Columbia Police will be getting a new Chevy Tahoe similar to the one pictured here.

The Columbia Police Department will be getting a new vehicle thanks to Columbia Borough Council. Council voted unanimously at last Monday’s meeting to purchase a commercial four-wheel drive, four-door 2017 Chevy Tahoe from Whitmoyer Auto Group in Mount Joy. The cost of the vehicle is $37,200 with additional charges of $13,114 to K&C Communications of Harrisburg for parts, labor, and equipment upfitting. The price includes a discount of $9,989 from COSTARS, Pennsylvania's cooperative purchasing program. “The purchase was a 2017 capital budget approved funded item, according to Council President Kelly Murphy.

The existing police department Tahoe will be reassigned to the Public Works Department for Director Ron Miller to use. The current Public Works Tahoe is “on its last legs,” according to Borough Manager Greg Sahd.
