[QUOTE="bigfug, post: 3940686, member: 4864"] OCPD did not have a policy allowing pit maneuvers until the past year. As such, the cars did not have wrap around TVI (tactical vehicle Intervention) bumpers. Prior to this, they had "push bars". New builds have the TVI bumpers, LEDT instructors got cars with them first, followed by officers who had the TVI training. or would be getting trained. However, due to constraints caused by supply chain issues, there aren't a lot out there. Only the 2021 MY and 22 MY PIU's have them. There were 134 21's built and only 8 22's so far, so for math, we'll say roughly 140 cars have them. 4 divisions plus Bricktown (Uniform Support) so we'll say 5, leaves 28 cars per division with bumpers, or 14 per set (2 sets of 8 days on 6 off overlapping), across 3 shifts, leaving less than 5 vehicles equipped with TVI bumpers per division per set, assuming an officer didn't take off and they are trained in the maneuver. The availability to perform a TVI maneuver is low, coupled with the fact that the conditions have to be present or right to perform. An officer could also be on the other side of the division and each division covers roughly 180-200 sq miles. The city itself covers over 660sq miles and surrounds multiple other municipalities. Just an FYI, I am not officer, I work in Public Safety Communication Support (civilian, city employee) and supervise the guys who build the cars, and work with PD and their fleet supervisor on building the cars, how they are built, maintaining the technology in them, implementing and testing new tech etc. Our radio shop and radio system is one of the largest in the country.
