Unveiling the Ex-Police Ford Explorer

  • 🔍 The video features a 2017 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, a former police patrol vehicle, with a detailed search for its origins and any remaining equipment.
  • 💡 Notable exterior features include Whelen ION light bars, a Unity LED spotlight, a siren speaker, and Goodyear RSA Police Edition tires.
  • 🛠️ The interior reveals a Troy center console with a Touchmaster controller, a Federal Signal microphone, and plastic window bars in the rear.

Interior Discoveries and Repairs

  • 🕵️‍♂️ A search of the interior uncovered items like instant coffee, chewing tobacco remnants, and a clue indicating the vehicle belonged to the Citrus Heights Police Department.
  • 💡 Initial attempts to repair the siren system revealed snipped wires and blown fuses, which were subsequently fixed.
  • ✨ After repairs, the siren controller and interior lights, including headlight flashers, were successfully tested and demonstrated.

Special Equipment and Evidence Found

  • 🛡️ The vehicle is surprisingly equipped with ballistic panels, making its doors bulletproof.
  • 🚨 Among the found items were zip tie handcuffs, a domestic violence resource paper kit, and a DNA collector kit.
  • 🔫 A significant find was a 12-gauge frangible breaching round, identified as a SWAT tool for destroying door locks, which was later tested.

Vehicle Performance and Modifications

  • 🚗 The Ford Explorer has 112,000 miles and a 3.7L V6 engine, with a brand new battery.
  • ⚠️ A check engine light indicated a P0420 code, pointing to a bad catalytic converter, which the owner plans to swap out.
  • 💡 The owner plans to replace the illegal red and blue police lights with legal amber or white lights before selling the vehicle.

Testing the Breaching Round and Roleplay

  • 🎯 At a shooting range, the frangible breaching round was fired at a water jug, demonstrating its shard-like fragmentation.
  • 👮 The owner then engaged in a roleplay scenario, acting as a police officer to investigate and arrest an individual for illegally building a shelter.
  • 💰 The vehicle was purchased for approximately $3,500 after auction fees, described as a risky but ultimately successful buy.
