Old truck converted for emergency use

What was only months ago a decades-old worn out truck now looks brand new and will serve as the centerpiece for the Seymour Police Department's Emergency Service Unit.

Hey wait a second!,,,,,didn't they just purchase a similar truck a couple of years ago and it was always parked in front......Does Seymour really need this, I mean com'on what actually goes on in Seymour that would require such a vehicle.....If something did, Seymour doesn't have the resources or experience to handle it so the state police are always called in to these small towns....This is nothing but Show Boating.........They want people to think they are a big time agency

Where do you think all the equipment will have to come from if terrorists decide to attack a BIG CITY,(like Cheshire), and wipe out all of theirs. Planning for the unexpected is the sign of a professional department. I think every town in CT calls in the State Police for major crimes, even Cheshire, if my recollection of current events serves me correctly. The State Police are called because they have the most advanced equipment, now if Seymour purchased a truck that matches, or surpasses the State PD, that would be "show boating."

You do realize those calling the Police "clowns" are probably pot-heads busted by aforementioned "clowns".
