American Legion LeRoy, New York Announces the 2023 “LeRoyan of the Year Award” Deadline for submission of nominations is Tuesday, August 29th, 2023 LeRoy Police Vehicles Cost Saving Efforts In an effort to reduce operational costs, the LeRoy Police Department has been purchasing used police vehicles directly from other Law Enforcement agencies. We have been doing this for the last several years and the program has been a success. The Federal program we participate in offers low mileage, fully-equipped police vehicles to law enforcement agencies for a fraction of the cost. After purchase, our mechanics go over the police vehicle to ensure its safe and ready for the road. A large majority of the vehicles offered for purchase come in white. Moving forward, when we replace an older unit, we will replace it with white. We have also switched out decals- our old decal set cost around $1,200 per vehicle. Our new decals cost about $75 dollars per vehicle and are printed by Genesee County Highway. The patrol car pictured cost a total of $8,500 dollars. If this vehicle was purchased and equipped new, it would cost almost $50,000 dollars!
