FPD to purchase new cars

The Flomaton Police Department will use $10,000 it received in drug forfeiture money and trade in two older vehicles to purchase two newer vehicles at no additional cost to the town.

Police Chief Bryan Davis presented a proposal to the town council Monday night to trade in the department's 2007 Yukon that has more than 200,000 miles and an out-of-service Crown Victoria that also has more than 200,000 miles. He said the town will receive $4,500 for the trade-ins which will be added to the $10,000 in forfeiture cash to purchase a 2014 Dodge Charger and a 2011 Crown Victoria for $14,500.
