Given the condition of some of the vehicles currently in use, the Sheriff did not feel that he could wait that long and began a search to find vehicles that would be available sooner. The Sheriff is currently working with a dealer in Sterling Heights, MI (Sterling Heights Dodge, Inc.) who may be able to provide two 2009 Dodge Charger police vehicles within the next 2 weeks.
