The Shawnee News-Star This week Shawnee City Commissioners gave its OK to the police department to purchase 15 Dodge Charger Pursuit Sedans. The cars will be purchased from Bob Howard Chrysler Jeep Dodge at the state bid price of $26,135 each. This is the vehicle price only. SPD will also outfit them with added equipment. “When we order the equipment ourselves and complete the installs, we will save approximately $4,000 each,” Shawnee Police Chief Mason Wilson said. “We have recently lost several vehicles due to suspects hitting and permanently disabling our vehicles,” he said. “These were not our newest vehicles, but they were vehicles we intended to keep for a few more years.”
