Westland Police Receive Mission Green Award for Greening Fleet

Westland Police are becoming more Eco-friendly. They will have 20 new E-85 powered patrol vehicles on the road -  eight new 2014 Ford Explorer SUV's and 12 new 2014 Ford Taurus cars.


 "The Mayor has challenged all city departments to lower their carbon footprint and the Westland Police Department is committed to greening our patrol fleet. These vehicles are more fuel efficient  producing less tailpipe emissions. The vehicles are not only more efficient but are equipped with the latest technology, which assist officers in their day- to- day jobs," said Westland Police Chief Jeff Jedrusik


 

Mayor WIld is presenting them with a Westland Mission: Green Eco Friendly award on Tuesday November 25 at 3 p.m. at BP Gas Station - 6690 N. Newburgh.  This award falls into the Mayor's "Mission Green" initiative that was started in 2009.
