The first 2013 model vehicle in Bluffton belongs to the village. You might call it a police cruiser, but its official name is a Ford Police Utility Interceptor vehicle. Delivery was made this week and the vehicle was officially perused in the dark by Bluffton council members following the Sept. 24 council meeting.
The price tag of $33,411 came down, after trade ins, to $31,111. According to Rick Skilliter, police chief, the cruiser is projected to be 20 percent more fuel efficiet than existing police cruisers on the Bluffton fleet.
