Our newest additions to the North Charleston Police Traffic Unit are two white 2006 GT Coupe Deluxe Mustangs. Inside these Retros from the 60's, are 4.6 liter engines, 3.VOHC-V8, packing 300 horsepower each. They arrived with Pirelli P-235 tires and bullet style steel wheels. They also house cloth bucket seats for easier maintenance, black GT accent stripes over the hood, top and trunk, and a 5 speed automatic transmission. They are outfitted with the newest stalker radar units, dual Talon blue

LED lighting front and rear, and four corner strobes, also the latest mobile vision compact video system, with wireless transmission. The mission of these two twin stallions will be to blend in with traffic, hunt down and alter traffic violators on our main thorough fares as well as deep inside of our communities where we live. They are an assets to the arsenal of tools that our traffic unit utilizes. We bid farewell to our unmarked Camaro, which was recently taken out by a Drunk Driver during a traffic stop on Rivers Ave in June of this year.

Also our marked Camaro was recently retired to the bone yard due to it being overworked. We're moving into the future, progressively and steady to improve the quality of life for the residence of North Charleston and to those that are here to visit.

unk_Mustang
Looking back, the North Charleston Police Department last utilized Mustangs in the Traffic Unit until 2000. The Mustang pictured here was a fully marked cruiser and was deadlined late 2000. Aside from specialized vehicles which had already been assigned to the Traffic Unit, there have been no other specialized additions to the Traffic Unit fleet until July 2006.
