OPP and its vehicles have come a long way since 1909, when it began policing in Ontario. Visitors will get an ideal opportunity to see the newest frontline vehicles and learn more about their innovative technology that places their police fleet among the finest anywhere in North America. Visitors to the show will be able to see and sit inside police cruisers, including a Ford Interceptor, Chevrolet Tahoe and a Harley Davidson motorcycle. The recently restored 1931 Henderson KL motorcycle and the 1941 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Coupe (Car 1) will also be on display. Car 1 is a replica of one of the first 50 OPP vehicles purchased for patrol duties and the organization is recognizing the 75th anniversary of that event. Members of specialized units will be on hand to share information and discuss the OPP's commitment to public safety. Members of the OPP Fleet Section, whose job it is to transform factory vehicles into state-of-the-art frontline cruisers, will field questions about the automobiles and motorcycles on display. The OPP booth is on the 800 level at the AutoShow until Feb. 21 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Follow them live on Twitter @OPP_HSD from the AutoShow where they will share interesting facts, photos and videos about the OPP fleet and its history. --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2016-02-18 17:48:28 Post date GMT: 2016-02-18 22:48:28 Post modified date: 2016-02-18 17:48:28 Post modified date GMT: 2016-02-18 22:48:28 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
