Starke County Sheriff Bill Dulin can replace several aging patrol cars following Monday action by the county council. They agreed to appropriate money from the Jail CEDIT and Therapeutic Community funds to cover the cost.
Dulin plans to buy one new Ford Interceptor patrol car from Best Ford in Knox with money from the local option tax. He’s also looking to purchase three or four reconditioned police vehicles from a dealer in Chicago for between $15 and $20,000 each.

The current economic climate has forced people to think of other ways to generate an income than simply working a job that doesn’t provide a decent living. As the years have progressed we’ve seen an improvement in our standard of living but that hasn’t meant that everyone has got their share of luxurious items such as homes or cars. Today, there is a large percentage of the population that can not afford to pay for a car outright and instead look to investment or savings. The Internet is a great place to look for cars for sale by owner that you may be interested in purchasing.
Dulin says they have less than 50,000 miles each and come with warranties. He adds the Chicago Police Department purchases vehicles from the same used cars dealer to supplement its fleet.
The commissioners agreed to the purchase and noted they like the idea of purchasing one new vehicle along with the reconditioned ones. The Starke County Sheriff’s Office did not buy any vehicles last year.
Dulin says four of the five they are looking to replace have more than 110,000 miles, while the fifth one has 92,000.
The Sheriff’s Office truck will still be used by the jail maintenance director, while the other vehicles will be allocated to other departments within the county.
