End of an Era: The Last Ford Crown Victoria Rolls
Down The Line
Marking the
end of an era that stretches back virtually to the
dawn of the motorcar in America, the last
body-on-frame, rear-wheel-drive sedan from an
American car company rolled off the line last week
in Ontario, Canada.
Workers
from the St. Thomas Assembly Plant documented the
last Crown Victoria produced on September 15 on
their
Facebook page. Although sales to retail
consumers in the United States stopped with the
2008 model year, fleet sales continued to police
departments and taxi companies, both of which
value the cars for their rugged durability.

National Police Week 2012
National Police Week,
occurs each year during the week in which May 15 falls. A time when
our nation recognizes the service and sacrifice of U.S. law enforcement
through-out the country. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in
1962, National Police Week recognizes and honors those law
enforcement officers who have made the biggest sacrifice in the line of
duty for the safety and protection of others. National Police Week is a
collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring America's
law enforcement community.

29th Annual
Aquidneck Island National Police Parade
It’s been a tradition during the month
of May since 1962, when President John F. Kennedy signed a
proclamation designating May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day, and the
week in which that date falls as
Police Week.
Police Week is set aside to honor men and women in law enforcement past
and present who have given the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
Police Week includes many local and national events and tributes, which
culminate with memorial services at the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial
in Washington DC. In the 1960’s Rhode Island adopted the concept of a
National Police Week Parade, which was created in East Providence and
sponsored by the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge. Although their parade
was discontinued shortly after it started, they resumed the memorial event
in the early 1970’s. Officers from Aquidneck Island Police Departments,
which include Newport Police, Middletown Police, Portsmouth Police and
Rhode Island State Police revived the parade as an annual event. After
one more interruption in the 80’s, the parade has continued into the 21st
century, now in its 29th consecutive year. The Aquidneck Island National
Police Parade has expanded its events over the first weekend in May of
each year to commemorate those officers killed in the line of duty.
Agencies from around the nation including New Jersey, New York,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, Iowa, Illinois, Maryland, New Hampshire,
Maine, Vermont ,Washington D.C. and some International Agencies such as
the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have joined to commemorate the fallen
officers.

Connecticut State Police owned 1982 and
1969 D.A.R.E Corvettes. Both Corvettes were confiscated by the CSP under
the "Asset Forfeiture Law" because their owners were involved in drug
related activity. After the cars became the property of the CSP, they were
used by the Narcotic Task Force Division for undercover related activities
before finally becoming D.A.R.E. vehicles". The ‘82 Corvette was confiscated
back in the mid to late 80's according to CSP's Trooper First Class Leonard
Widener, and was first painted white and red. Then sometime in the early
90's, the stars and stripes graphics were integrated into the paint scheme.
The ‘69 Vette, he explained, was confiscated at about the same time and was
painted sometime in late 1989 or 1990. The names of the people responsible
for the ‘69's graphics and renovation are proudly listed on the rear deck of
the vehicle. For more photos,
