The trend of law enforcement agencies going “black and white,” with its choice of patrol cars is continuing in Kitsap County, with the Bremerton Police Department’s roll out of five cruisers this week.
In a February story, we showcased a deputy (pictured) with the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office who had recently picked up a black and white-colored Crown Victoria.
Now, Bremerton is bringing out a total of five black and whites. But the department will be converting its entire fleet to the basic, yet sleek color scheme over the next few years.
Only the sheriff’s office and the Bremerton Police have plans for
black and whites in the county — at least for now.
The four black and whites have been patrolling Bremerton’s roads starting this week. A fifth, made for Officer Billy Renfro and his K-9 partner, Lance, will be unveiled soon, said police Lieutenant Greg Rawlins.
“We hope to have Billy and Lance ready to go for the (Kitsap County) fair,” Rawlins said.
