"We felt like silver would be easier to keep clean, and we think we will be able to get silver cars for a long time." "Years ago, the LPD cars were a gray color, so we thought this would be a good way to honor our history," Phelps said. Staff decided to go with silver because they thought it looked the best, and it was the most similar to the old gray police cars that were around before the department switched to blue. Manufacturers said the only colors that would be available in the police package for the Dodge Charger patrol car would be white, black, red, or silver. " We have been told for several years that the color blue we use would no longer be an option in the police package." "We were running into issues with car manufacturers on the color," Chief Phelps said. On the rear side panel is "911" in black and "LENOIR POLICE" is on the back of the car with the same fade as the side.Ĭhief Brent Phelps said the department had to change color schemes because it was becoming harder and harder to get cars with the darker blue paint.
Underneath the swoosh is the police department patch, the word "POLICE" with a fade from white at the top to black at the bottom, and "Lenoir, NC" in solid black. The striping on the side of the car is a swoosh that fades from black to silver to black and is outlined in blue similar to the current patrol car swoosh. The new patrol cars are silver with black trim.
