With an average of 500 daily flights and 68 non-stop destinations, St. Louis Lambert International Airport is just minutes from downtown with quick and easy access to interstates and the MetroLink light rail system. For PFE 2018, we are expecting more than 85 exhibitors and 550 attendees. Our host hotel is the Marriott St. Louis Grand Hotel (formerly Renaissance Grand St. Louis). This Marriott is conveniently located across the street from the America s Center and connected via a pedway. Both venues underwent extensive renovations in the last couple of years. The Ride & Drive will be held on Monday, Aug. 20, 2018 at Gateway Motorsports Park, from 10:00am 3:00pm. This popular event will showcase the usual events where attendees can test-drive vehicles from Chevy, FCA and Ford as well as motorcycles and alternate vehicles.

A new underground-glass entrance will feature natural lighting and face the park over the highway. This west-facing entry plaza gives visitors an easier way to enter the Gateway Arch and its Museum of Westward Expansion. The park site will increase with 11 new acres, a renovated historic Old Courthouse, and an expanded Museum of Westward Expansion. The museum will explore America s western journey and the important role St. Louis and its people played in the growth of the United States. 13

In addition to the Gateway Arch National Park along the Mississippi River, there s Great Rivers Greenway (a 600 mile network of trails), Forest Park and much more. Home of the Blues, St. Louis celebrates the opening of the National Blues Museum adjacent to America s Center. Every night, St. Louis is alive with the rhythm of live music including jazz, country and rock featuring both national and local acts. Another must-see venue is Ballpark Village, a world-class dining and entertainment district in the heart of downtown.

The highly anticipated St. Louis Aquarium is the latest attraction to add to the appeal of this historic landmark.

The attraction will feature one-of-a-kind exhibits and tanks with one million gallons of water housing thousands of aquatic species. A shark tank holding one of the largest collections of sharks in the Midwest will be a highlight of the new attraction.

In addition, the venue will include an 8,500-square-foot private event space featuring the Shark Tank as a backdrop for a memorable meeting experience and one-of-a-kind photo opportunities.

26 FOCUS WhatÕs New for the 2019 (and beyond) Ford Police Fleet WHAT S NEW FOR THE FO OR RD PO OL LICE FLEE ET HYBRID TECHNOLOGY GOING THE DISTANCE FOR MEN AND WOMEN IN BLUE BY POLICE FLEET MANAGER STAFF 24 Police Fleet Manager Jul-Aug 2018

27 2019 (AND BEYOND) Trusted by U.S. law enforcement since 1950, Ford is offering more new vehicle options in the upcoming year to enhance police fleets. Ford just revealed the industry s first pursuit-rated hybrid SUV, their allnew 2020 Police Interceptor Utility with standard hybrid, AWD, and Ford Telematics. Purpose-built for the police duty cycle, the 2020 Ford Police Interceptor Utility s hybrid powertrain can offer significant potential fuel savings compared to that of traditional police vehicles. Its lithium-ion hybrid battery can also provide added benefits when considering the unique idling demands of day-to-day police use. The all-new Police Interceptor Utility also reflects Ford s plan to offer hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or both versions for every new utility in North America. We re committed to electrifying vehicles for all customers, including law enforcement who need the high performance and low operating costs that Ford s next-generation hybrids will excel at providing, said Hau Thai-Tang, executive vice president of Product Development and Purchasing. Don t miss the article on the 2020 PI Utility Hybrid in this issue for more details. The Police Responder Hybrid Sedan is also new for 2019 model year, and 2019 is the first full model year for the F-150 Police 25

28 FOCUS What s New for the 2019 (and beyond) Ford Police Fleet Responder. In addition, 2019 is the final model year for the PI Sedan and PI Utility before the all-new 2020 PI Utility hits the pavement. PURSUIT RATED 2019 Ford Police Interceptor Sedan This is the final model year of the Ford Police Interceptor Sedan, which reflects customer shift to SUVs. As an example, the Police Interceptor Utility was 80% of Police Interceptor sales in Outfitted with the 365-hp2 EcoBoost V63 and standard AWD, comfort is also first-rate in the PI Sedan. Finely upholstered in heavyduty cloth, the power driver s seat accommodates six ways and includes manual lumbar support. Slim seat bolsters make getting in and out of the vehicle easy, and they supply ample room for a holstered pistol. Wrapped in heavy-duty vinyl, the rear bench maximizes space and access is made easy with wide-opening rear-door hinges. Within the super-capacity trunk, 16.6 cubic feet of room stows equipment out of sight. Pull up the flat load floor for the standard full-size spare stationed inside. A slide-out, custom-fit electronics tray and an auto-running circulation fan are designed to keep conditions temperate for sensitive devices. It s made in America specifically for police duty, and it s built on the same platform as the Police Interceptor Utility. That makes for proficient fleet management due to shared parts and maintenance routines, such as when it comes to servicing the standard 3.7L V6 and available 3.5L EcoBoost V6. This applies to the brake pads, rotors, calipers and much more. More importantly, exact-spec components can keep downtime to a minimum Ford Police Interceptor Utility The 2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility had 52% of the market share in 2017, outselling all other police vehicles in the market combined. A new option for 2019 is the OBD-II port split connector that allows up to two devices to be connected to the vehicle s OBD-II port. Armed with the 365-hp2 EcoBoost V63 and standard AWD, the PI Utility out-accelerates the competition s V8-equipped utility. Front seats feature slim, uniquely shaped bolsters that enable offcers to quickly get in and out. Those bolsters supply ample room for a holstered pistol (left- or right-hand). To allow for a comfortable fit, the six-way power driver s seat is standard. Reconfigure the rear 60/40 split-fold bench as desired, or fold it fully out of the way for 85.1 cubic feet of load space to go with its 1,630-lb. standard payload capacity. Devices and K-9 partners can be kept cooler with the auxiliary air conditioning. The liftgate release switch in the overhead console is handy and helps provide added security by relocking the mechanism after 45 seconds if unopened. A rear view camera with washer is standard; the camera display in the 4-inch center-stack LCD screen is standard too, or offcers can choose to have that display in the rearview mirror as a no-charge option. As a cost-control measure, a number of components on the Utility are identical to the Sedan. The standard 3.7L V6 and available 3.5L Eco- Boost V6 share many parts for simplified service. This holds true for the front seats, brakes, wheels and tires. In addition, the Police Interceptor key doesn t contain a microchip.

30 FOCUS WhatÕs New for the 2019 (and beyond) Ford Police Fleet payload capacity (2,030 lbs.) and best towing capacity (7,000 lbs.) of any pursuit-rated police vehicle, this powerful pickup has a first-in-class, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body and cargo box to reinforce its Built Ford Tough reputation for quality, durability and strength. NON-PURSUIT RATED Special Service Vehicles Law enforcement agencies are increasingly looking to vehicles beyond the traditional sedan for specialized duty. Ford offers a well-rounded and versatile Police Vehicle selection available to your agency with the additional selections of the Special Service Plug-In Hybrid Sedan, F-150 XL Special Service (SSV), Expedition Special Service (SSV), and Transit Prisoner Transport Vehicle (PTV) Ford Special Service Plug-In Hybrid Sedan Ford is giving law enforcement an even more effcient option with the reveal of a plug-in hybrid vehicle capable of driving up to 21 miles without a drop of gas. The Special Service Plug-In Hybrid Sedan, the first plug-in hybrid police vehicle from Ford, is designed for police and fire chiefs, detectives, and other government personnel whose jobs don t require a pursuit-rated vehicle. This is the first Ford police vehicle that can potentially get through an entire shift using no gasoline whatsoever, said Stephen Tyler, Ford police brand marketing manager. Anyone can plug this in to any wall outlet to run gas- and emissions-free on battery-only operation. The vehicle s 3.3-kilowatt onboard charger allows agencies to fully charge the 7.6-kilowatt-hour battery in just 2.5 hours on a 240-volt, level-two charger. But Ford is confident most agencies won t need anything more than a regular 120-volt wall outlet to recharge. The lithiumion battery can move the vehicle up to 21 miles on a single charge and up to 85 mph on battery power alone. Once the battery runs down, the vehicle is powered by its gasoline-electric hybrid powerplant with a range surpassing 500 miles eliminating any concerns of range anxiety typically associated with battery-only electrics. Potentially decreased fuel usage leads to fewer fill-ups per shift and can help vehicles and offcers spend more time on the beat. The custom interior features heavy-duty cloth front seats with reduced bolsters, for offcer comfort, and rear anti-stab plates, plus vinyl rear seating and flooring. Other highlights include a reinforced top tray for mounting equipment, metal console mounting plate, red and white task lighting in the overhead console, police engine-idle feature, unique alloy wheels, and an auxiliary power distribution box in the trunk. Several unique options are available for the Special Service Plug-In Hybrid Sedan, including a driver spot lamp, a trunk storage vault, trunk ventilation system, and a rear door control-disabling feature. A special dark-car feature turns off interior lighting and allows the dash cluster to be dimmed 100 percent for surveillance, and several emergency lighting packages like those found on other Ford police vehicles are also available. The new Special Service Plug-In Hybrid Sedan joins two other Ford police vehicles revealed this year: Ford Police Responder Hybrid Sedan and F-150 Police Responder. Recently, both successfully completed rigorous testing conducted by Michigan State Police at Grattan Raceway in Belding, Michigan, and Los Angeles County Sheriff s Department at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. Customers will be able to order the Special Service Plug-In Hybrid Sedan in December with sales starting next summer. F-150 SSV / Expedition SSV / Transit Prisoner Transport Vehicle The 2019 F-150 Special Service Vehicle (SSV) has a segment-exclusive combination of advanced materials that are durable and inhibit corrosion, technologies that improve productivity, effciency and driver confidence, plus the best towing capability of any F-150, ever. Both the F-150 and Expedition SSV have updated powertrains, including a second-generation 3.5-liter EcoBoost or newly upgraded 5.0-liter V8 for F-150, paired to a segment-exclusive 10-speed automatic. The Ford-built transmission delivers improved acceleration and performance over previous six-speed automatics. Both vehicles add Auto Start-Stop for greater fuel efficiency. On the Expedition SSV, a 3.73 rear differential is now an electronic limited-slip differential. A high-output 240-amp alternator replaces the stock unit to accommodate for extended idle times and meet the demands for additional on-board electrical power in both vehicles. Standard 40/20/40 seats are replaced with 40/blank/40 seats, with the center section deleted to create more space for customization. Because law enforcement work can be messy, a vinyl bench in place of the rear seat aids in quick cleanup, while easy-to-clean vinyl flooring replaces carpeting. While our Police Interceptor Utility remains the best-selling law enforcement vehicle in the country by a large margin, some agencies need to haul five people with higher equipment-carrying capacity, or off-road capabilities are required, said Stephen Tyler, Ford police brand marketing manager. That s where the F-150 SSV and Expedition SSV come in. The F-150 SSV provides a selection of configurations so fleets can pick what best suits their needs. Available in XL trim for F-150 SuperCrew or SuperCab configuration, customers can opt for either a 4x4 or 4x2 drivetrain. Whether equipped with the V8 or high-torque EcoBoost, power is not a problem for customers choosing either of these Special Service Vehicles. The 2019 Transit Prisoner Transport Vehicle (PTV) features three different roof heights; three lengths; two wheel bases; four body styles; and three powertrains (3.7L V6 Flex Fuel, 3.5L EcoBoost and 3.2L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel).

31 Collision Avoidance for Law Enforcement Tailored to Officers Driving Challenges Unlike other drivers navigating the road, officers must continuously shift their driving focus to scan the environment for potential disturbances and manage in-vehicle technologies. The risk of distraction is high, particularly when combined with long shifts behind the wheel. The Mobileye Collision Avoidance System addresses this risk and helps protect officers while they re on patrol. The System continuously scans the road ahead, performing advanced driver-scene analysis. When a threat is detected, the driver is warned with visual and audible alerts in real-time. These alerts can give officers the crucial seconds necessary to avoid or mitigate a potentially devastating collision. Tailored to meet the demands placed on officers in critical pursuit situations, the System automatically mutes all alerts when in Pursuit Mode, with the exception of critical collision warnings. Officers put their lives on the line every day. The Mobileye System can help keep them safer by reducing the risk of collisions.

In addition, the DSRP is capable of operating on roadways and off-road situations. The bike is lightweight, which allows the rider to handle the motorcycle with ease. Due to the fact the two bikes are built on different platforms, there are a few characteristics that stand out between the DSRP and Zero s FXP police motorcycle. The DSRP has a larger battery pack, which means it has more range and a higher performance motor with a top speed of 102 miles per hour and 116 ft-lb torque. The DSRP also has a lower seat height and more carrying and storage options than the FXP. The FXP is ideal for numerous patrol and pursuit situations since it is lighter and more nimble in terms of maneuvering. Though both are capable of enduring on road and off-road situations, the FXP has more off-road ability making it ideal for unpaved roadways. It has a taller and narrower stance than the DSRP, which allows it to fit in tight spaces such as entertainment and sports venues. The DSRP is compatible with any patrol scenario an offcer encounters. Both the Zero DSRP and FXP police motorcycles are completely electric. Additionally, they weigh about half of the total weight of most police motorcycles. There are several features that make these particular motorcycles unique. They are very economical in cost when it comes to fuel and maintenance. The powertrain requires no scheduled maintenance and the bikes charge with a standard 110V outlet. The DSRP has fast charging capabilities and may be charged using the J1772 charging stations. These stations are already being used by many agencies for other electric fleet vehicles. When designing the DSRP and the FXP, the company took into consideration the time, effort, and cost it takes to maintain fleet motorcycles. Zero acquired input from other departments on what aspects they saw as important, such as the ability to add additional police lighting. Included in the police motorcycle packages are emergency lights, siren and PA systems, protection bars on the front frame, and a Stealth Mode. The Stealth Mode Switch is able to cut off the headlights, the taillights, and the light on the dash. Zero also has a variety of accessories made for comfort and storage for riders. In regard to lights, the FXP has a telescoping blue LED pole light that makes the bike and rider more visible to other vehicles on the road. These accessories include windscreens, hand guards, and extra cases. Any added accessories chosen for the police motorcycles are installed upon order in the factory. Patrol Motorcycles Though police motorcycles have been around for years, companies are taking into consideration the needs of departments and the officers who ride their bikes. In particular, more added features that elevate safety are included and further developed in each policeengineered motorcycle. With each new model come advanced headlights, better fuel economy, quieter engines, and more stable motorcycles to keep offcers safer and more prepared.

Over the past few years, the Dodge Police Product Team has really changed the landscape of Law Enforcement vehicles and what defines a purpose-built police vehicle. After the legacy of the Crown Victoria ended in 2011, there was a void in the Police sedan marketplace. Many agencies decided this was the turning point to switch their fleets over to all SUVs or at least a large percentage of their vehicles to SUVs. Even though many looked to SUVs to fill the void, there was still a demand for a Pursuit Rated sedan police vehicle and Dodge answered the call with the Dodge Charger Pursuit. What resulted is what s now known as arguably the best Pursuit Rated Police sedan available. Part of that success is attributed to Dodge listening very closely to both their Police Advisory Board and their customers. This allowed them to develop a Police program that encompasses some industry-leading products. Sales of the Dodge Charger Pursuit against any of the competition Police sedans clearly speak for themselves. The Charger Pursuit is the top-selling Police sedan in the U.S. market. The pursuit sedan success is great, but it still wasn t enough for the Dodge Police Product Team. The Dodge engineers and product development team realized that given the high take rate of SUVs in Law Enforcement, they must also match the success of the competition s Pursuit Rated SUV products. What then followed within the highly coveted Pursuit Rated Police SUV market dominated by Ford s Police Interceptor Utility and the Chevrolet PPV Tahoe was a rather fierce competitor. Dodge spent development time and money into the expansion of its police vehicle lineup in the three-row SUV segment with a Pursuit version of the Dodge Durango for the 2019 model year. The 2019 Dodge Durango Pursuit was previously marketed as a Special Service Vehicle. But now it has had some serious engineering enhancements that make it the vehicle to watch, as the 2019 Dodge Durango Pursuit will be included in Dodge s offcial testing lineup at this year s MSP 45

48 UP CLOSE 2019 Dodge Durango Pursuit and LASD events. We believe the 2019 Dodge Durango Pursuit SUV will take our game to the next level, and give the agencies even more of what they want: safety, performance, and effciency, said Steve Beahm, head of Dodge brand. In keeping with the success of the Charger Pursuit sedan, the Durango Pursuit SUV now features a new, all-black grilled front fascia with integrated brake-cooling air ducts for improved brake performance and durability. As is required with any Pursuit-Rated police vehicle, braking is one of the most important components. Demands on a police vehicle s brakes during a pursuit can be devastating. The Dodge team answered those concerns with a Pursuit- Rated, heavy-duty setup that incorporates larger 13.8-inch front rotors and 13-inch rears rotors. These heavy-duty anti-lock brakes deliver a 60 to zero mph stopping distance of 134 feet. This new braking system incorporates Ready Alert Braking, which anticipates situations when the driver may initiate an emergency stop and sets the brake pads against the rotors, decreasing the time required for full brake application. A performance-tuned, load-levelling suspension joins the Durango Pursuit for 2019 and bolsters control and stability, enhancing its 46 Police Fleet Manager Jul-Aug 2018

49 Pursuit-level driving capabilities. The 2019 Dodge Durango Pursuit offers the standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine rated at 293 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque or the available 5.7L HEMI V-8 rated at a best-inclass 360 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque. All Durango Pursuit models are equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission and allwheel-drive (AWD). Dodge Durango Pursuit V-8 models include the segment s most technologically advanced AWD system with a segment-exclusive active transfer case to improve real-world fuel economy while also enhancing the vehicle s traction and handling. The legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 is the same powertrain combination most commonly deployed in the Dodge Charger Pursuit. The Durango Pursuit also offers a two-speed transfer case for true low-range off-road capability. The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 is rated a zero to 60 mph time of 7.1 seconds. Additional highlights for 2019 include: performance-tuned suspension; load-levelling NIVOMAT shocks; larger front and rear stabilizer bars; and 18-inch pursuit rated tires on aluminum wheels. Still more features include: ParkView rear backup camera with Park- Sense, seven airbags for maximum offcer safety in case of impact; spot lamp wiring prep Visit Us at PFE 2018 BOOTH #

Currently, Dodge offers its factory-installed OEM upfit equipment through its own second-stage authorized aftermarket upfitter partner, Ground Effects (GFX). GFX offers a host of a la carte options all the way to a complete turnkey vehicle for those who simply want to title, register, and go Dodge Durango Pursuit models earned an EPA-estimated 25 miles per gallon (mpg) highway with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 and 22 mpg highway with the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine. Durango Pursuit V-8 can tow a best-in-class 7,200 lbs. and offers available trailer sway control. Durango Pursuit features the segment s longest wheelbase at 120 inches for added stability and handling. A spare tire is mounted under the vehicle, maximizing interior cargo space and accessibility, while offering 8.1 inches of ground clearance for added off-road capability. Technology is also at the forefront of the new Durango Pursuit with cutting-edge applications that are both functional and offcer-friendly. Tech features include multiview full-color customizable displays, a Driver Information Digital Cluster Display with dozens of graphics that communicate vehicle data; and available 7-inch color U-Connect systems with Bluetooth connectivity and hands-free voice-activated commands. In the retail space, U-Connect is well known as one of the smoothest and best-executed multimedia interfaces on the market today. Although not announced at first release, it is likely we will see the integration of the optional U-Connect 12.1-inch screen that allows agencies to have a fixed screen on the dash of the Durango instead of a standalone computer mount. The Police Product Team has spent a great deal of time engineering this solution, providing instructions on how to properly set up RealVNC on a computer to integrate with the Uconnect 12.1 screen with various mobile Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) software. In addition, the Equipment Mounting Bracket and the Patrol Package Base Prep allow for the addition of police-specific communications and equipment. Aftermarket upfitters should see little or no change with the availability of emergency lighting and equipment since the vendors have already designed and engineered their accessories and lighting for the Special Service Version of the Durango that s been out for several years. The 2019 new front fascia should lend itself to some new lighting design changes that will fully integrate with the new design. Dodge has always packed their vehicles with features and options that the competition often chooses to list as optional. The Durango has standard keyless Enter n Go, a push-button ignition system with proximity entry. The driver can leave the key fob in his/her pocket, and the doors are unlocked by touching the exterior door handle. The vehicle will then start with the push of a button on the instrument panel when the brake pedal is depressed. In keeping with the benefits of an SUV police vehicle, the interior cargo space is definitely something significant in this Pursuit Rated vehicle with the Durango Pursuit s SAE Cargo Volume measurements as follows: Behind Third Row: 17.2 cu. ft. (0.49 cu. m) Behind Second Row: 47.7 cu. ft. (1.35 cu. m) Behind Front-row Seats with Rear Seats Folded: 84.5 cu. ft. (2.39 cu. m) All said and done, this new entry into the coveted Pursuit-Rated Police SUV market could be a game changer. If the 2019 Dodge Durango Pursuit is as well executed as the Dodge Charger Pursuit, then the competition might have some catching up to do! The 2019 Dodge Durango Pursuit is available for orders now with deliveries expected to start by the end of summer For more information, law enforcement agencies should call (800) or go to Photos courtesy of the FCA Fleet Post your comments on this story by visiting 48 Police Fleet Manager Jul-Aug 2018

52 TECHNOLOGY FordÕs 2020 Police Interceptor Utility Hybrid FORD S 2020 POLICE INTERCEPTOR UTILITY HYBRID HYBRID TECHNOLOGY ON A PROVEN PLATFORM BY BRAD BREWER As the North American leader in Law Enforcement vehicles, Ford is not a company to rest on its laurels as they continue to command a dominating presence in the Law Enforcement market. Ford works closely with its Police Advisory Board (PAB) in developing its Police Program and it clearly shows with market share, and the best-selling Police SUV on the market. Since the Crown Victoria went away in 2011, the Ford Police Program Engineering Team has done a remarkable job in delivering products made specifically for the men and women in blue who use them day in and day out. It s that PAB input that so finely tunes the Ford products so they are exactly what is needed on the front lines. The Police Interceptor Utility (PIU) based on the retail Ford Explorer is due for its next redesign in Ford has recently deviated from the past of traditional Auto Show reveals to go with standalone unconventional reveals. While the retail production model of the new 2020 Explorer has not been teased to the public yet, the Police Team has released a few hints to get everyone s attention, including those in retail. Not only will this be a redesign for both Retail and Police, but this will be the introduction of the all-new PIU Hybrid model. The production model hasn t been shown to anyone yet, but we now know basically what it ll look like thanks to some recently published photos of the 2020 Ford PIU hybrid. While the overall silhouette might look very familiar and fool you into thinking it s the same old Explorer at first, the new front end and subtly different proportions confirm that this is indeed a new model, which rides on a new platform. Rumor is we will get our first good look at the retail Explorer redesign at the 2019 North American International Auto Show. This Police Interceptor Utility is fitted with an all-new hybrid drivetrain that supplies power to all four wheels. Although Ford isn t 50 Police Fleet Manager Jul-Aug 2018

54 TECHNOLOGY FordÕs 2020 Police Interceptor Utility Hybrid providing any details beyond an estimated EPA combined rating of 24 mpg, this is a big improvement over the current all-wheel-drive Explorer V-6 s 19 mpg combined. The other big improvement is torque. We all know what electric motors can do, but when Law Enforcement demands a vehicle that can idle on the side of the road for hours and then accelerate out of that spot in mere seconds, an electric motor may be just what we ve been waiting for. Electric power mated with a police-purposed allwheel drive system could be the best combination we have seen in years. Think big torque and big power but all with improvements in fuel economy. Again, listening to the advice of the PAB, police engineers designed a purpose-built system for the police duty cycle. The 2020 Ford Police Interceptor Utility s hybrid powertrain can offer significant potential fuel savings compared to that of traditional police vehicles. Its lithium-ion hybrid battery can also provide added benefits when considering the unique idling demands of day-to-day police use. Ford has made it easy to estimate savings for those having to justify the price to purchase new vehicles. To see just how these potential savings can benefit your agency, go to this link and use the fuel savings calculator based on your duty cycle: ford.com/police-vehicles/police-interceptor/hybrid-utility/calculator/. In keeping with Ford s overall plan to electrify the majority of its fleet over the next few years, it is very likely that a version of this gasoline-electric powertrain will make its way into the retail production Explorer, too. Another little detail Ford is letting out at this point is that the 2020 model, despite having batteries onboard, actually has slightly more cargo space than the outgoing Police Interceptor Utility, which probably will translate to other versions. Passenger volume remains at 118 cubic feet. Cargo volume behind the first row seats goes from 85 to 89 cubic feet. Cargo volume behind the second row seating goes from 48 to 50 cubic feet, making a total overall interior volume up from 166 to 168 cubic feet. The new retail Explorer s proportions align with its switch to a traditional rear wheel drive configuration with a longitudinally mounted engine, as has been confirmed for its Lincoln sister, the Aviator, which will likely launch next year. The dash-to-axle ratio is different and the front and rear overhangs appear significantly reduced, while the rising beltline, combined with the tapering roofline, make for a Range Rover-esque look. A high-performance Explorer ST is said to be in the cards, likely with a version of Ford s 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 underhood. The Explorer ST will mimic the Ford Performance Division input that we have already seen with the all-new Edge ST. Technology has also been at the forefront of what the Police Program Team has been developing. Not only was Ford the first to leverage existing retail safety systems to enhance offcer safety with Surveillance Mode, but they continue to push the envelope with the 2020 PIU. Now called Police Perimeter Alert the system is much improved over the last generation. It uses Blind Spot Information Sensors (BLIS) for an approximately 270-degree monitoring zone outside the vehicle and analyzes the motion to determine if the behaviour occurring outside is a threat. It features a visual display in the instrument panel cluster that shows moving objects, the motion trail, and potential threat level. When potentially threatening behavior is detected, it will also sound an audible alert, roll up windows, lock the doors, and activate the rear-view camera. Police fleet managers will also love the fact that every 2020 Ford PIU comes with a built-in Ford modem and complimentary twoyear Ford TelematicsTM subscription for fuel savings, CO2 emissions, vehicle health, and more. This simple-to-use, yet powerful tool delivers manufacturer-grade information, insights, and solutions directly to fleet managers for analysis and potential savings. Also for 2020 is standard hands-free Bluetooth. This technology allows for pass-through voice commands to mobile devices, allowing offcers to keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Optional for 2020, that new rear view camera (RVC) is now called Rear Camera on Demand. For additional safety not only when in Police Perimeter Alert, the RVC can also be activated independently with the push of a button, which is not limited to just when the vehicle is in Reverse. As we enter into the 2019 model year order cycle, it is sure to be a short build cycle with the Explorer 2019 schedule starting in August 2018 and running only until February The month of March will be used for Chicago Assembly Plant retooling to be ready for the 2020 model year production shortly thereafter. Explorer enthusiasts are highly anticipating the Jan. 14, 2019 start to the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) where it is likely we will see the unveiling of the new 2020 Explorer and Explorer ST. But don t hold your breath for the PIU Hybrid to be there, since Ford marketing loves to break from tradition and host the PIU Hybrid reveal all on its own. Get ready for exciting things to come after January Ford said more offcial information on the civilian-spec 2020 Explorer is forthcoming, but for now, the teaser photos of the all-new PIU Hybrid at least give offcers and fleet managers a good idea of what to expect from the Blue Oval s next three-row SUV for police use.

56 UP CLOSE SMART Goals to Help You Plan Your Upfit Part 2 SMART GOALS TO HELP YOU PLAN YOUR UPFIT PART 2 BY JESSE PETERS / KELTEK INCORPORATED In our last article, Jesse talked about the S.M.A.R.T. method of success: a way to set concrete goals with measurable objectives. If you re planning an upfit project for your fleet, this strategy can help you get the most for your money and best meet the needs of your organization. We already discussed how planning a vehicle upfitting project for your fleet starts with setting goals that are specific and measurable. Today, I ll cover how to also make your goals attainable, relevant, and time-bound. Set Attainable Goals One way people and organizations commonly sabotage their own success is by setting unattainable goals. It s unrealistic to expect to lose 50 pounds in two months or run a three-hour marathon after six weeks of training; setting these kinds of unattainable goals is a recipe for failure and frustration. It would be fantastic to upfit your fleet with Jetsons-style flying car technology this year, but setting this goal as part of your upfit plan isn t realistic. Similarly, you may want to upgrade every SUV, truck, and passenger vehicle in your fleet to the latest in communications technology, but you may not realistically have the time or money to do so. Work with an experienced upfit professional to identify your needs and what upfits can be implemented to meet as many of them as possible within your budget. Keltek understands that upfitting your fleet can be a time-consuming and complicated process, but you don t have to go at it alone. Keltek can help you set attainable steps along the way to work toward your goals and get you rolling in no time. Remember: Be Relevant! Make sure the goals you set for your upfit project are relevant to the needs and functionality of your department. You may be able to afford the latest and greatest radio communication systems, but would that provide added value for your organization? Sometimes the answer will definitely be yes, but sometimes you can save money by getting creative in how/where you can reallocate features and benefits of one product into another product you are already considering. Don t sacrifice quality, however; in the long term, you may pay more to repeatedly replace lesser-quality parts in high-stress uses. For example, a cheaper metal prisoner barrier in the rear seat of a police vehicle may be more vulnerable to compromise as it gets older due to the lighter weight of the metal structure. This could put your personnel s safety at risk or necessitate replacing your equipment more frequently than your plan (or budget) allows. SPECIFIC MEASURABLE ATTAINABLE RELEVANT TIME-BOUND An experienced vehicle upfitter can help you figure out the products that are best tailored to meet your needs without adding unnecessary cost to your upfit project. Finish Strong with Time-Bound Goals Since your budget for upfitting and fleet costs is typically associated with all public service vehicles, try to schedule upfits as early in the year as possible. Other agencies may be comparing bids for months and then compete to find an upfitter that is able to get the work finished before the fiscal year s end to fit in the budget. Choosing a vehicle upfitter that is pre-approved for Iowa state contracts, for example, removes the need for and expense of the bidding and RFP process and allows you to get an early start on your upfit projects. This lets you schedule your upgrades and replacements for the first half of the year. Ordering a turnkey finished product early in the year expedites the labor and installation process and gets your vehicles back on the job again quickly. Make this the year you don t procrastinate get your upfits done early! Post your comments on this story by visiting 54 Police Fleet Manager Jul-Aug 2018

58 TECHNOLOGY Ford and Telematics Help Save Money and Lives FORD AND TELEMATICS HELP SAVE MONEY AND LIVES BY YESENIA DURAN Remember General Motors OnStar back in the 1990s? That was the first time many people in the United States experienced a telematics system in a vehicle. Although the more popular elements of OnStar were the navigation and concierge service, OnStar also included telematics technology that monitored the condition of the vehicle through sensors and alerted the company s operators to warn customers when something was wrong. How did this work? Telematics systems like OnStar received data from a vehicle s onboard sensors via the built-in computer and transmitted that data in real time via cellular connection to a cloud or other type of server outside of the vehicle. Software on the server then analyzed the data and that information was eventually relayed back to the car s owner. Currently, telematics systems are most commonly found on commercial vehicles where fleet managers use them to reduce costs of operation. However, some law enforcement fleet managers are beginning to test telematics systems in patrol vehicles. Building upon Ford s long-standing commitment to commercial and government fleets, as well as the Dearborn, Mich.-based company s commitment to deliver 100-percent connectivity across its vehicle lineup, Ford Commercial Solutions is introducing two products designed to help fleets easily access useful data about their vehicles that will improve their operation. First, the new Data Services product gives fleet managers and telematics service providers direct access to valuable OEM-grade vehicle data, allowing them to better manage their fleets. A second product designed for police fleets takes data collected through the Data Services product and distills it into information that can help improve fleet effciency and driver behavior. Ford Commercial Solutions has entered into new service agreements with Geotab and Spireon while continuing to work with Verizon Connect to ensure fleet operators have a choice in telematics service providers. Experts say telematics can save agencies money and prevent offcers and civilians from being injured or even killed in patrol vehicle accidents. Minimizing waste and reducing cost are crucial to fleet operations, said Beth Leverton, product owner, Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement, and part of the Ford Commercial Solutions team. Through the Ford system, fleet managers can monitor the fuel consumption of all their vehicles and not only identify areas of waste, but what the causes are too, such as excessive idle time or harsh acceleration outside of pursuit mode. This enables the fleet manager to act on improving effciency and save money over the life of their vehicles, Leverton said. A business unit of Ford Smart Mobility, Ford Commercial Solutions has one goal according to the company: to help fleets improve their operational effectiveness by offering OEM-grade data verified by Ford engineers such as fuel use and vehicle health alerts. The Transportation Mobility Cloud, an open platform that securely manages information flow to and from Ford vehicles embedded modems, facilitates both new products. Integrated Ford modem technology straight from the factory is used to send vehicle data to the Transportation Mobility Cloud. This translates to no installation downtime or third-party device management. Our developers as well as third-party authorized service providers can securely and easily access our APIs to leverage processed vehicle data, Leverton stated. These interfaces are secured using current best practices and technologies, allowing powerful applications to be built on top of the platform. Saving Lives and Money It s safe to say the adoption of telematics by law enforcement agencies has the potential to save both offcer and civilian lives. The systems can flag unsafe driving patterns by offcers so that agencies can coach the offcers to make changes in their driving behavior. Gary Oldham, manager of public safety business development for Telogis, and a former Southern California police offcer, said in Ford Commercial Solutions is introducing two new connected vehicle products designed to provide fleets with key insights about their own performance and solutions to help improve their operation. 56 Police Fleet Manager Jul-Aug 2018

59 Ford s new Data Services product gives fleet managers and telematics service providers direct access to valuable OEMgrade vehicle data, allowing them to better manage their fleets. a statement that offcers should not think of a telematics system as a Big Brother tattletale that will get them in trouble, but as a safety tool that could prevent even more serious trouble. The Ford Telematics-based fleet information tool provides law enforcement fleets with information flowing from their Ford vehicles translated into insights on a variety of different aspects of vehicle operation, including location, direction, speed, seat belt use, passenger presence, air bag deployment, engine RPMs, braking, light bar activation, siren status, gun lock status, and trouble codes. That data is presented through an intuitive, cloud-based website providing law enforcement fleet managers an easy way to check how their fleet is operating whether they want to view how effcient they are as a whole or to get data on a specific vehicle, Leverton noted. It also provides a range of insights related to driver safety such as seat belt usage and speeding alerts. Seat belt usage among law enforcement offcers is still in the 42% range. These insights allow fleet managers to implement coaching for their drivers to enhance their safety, Leverton said. Telematics systems can also alert watch commanders and supervisors via text or that a patrol car s air bag has been deployed, and this can lead to fewer offcers dying alone from injuries incurred in an accident when timely medical response could have saved their lives. In such an incident, the telematic would not only send an alert that the offcer had been in an accident, it would also pinpoint the offcer s location, which is critical at the time of an accident when an offcer may be incapacitated. While offcer safety is always number one, Law Enforcement fleet managers can t ignore that telematics also can help agencies reduce the operating costs of their vehicles. The technology has the potential to do this two ways: through savings on fuel and by letting fleet managers know a vehicle has a problem before the problem becomes serious and therefore much more costly. With the current turmoil affecting the cost of gasoline, tracking fuel economy is becoming a greater concern for fleet managers. One of the many things the company s telematics tools can do is allow fleet managers to analyze gas mileage performance in detail and make comparisons between drivers. Let s say you have two identical vehicles and you want to know why one is getting 17 mpg and the other is getting 21 mpg. You can use our product to determine what is in the driving behavior of the drivers that s giving you different gas mileage, Leverton commented. Fuel is a major operating cost for Law Enforcement fleets but an even larger cost concern is vehicle maintenance and vehicle replacement. Telematics systems can alert agencies when a vehicle needs routine maintenance such as an oil change. More importantly, a telematics system can let a fleet manager know when a car is indicating a trouble code, which is typically something offcers have been known to ignore until a car breaks down. Offcers ignoring warning lights can be a source of great pain for Law Enforcement agencies. Fleet managers report that offcers have been known to bring their vehicles in for oil changes and say something like, Oh, this warning light has been on the dashboard for three weeks now. What does that mean? It s a New, Better Way Ford s new Data Services product focuses primarily on serving large company fleets, telematics service providers, and fleet management companies. The service takes advantage of Ford vehicles built-in modem to transfer vehicle data directly from the vehicle to the cloud, without the need for additional third-party hardware, management or installation downtime, as is required for a third-party plug-in device. The vehicle data is relayed to a fleet s internal IT system or telematics service provider through an application program interface. Utilizing Data Services, fleets can gain access to Ford vehicle information such as GPS location, mileage, fuel use data, vehicle health alerts, driver behavior, and more. Because Ford designed the vehicle including its electrical architecture, data systems, and vehicle technology the company is able to provide the newest updates and vehicle signals as soon as they become available, and deliver insights as quickly as agencies need them. Additionally, Ford Commercial Solutions is committed to ensuring fleets have the power to choose which telematics service provider or fleet management company is the best fit for their agency. While continuing its existing relationship with Verizon Connect, Ford Commercial Solutions has secured new service agreements with Geotab and Spireon to ensure fleet operators have a choice in telematics service providers. Geotab is advancing security, connecting commercial vehicles to the Internet, and providing Web-based analytics to help customers better manage their fleets. Spireon, Inc. is North America s leading connected vehicle intelligence company, providing businesses and consumers with powerful insights to track, manage, and protect their most valuable mobile assets. Fleets with Ford vehicles that are not equipped with modems will be able to take advantage of both Ford Commercial Solutions products later this year, when a Ford-engineered plug-in device will enable fleets to connect Ford vehicles dating back to the 2012 model year. Our manufacturer-grade telematics hardware and software have been engineered in conjunction with the Ford vehicles fleets use every day, Leverton said. This means that they work together seamlessly to deliver solutions that are easy to implement and can have an immediate positive impact on operations. Our products are continually evolving too, so that customers will always benefit from the latest telematics solutions, direct from Ford.

60 TECHNOLOGY FirstNet FirstNet Update: FLEET MANAGEMENT OF THE FUTURE BY STEPHANIE KANOWITZ As first responders begin to research First- Net, the country s first cellular network dedicated to use by public-safety officials, the possibilities for police fleets are beginning to emerge. AT&T, which is using its infrastructure as the backbone for FirstNet through a public/private partnership between the company and the First Responder Network Authority, made its Fleet Complete management platform available on the FirstNet network. In a January blog post, Mike Zeto, general manager of AT&T Smart Cities, wrote that Fleet Complete can bridge connected devices, such as phones, cameras and radios, and FirstNet to facilitate public-safety efforts in several ways. First, Fleet Complete details location, destination, speed and engine diagnostics. And it also allows for geofencing and customizable exception reporting, Zeto wrote. It s integrated with AT&T s Enhanced Push-to-Talk, which lets fleet managers and dispatchers communicate directly with offcers in the field. Additionally, Fleet Complete can support wearable technologies such as body-worn cameras and sensors that send data to incident commanders, improving situational awareness, he wrote. The authority also has a vision of what fleet management can look like. In a 2016 blog post, the FirstNet CTO Devices Team outlined the Vehicle Network System (VNS), which would replace mobile communications units. A VNS is a set of radio access and other technologies that enable a first responder s vehicle to act as a virtual cell site for Band 14 Long Term Evolution (LTE) devices, according to the blog. The system has particular potential for remote fleets, which can implement satellite connectivity or HP-UE radios or LTE Relay to access FirstNet s terrestrial network. What s more, VNS would be built into first responder vehicles that they use every day, so VNS is there when first responders need it, without calling for a conventional deployable to be sent to the incident, the blog stated. Guarded Optimism In practice, fleet managers are still getting up to speed on what FirstNet means for them. Many, like Capt. Matthew Ayers, patrol division commander at the Sevierville, Tenn., Police Department, know they need to modernize their communications. For instance, during the Gatlinburg fires of 2016, GPS, voice on radio, and cell signals failed in the smoky mountain terrain. To that end, he s compiled a capabilities wish list. If I could start all over with a brand-new piece of paper and complete ability to utilize our funding in a way that we would want, and the ability to do a full technology refresh, I would want body-worn cameras, integrated in-car cameras all of it able to livestream to dispatch or supervisors mobile devices, Ayers said. I would want radio communications in there with full spectrum, meaning we can talk to anybody else within our realistic operating area. But his yearly operational budget is about $900,000, and for the 60 units he oversees, that puts technology such as bodyworn cameras, which would cost the department about $60,000 just for subscriptions and data, out of reach. When I think about FirstNet, I need to know more. I need to know how forward-compatible it is, and what is the realistic cost to get on board, Ayers said. The first concern I would have about adopting any technology is what is the lifespan? How long until it s obsolete? What we re seeing right now is new stuff comes out and it s very quickly obsolete. Tips for Getting Started Scott Coy, president of EVC, an emergency vehicle conversion company in Kalamazoo, Mich., spent 14 years in law enforcement, leaving as an executive lieutenant in charge of the information technology department. Now, he helps agencies determine how to outfit their fleets, from computer and video systems to light bars. It s with those perspectives he offers advice on what fleet managers need to consider as they look into FirstNet-enabled opportunities. The first priority for a fleet manager is communication, cooperation, and planning with the IT and getting the base knowledge of what FirstNet is all about, said Coy, who chairs the Police Fleet Expo for this publication. You re going to have to learn something or the IT guys are going to bowl you over, or they re going to tell you what you need. You need to know what it is you need. You need to know base functionality. Fleet managers should conduct a self-evaluation to understand what technology they have, what they need, and what they might need down the road. It s a heck of a lot easier to do it now than to add it later, Coy said of functionality. Existing systems should continue to work with FirstNet at least initially, he said. If something doesn t, the change should be minimal, he added. For instance, if the modem isn t compatible with FirstNet, the one that is still runs on 12 volts and needs one antenna. It s a footprint change of something that s already there. In terms of paying for FirstNet capabilities, he s optimistic. In fact, small departments in which officers still drive cars with nothing but lights and radios stand to gain the most from FirstNet, Coy said. There will be grants available for this type of thing, he said. I think this is an awesome opportunity for agencies that could never afford any of this stuff.
