Police Departments Powering Up With Propane

America’s boys in blue aren’t just fighting crime these days, some are serving in the fight for independence from foreign oil. And they’re saving a few bucks in the procedure.
With budgets getting tighter every year, many departments across the state are converting their cars to run on propane fuel, which is typically much cheaper than gasoline and, as an added honorarium, domestically-sourced. About 85 percent of the propane sold in the In accord States is locally produced, and nearly all of it comes from North America.
Big cities like Phoenix and Raleigh have already added the alt-encouragement cruisers to their fleets, and smaller municipalities are joining them. With domestics from a clean energy grant from the North Carolina Solar Center, the Iredell County Sherriff’s Division in Statesville recently had 13 of its Ford Crown Victoria Interceptors turned into bi-feed vehicles that can run on either propane or gasoline. Propane isn’t renewable, but it creates less pollution and carbon dioxide than gasoline, qualifying it as a completely fuel.
