their neighborhoods. Put some rims deep tinted windows and loud sound system blasting and they would never see you coming. Just a thought to help you fit in better.

Err. what about feng shui? You know...like the need to have nine lemons in your house for good luck.
Squad appearance is vital.
Now show me your deliverables!
OMG! It is adorable, so cute.
2/11/2018 11:18:00 AM
You probably drive a pink Volkswagen Beetle with a long furry white interior. So cute!
I think it looks ok. And actually, the perspective is that it’s going uphill...
2/11/2018 08:21:00 AM
Only when you are in reverse! Your perspective is ass backwards.
How about an ACURA MDX with AWD?
Very nice interior and the seats are wonderful to sit in for 8 hours while watching my IPAD.
The decal scheme looks like a UK vehicle.
Give it one blue stipe like BA had on his van.
Col Hannibal Smith

How the fuck do you know my old lady, Viola Voila?
OT, CWB Chicago has a good write-up on why carjackings have increased due to the policies put forth by Preckwinkle and others.
http://www.cwbchicago.com/2018/02/guess-what-happens-when-city-doesnt.html?m=1
Whether the person would think it's a cab (out of towners, the "millions of tourists") or the 5 or 6 CPS students that can read, it is different.
After 2 beers, look at the car and wonder if you are queasy!
Different, however, the element of surprise is gone in something that stands out like this.
NOT ILLINOIS. NOT LAW.
Doesn't matter how the soccer mom SUV Is painted, it's still a soccer mom hatchback pos
Hopefully ford used primer this time on the police cars, otherwise we'll have the peeling paint debacle again. Seriously, they should have bought a foreign car. I guess the kick backs aren't big enough from foreign car makers.

Looked at it also great idea finally!
Can you say Taxi ????
All show, no go. Might as well order them with fourbangers, we can't chase anymore. Better yet, just give us bicycles, Segways, or rickshaws.
Are these new cars part of our contract still? /s
I think it looks ok. And actually, the perspective is that it’s going uphill...
^ that’s a first. Psych department really dropped the ball on this one.
Sweet paint job....makes me want to sneeze on whoever designed it, if ya know what I mean
My kids love it!!! Ma! I wanna drive it! I'd deliver pizza.
I wanted to see the large door decals with the number "12" like some Nascar racer.
If the car gets into a crash, the stripes light up and the star blows out pixie dust
That looks like garbage. It was designed by of course a female house mouse who barely worked the street. What a moron paint job!
Whats next ? The sirens? Someone obviously likes the London design

Finally, a realistic, useable suggestion!
Not a good design. It looks like a big zipper. Nevermind it’s a read between the lines statement that everything stays within the CPD. Code of silence, clout, exam scam, boy toys, play dolls,etc....“Just ZIP It”.
No commie CAPS star or logo or is it concealed in shadow paint?
At least it's got the star on it.
Nice they will have like other cities on the front fenders "detective" and "supervisor" which will make them more identifiable, which will add to the presence of more cars on the street! The city is finally terminating the excessive "friends and family" back door leasing programs where the aldermen get the payoffs! This new program will promote more efficiency with parts, only using same makes models same equipment! even the commanders will be getting marked vehicles as they should have all along,this will prevent these goofs from stopping at the bars and trying to be undercover!
Now retired... I used to drive the old blue and white Dodge Monaco and Plymouth Fury squad cars with the single gumball lights.
I like this new design. It looks dynamic.
I remember Superintendent James Rochford saying when he saw the first of the current soon to be retired design, "It still looks like a taxicab."
This doesn't look like a taxicab.
Only drawback is that body repair paintwork would be complicated and cars would be out of service longer.

Damnit man, you’re a genius! Despite the fact we already have the Britt sirens (Hi-lo option), you inspired a great idea:
Make the sirens the circus theme song! It’s right on so many levels. On one hand, it matches the clown car. On the other hand, it depicts 99% of the circus-type drama bullshit we have to deal with. On one foot, it’s also intimidating (creepy as hell). On the other foot, it calls out any goof reckless enough to chase anyone in the first place. Rather than say “checkmate,” I will simply...aaaaaachooo. Oops, sorry, I sneezed on your bare feet and....
Now Retired continued...
Check this out from The Chicago Auto Show... some great displays
I used to drive these blue & whites, I remember the black and white as a kid. I had one of those pedal cars although it was all blue. I considered it an unmarked car.

You're half-right, in that it would be quite the uphill battle to REVERSE the Department's (and the City, County and State's) course . . .
Beat 4793.
Who's behind the wheel of that car?
I'm glad the CAPS logo is gone but I am surprised there is no rooftop numbers for beefers in high windows, drones and helicopters.
