[0:06] My name is Lieutenant Jason Haidider. I
[0:08] am in charge of the patrol division and
[0:09] oversee building our fleet here. I'm
[0:11] here today to introduce a new Polaris
[0:13] Ranger that just entered our fleet. This
[0:15] new vehicle, this new UTV was purchased
[0:17] through a Gant with the Lakeville Public
[0:18] Safety Foundation. The Lakeville Police
[0:21] Department and Lakeville Fire Department
[0:22] have a great relationship with them. To
[0:24] discuss what we'll use this new ATV for
[0:26] within the police department, there's a
[0:27] number of specialty uses. This is not a
[0:30] patrol vehicle. You won't see it driving
[0:31] around on the road other than getting
[0:33] from point A to B for police purpose.
[0:35] This is not a routine patrol vehicle to
[0:37] make traffic stops. This is a vehicle
[0:39] that specializes in search and rescue.
[0:41] This is a vehicle that you'll see out at
[0:43] your public safety events. This is a
[0:45] vehicle you'll see at community
[0:46] engagement events. And this vehicle will
[0:48] serve a great purpose during Panaprog
[0:49] this upcoming weekend. You'll see it at
[0:51] the dog show. You'll see it at police
[0:53] canine show. You'll see it at cruise
[0:55] night. And you'll see it at the parade.
[0:57] This UTV that we purchased, we we added
[0:59] some accessories to it to help with the
[1:00] mission we're trying to accomplish. Some
[1:02] examples in the top, you'll see a 7,000
[1:04] lm light bar along with side flood
[1:06] lights that would we would use in any
[1:08] search mission that would occur in any
[1:10] large park or such as Ritter Farm Park
[1:12] when we're looking for someone that may
[1:13] be missing. It also has what it needs to
[1:15] drive on the roadway. If you'll notice,
[1:17] it has uh blinkers, it has brake lights,
[1:19] it has everything that you would need to
[1:21] be street legal. This UTV also has
[1:23] mirrors. We added mirrors to it so we
[1:25] can drive it safely and operate it
[1:26] safely around people. We can operate it
[1:28] safely around crowds. Um to add to that,
[1:31] it's fully equipped with a siren and a
[1:33] PA speakers. This Polaris vehicle has
[1:35] full HVAC. It's fully enclosed with
[1:37] windows. It allow us to use it
[1:39] wintertime, summertime, whenever we need
[1:41] it for whatever use we dee necessary.
[1:43] This UTV is capable of transporting six
[1:46] people total. Be an excellent tool to
[1:48] use if you need to evacuate someone or
[1:50] if someone had a medical emergency. The
[1:52] back trunk has room to and Trey has room
[1:54] to carry water, medical supplies,
[1:56] whatever else we may need at any scene
[1:58] at any given time. At the Lakeville
[1:59] Police Department, we are extremely
[2:01] gracious for this purchase that was
[2:02] granted to us by the Lakeville Public
[2:04] Safety Foundation. We appreciate the
[2:06] partnership we have with them and we are
[2:07] thankful for all the great things they
[2:09] do for our community. This vehicle is
[2:11] ready to hit the roadway and you just
[2:12] might see this player SUV this weekend
[2:14] at Panrog. Thanks for your support,
[2:16] community.
