Report
Summary
This vehicle entered service with the Phoenix Police Department in 2008 and has served as a Patrol Tahoe for the past 17 years. The age of the vehicle along with its mileage and service record requires the vehicle to be replaced in the Department's fleet. The vehicle has been well maintained and is professional in appearance.
The Police Museum was established in 1993 with a vision of "preserving our past, to inspire our future." This vision holds true today, as the museum continues to provide historical education to the community, both local and international. Currently, the Museum maintains a small fleet of four antique police vehicles, which are displayed at the museum and special events and used for educational presentations.
This request is for authorization of the donation of Tahoe 811390 to the Phoenix Police Museum. The Museum will affix museum marking to this vehicle so it is not confused with an active vehicle in the Police Department's fleet, and the museum agrees to accept all liability, maintenance, and insurance responsibilities for this vehicle.
Financial Impact
This vehicle will be donated to the Phoenix Police Museum for the cost of $1.
