The Athens Police Department and Ohio University Police Department have a long history of cooperation. |
Both departments carry out joint patrols of the city and the campus. |
Capt. Ralph Harvey said these patrols are currently carried out in the Athens PD cruisers. |
The Athens police has only five cars, which can put a strain on the department's resources. |
OUPD, located in the Scott Quadrangle, will be receiving another police cruiser. |
Both departments are encouraging the citizens of Athens to participate in designing the car. |
The community will submit the designs as a part of a competition to be judged by the Joint Police Advisory Council. |
These designs must meet several guidelines. |
One of these guidelines is that the design must bear the logos of both police departments and the city of Athens. |
There is no timetable when this project will be finished, but a new cruiser will help both departments better serve and protect the community. |
