Fleet Maintenance- FFPD

VIPS Fleet Maintenance Program

Overview:

Regular maintenance of police department pool vehicles or seldom used vehicles will increase their lifespan and readiness for deployment.  Washing and driving vehicles keeps them from developing “lot rot” which can result in costly repairs or maintenance issues.  VIPS may be utilized to conduct vehicle inspections, wash vehicles, and fuel vehicles as needed by the department.

All vehicles driven for the purpose of washing, fueling, or maintenance shall have an “OUT OF SERVICE” sign displayed and visible.  VIPS shall follow all rules of the road, avoid becoming involved in any calls for service, enforcement activities, and avoid talking on the radio except in an emergency.  Drive courteously and responsibly.

All inspections, washes, and fueling shall be documented on the monthly VIPS Fleet Maintenance Log.  The log will be maintained by the VIPS coordinator and inspected quarterly by the Training Unit Sergeant or Training Officer.
