The department will eventually maintain four squad cars, one for each officer, Stovall said. There is one brown car remainina Pnlir-n Chief Raymond Simpson's, but it will eventually be painted blue or traded for a "Holden Beach blue" model, Stovaii said. The newest blue squad car has one round blue light on its top while the blue Chrysler maintains one blue light and one red light. That was by accident, Stovall said. A lens was damaged by the wind and a replacement was ordered, he said. When the replacement lens arrived, it was red instead of blue. "The red lens seems to be a lot more visible anyway," Stovall said. "So we left it that way."
