Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 4, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 January 1915 — Ford Motor Squad of Oakland. [ARTICLE]

Ford Motor Squad of Oakland.

To ths equipment of the motor police squad of the city of Oakland, Cal., have just been added three more Ford cars, which gives the Oakland police department a fleet of six hard working Fords. Three years ago the Oakland police department bought three Fords which, in the course of their peacepreserving work, have covered more than 18,000 miles at a cost -of $.0185 per mile. The Oakland poliee Fords now carry two officers and each covers a territory which previously was covered by six officers on foot. The Fords are on duty from eight p. m. to four a. m. Each car is equipped with a first aid service, fire fighting apparatus, repeating shot guns for riot calls and a powerful search light. In this Ford equipment the City of Oakland is following the well; beaten track of other large cities. Practically every American metropolis now has its police and fire departments equipped with from one to ten Ford cars. The low up keep, the reliability and durability of the Ford have universally recommended .it for such official service.
