Dodge Ram Police Trucks come Radar Ready!

Police vehicles go through a lot of strain. Not only do they need to perform at extremely high levels, these law enforcement cars and trucks are designed to be tough as nails and handle other problems that many of us don't normally consider.

One such problem is excessively long idling times. Police cruisers, especially those equipped with radar guns, will often have to sit in the same place while waiting for a speeder to drive by. As starting a car is rough on the engine, police officers are trained to leave their cars on when they go to check on an issue. Most police cars are equipped with an 'idle switch' that can be toggled to leave the car on though the keys are removed. The vehicle can not be moved until the keys are put in, and this saves the car from starting and stopping dozens of times a day.

This excessive idling is bad for the battery and severely limits the life of the car, so when a car manufacturer is contracted to make police vehicles, like Dodge recently was, they add a bunch of extra features to make the cars and trucks better suited for cops.

Enter the Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab 4X4 Special Service Package. This pickup truck is a beast.

The 1500 Crew Cab comes equipped with 100,000 mile sparkplugs and an extra large oil cooler for those long times idling, and the electronics in the truck are outstanding. The lights and computer in a police vehicle drain the battery, and police radar guns can likewise take a toll on the power, so there's a 220 amp alternator, which gives a lot of juice to all the equipment police officers regularly use.

Those of you who don't have access to the suped up Ram 1500 might want to take a look at some of our other options for accessorizing you radar gun. Our police radar gun accessories include tools like mounting brackets and large digital radar display signs.

For sporting enthusiasts, our baseball radar guns are fairly energy efficient, but even they need a recharge once in a while. If you're away from a power outlet, a great option is a solar battery charger like the Brunton Explorer Foldable Solar Panel, which will give you energy anywhere the sun makes an appearance.

Whether you're a police officer in need of the best equipment available or a little league baseball coach who doesn't settle for second place, our radar gun gear will help keep you performing at the highest levels.
