Fleet Replacement Plan
The agency’s goal, budget permitting, is to replace about a third of its 4,300-vehicle fleet
each year including:
• 2,300 patrol vehicles• 430 motorcycles
• 140 all-terrain vehicles
![Page 5: Tour of The California Highway Patrol Upfitting Shop and EVOC Course Demonstration September 12, 2013](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102814/551681795503469d698b5dfd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Several years ago the department was faced
with making a decision to replace their legacy
fleet of Crown Victoria Police Interceptors
manufactured by Ford from 1992 – 2011.
![Page 7: Tour of The California Highway Patrol Upfitting Shop and EVOC Course Demonstration September 12, 2013](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102814/551681795503469d698b5dfd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
New Ford Police Interceptor Utility
The CHP's vehicle acquisition process, though, seems a bit
convoluted. When the CHP decides to buy a new vehicle, it
informs the Department of General Services (DGS), which opens
a bidding process. DGS is responsible for accepting and vetting
the bids and awarding a contract.
To be considered in the first place, the vehicles must be pursuit
rated by a trusted agency, such as the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department or the Michigan State Police.
![Page 8: Tour of The California Highway Patrol Upfitting Shop and EVOC Course Demonstration September 12, 2013](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102814/551681795503469d698b5dfd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Based on the Explorer SUV, Ford states that
the PI Utility is a purpose-built vehicle. The
vehicles are fitted with heavy duty brake,
cooling, and electrical systems to cope
with the rigors of police work.

CHP Requirements
The CHP requires that its vehicles hit 60 mph in
under 10 seconds and 100 mph in under 29
seconds. It also requires that a vehicle be able to
accelerate from 50 mph to 100 mph in less than
22 seconds, have a minimum top speed of 120
mph and hit 120 mph from a standing start within
two miles.

become the first law enforcement agency
in the state to use the new faster, smarter

Interceptor sports utility pursuit vehicle.

The California Highway Patrol Enhanced Radio System (CHPERS) project was initiated to enhance statewide CHP radio
communications.
![Page 19: Tour of The California Highway Patrol Upfitting Shop and EVOC Course Demonstration September 12, 2013](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102814/551681795503469d698b5dfd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The CHPERS project meets the goal of providing interoperability at the local, state, and federal levels.
![Page 20: Tour of The California Highway Patrol Upfitting Shop and EVOC Course Demonstration September 12, 2013](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102814/551681795503469d698b5dfd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CHPERS allows for improved communications from dispatch to the patrol vehicle, as well as from the
vehicle directly to officers in the field.
![Page 21: Tour of The California Highway Patrol Upfitting Shop and EVOC Course Demonstration September 12, 2013](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102814/551681795503469d698b5dfd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Radio speakers in the four doors broadcast four different radio frequencies.
![Page 23: Tour of The California Highway Patrol Upfitting Shop and EVOC Course Demonstration September 12, 2013](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102814/551681795503469d698b5dfd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Motorcycle Upfitting Shop
![Page 31: Tour of The California Highway Patrol Upfitting Shop and EVOC Course Demonstration September 12, 2013](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102814/551681795503469d698b5dfd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
CHP Adopts Harley-Davidson for Highway Enforcement
The police Electra Glide cycles bear many similarities to the civilian
versions, including the V-twin 103cc engine, and have been upgraded for
police use.
![Page 32: Tour of The California Highway Patrol Upfitting Shop and EVOC Course Demonstration September 12, 2013](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102814/551681795503469d698b5dfd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Aging BMWs make up its current fleet of enforcement
motorcycles.
![Page 33: Tour of The California Highway Patrol Upfitting Shop and EVOC Course Demonstration September 12, 2013](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102814/551681795503469d698b5dfd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The initial purchase order was for 120 Harley-Davidson FLHTP Electra Glide motorcycles. 400 more will need to
be replaced.
![Page 34: Tour of The California Highway Patrol Upfitting Shop and EVOC Course Demonstration September 12, 2013](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102814/551681795503469d698b5dfd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The C.H.P. chose the Electra Glide because it has a
faring that provides the officer better
protection and offers more real estate to mount
speakers and other police equipment.
![Page 35: Tour of The California Highway Patrol Upfitting Shop and EVOC Course Demonstration September 12, 2013](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102814/551681795503469d698b5dfd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The CHP is receiving five bikes per week including 32 Electra Glides from model-year 2013; the remainder will be model-
year 2014 cycles.

Stock cams for the
H-D's SE-255 are
changed out to
increase torque and
give it a bit more out
of the hole, more
horsepower, and
more top-end
speed.

heated hand guards and grips, and a push-to-talk
system.
