In the Michigan State Police Vehicle Evaluation and Purchasing Program, vehicles with the best times, speed, and ratings aren’t the only factors in choosing the correct vehicle for an agency’s mission. Following the road tests (dynamics, braking, and acceleration), the program also includes a ergonomics analysis, focusing on issues such as console and equipment placement in relation with drivers and passengers. The program supplies law enforcement with its objective evaluation to enable those interested, the ability to examine and compare data side-by-side. The program sponsored by the Michigan Department of State Police, National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center, and Michigan Department of Management and Budget began more than 25 years ago offering an objective look into the mechanical abilities that next year’s new police vehicle models have to offer.
