Chief Developer for V Development Group
Everything I post I do so as a private individual who is not representing any company or organization.
I'm sure that's enough, at least enough to equip the cars of everyone holding the rank of Deputy Chief and above.
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
I'd bet somebody's buddy is going to get that $4 million for a "feasibility study" that will last until the furor dies down.

Just buy new vehicles. It will only be that much more than basically retrofitting any car that has the proper setup to take on the extra weight AND be the patrol car it needs to be in NYC. Forget any older vehicles (just not even worth it for lifespan issues) and I would wager any of their newer vehicles will have those new lighter unibody chassis that can't handle the weight. 4 Million isn't even scratching the surface when it comes to pricing out costs, installation, maintenance on any sort of armored non tactical vehicle.
I love FAVs but I also hate them.
No you're right, I should've clarified that while FAVs are not the solution here, the concepts are the same: You're going to weigh down a car, even if you're considering glass and paneling for, say, the front cab portion. I've driven a Toyota Hilux pickup that only has the armor for the cab, and the weight gain is still considerable. I'm not aware of a non-tactical armored setup (FAV or LAV) that is going to not affect this.
We get the factory ballistic panels in our cars. I thinks it's 3A. Doors are heavier but not bad.
Just a dog chauffeur that used to hold the dumb end of the leash.
As far as I understand the article, the state of NY supports the city of NY with the 4.000.000$. So I guess the budget will be more than 4.000.000$.
