A second Ford Interceptor utility vehicle may join the Bluffton police force. On Oct. 8 Bluffton council okayed a request from Rick Skilliter, Bluffton police chief, to send a "letter of intent" to purchase a 2013 vehicle from Statewide Ford.
By approving the letter of intent the village freezes the price on the vehicle at $32,798. In September the village received its first Interceptor. Click here for a look at that vehicle.
